This, I think, is at the root of our current masculine panic. Guys are realizing that the traditional offering for women -- be a productive member of the workplace but ALSO be a domestic servant for a man -- sucks. It's a shit deal. And if women have alternatives, they'll take them.

Yeah, when you empower a criminal you get more crime. This is what the death of rule of law looks like (even as imperfect as it was - this is worse). The goal is replace even the idea of rule of law with a spoils system.
