Quote:Women have power in other areas, more relevant today than they were then.Which areas are those?
Quote:It's completely realistic that the balance of power will do a complete 180 as the traits of 'can lift more' and 'bigger' will eventually be the traits of the slave class (technological progress makes it pretty irrelevant for anything but cheap drudgery). These traits have a more significant impact before the likes of hydraulics and heavy machinery and mining lasers are invented1. A complete 180 in the balance of power would mean women would have most of the positions of power and men would be raising the kids. How is this completely realistic? Or did you mean to say that things will simply balance out?
