> We have an illusion of a democracy.

No, you don't get to say that and not be laughed at. You can believe it, but you can't claim it. Democracy isn't just voting for what you want or complaining you didn't get a vote. It's also running for office on a platform that you believe is important. Unless you got elected and tried to implement your ideas and men in black came to stop you, you don't get to complain.

You have completely missed the point. Whether I ran for office or not is completely irrelevant.

There are powerful influential people and entities in this world that make far reaching and wide impacting decisions without consulting or informing the public.

You have to be incredibly naive to believe all government officials, corporations, and financial elites are entirely transparent and honest

Perhaps you missed my question the first time. :))))

Are you as upset that young men are "wasting their lives grinding at meaningless soul crushing fake corporate jobs instead of raising families" as you are about women? Or are you just upset that the wimmenz escaped the kitchens they "belong" in?

That is a good point.

If there were fewer people forced into work, maybe that would cut down the number of pointless/meaningless jobs.

Maybe it is better that only half of a couple are forced into corporate soul crushing jobs. It is subjective. Some women look at child raising / housewife duties as bondage and slavery. Natural selection rewards those who prioritize family. In any case we need generous maternity leave and options for part time employment.

Sooooo.... maybe nobody should be forced into meaningless soul-crushing fake corporate jobs?
From an evolutionary perspective all that matters is that couples reproduce.
wimmenz in kitchenz, got it.
