The reason why women typically weren't in the workplace is because the structure of human society, when humans were nomadic and in small villages, the men would go out and do dangerous things and the women would be protected because if the women die, you can't have any babies.
You only need one guy and you can have more babies, right?
And so women can do what men can do, but typically don't need to.
Men can't do what women do and need to protect the women.
After a thousand years, women stay home, men go work.
They go to the office, women don't.
And then what happens is once you get to a point in society where you have a massive population explosion, which happens around the Industrial Revolution, the expansion of oil products and oil as energy,
You have such a massive explosion of population that the stressors of population decline no longer factor in.
Now you've got women who aren't feeling social pressures to get married and have kids.
And this slowly starts shifting to an ever increasing group of spinsters as a demographic, which results in the suffragettes, a large group of women, not all of them unmarried, but many of them.
And then they're demanding rights to function in society without a husband.
At a certain point, you concede.
We got a lot of people that need to be able to live that don't have husbands.
Then you end up in the 70s when all of them go in the workplace.
Women in the workplace correlates like 100% with less babies.
And so, long story short, the social structure is built around like, why is it that courts favor women getting the babies?
It is fascinating to me how we as society don't know this.
This is a failure on the generation before the millennials to inform the millennials of this.
