> Was there something fundamentally wrong with women 50 years ago that we "fixed"?
Women used to be pregnant or with a lot of small kids for most of their early adulthood, that changed about 50 years ago with hormonal contraceptives.
Edit: I wouldn't say that either way is wrong here, but hormonal contraceptives and hormonal medicines in general is certainly a very fundamental change to a human.
If societal roles and expectations make one gender less successful, is that something wrong with "men"/"women" or rather something wrong with the roles and expectations?
