"Something else to keep in mind, my Sisters. Modern Technological Civilization is what makes so many of your present socioeconomic advances possible, so it is in your self interest to reform it and save its best features. By reducing the predominance of gender based physicality in the day to day functions of society, it frees women from nearly all of their traditional gender roles and in many ways makes men less and less necessary.

Note that all the Doomer/Peak Energy/End of Technology scenarios posit regressive socioeconomic paradigms where, because of biological necessity, men once again become essential and women would be required to return to their 'traditional' roles as 'wife and mother'. Therefore it is not surprising that the majority of the proponents of these paradigms are White American Males."
