The West has always had a limited imagination when it comes to the role of women. Societies in the rural amazon jungle don't have much compared to us. But they did have one thing, cocaine. Coca leaves are everywhere which lead to another key cultural innovation: fucking up.
Make women do all the farm work and daily necessary labor while you sleep off your coca leaf induced hangover. Just in time to wake up and get loaded with they guys again the next night.
My point is not that we should make women go to work all day while we hang out and play video games on cocaine. That would be awesome, but its not my point.
My point is that women will always be able to do way more then they pretend they are capable of. As long as they are pushed to do so. And they are pushed by the societal pressures created and maintained by the men around them.
