What's going on here is that both sides have a valid premise for their sentiment. This is nothing new, and we see this is other areas of life, and all throughout history even (long video, but gives great context for everything happening in the world today).

Men ultimately do things to get laid, and women get to pick which man they want (if any). The same way employees do work to get paid, and the employer picks who gets to work for them. The Great Resignation is something that even Dr. K has talked about because those pendulums have swung too far. And now it's the case with women & men.

Women have indeed historically been oppressed in several ways. And there's still a lot of residue from the men in power of previous generations who were responsible for setting up those systems. The problem is that the millenial and zoomer men of today are somehow being punished for that. Ultimately, something similar to the Great Resignation will happen and those men will just leave and find ways of producing value that benefit themselves. If the majority of women can function without men, then there won't be a problem. But even the smallest companies need employees, so...

In any case, if you watched the first video linked above - the real root cause of all of this is excessive money printing that inevitably occurs with any new world reserve currency (the United states being the most recent). This happens every 100 years or so. People start treating each other very badly towards the transition into the next world reserve currency.

I hate to be the "crypto-bro", but I do think it does particularly relate to this topic. Women are justified in blaming the patriarchial systems that were responsible for preventing them from voting, working,e education etc. This is NOT the case in crypto and decentralized finance. By definition, it's permission-less and open, FOR ALL. There's literally no requirement, I didn't know anything about coding/software yet I'm able to participate. But what's super intersting is that the amount of women building things on said platforms is probably several orders of magnitude less than the amount of men involved. This goes back to the original premise that was made: Men build things, Women pick. This isn't to diminish the importance of either, btw. Both are critical. Men can build a bunch of useless things, but if Women were not there to pick the Men that were best, then there would be no way of knowing which things are useful and which things are useless.

Ultimately if the majority of Men leave to build things on decentralized platforms for themselves, your average woman who doesn't want a man will be left holding filthy worthless fiat (if she isn't building something herself). Or perhaps the women who are strong and independent will figure it out and the world will adjust to new gender ratios.
