in political, economic and social life, until they are self-confined to the role they are told they need to play to do anything of meaning.

Herding them into a pen to be less than they could be is obvious. Everyone who is not actively involved in that herding, recognizes subsconciously what is going on. Whether they agree, many will simply attempt to excell within the jail created for them.

Being the best stay at home woman possible behind the aegis of a man has been the role of women for centuries, a division of labor that is ripe for abuse. It can be profitable for a family of a certain standing economically. Those who cannot survive without both spouses at work, face stigma based on genes and social class.

Being best at anything is good, but not all are born wanting homemaking as their prime function to be what they want to do with their life. Some are frustrated by it, but others embrace it and their work is worthy of respect. But for those who are coerced as your OP states, their full freedom and use of their energy is thwarted. It all depends on whether those choices were made freely or coerced.

The kind of freedom that women ask for is most studiously dismissed by those who claim to be for civil libertarianism, yet don't speak out about the violation of women's bodies legally and socially. It is not their problem, so they will say women should stop restraining those whose actions violate women's sovereignty, while they insist on their own:

Part of the reason we don't see women in the streets marching for their own causes, is that they percieve the patterns around them. The big marches and changes in the sixties and seventies came from a generation of women who believed in the Constitution and since the men around them also did, they supported their rights as individuals. That was the backdrop, that no longer exists, for as America hates all of its leaders and government, it also dismisses the ideals that fostered civil and human rights.

Women see this. They know deep inside that they will be wasting time fighting off all kinds of attacks and while they do that, they still will not be heard. People expect a result for their efforts, and see none. They have been heard by Obama:

But he, and now they, by association, are actively despised, treated as the losers in a Koch driven media game. So they will give up on their own sovereignty in the public realm. They dedicate themselves to whatever the herders tell them to do, to feel accepted and their work matters.

It's not Equality under the law or in society. It's just a life predetermined by biology without any respect to the individual, which is confined to the default true individual, the heterosexual male. Equality is being lost in this country and around the world and is a danger to civil society and any kind of democracy. The struggles of women and minorities should be embraced by those who claim civil liberties are tantamount, but they are not doing that:

Dismissing the rights and concerns of people of color and women is reactionary. It is way more reactionary than Third Way. There is nothing progressive or liberal about it, and I don't consider people who do so to be leftists. Period. ~ BainsBane

She was a determined Leftist who should have been seen as an ally:

But she kept dabbling into a forbidden zone. Just an example of the censorship of women by society, if they insist on going against the grain:

About BainsBane

Epitaph:

She was taken down by two hides for pointing out she found hurtful comments that focus on the failings of victims of domestic violence rather than the violent abusers who break the law. As a survivor of domestic violence, I do indeed find such comments hurtful, yet two juries have insisted I have no right to say so. When it is okay to say "some women will do anything for money," but it is not okay to point out victim blaming hurts people, something is seriously wrong. If community standards truly do sanction victim blaming but do not allow survivors to talk about how they experience those comments, that is not a community that values justice, non-violence, or freedom of speech.

No one will have to be bothered by her again, if she finds a better place. So it was Mission Accomplished. Was it on the level that your OP states?

No, it wasn't really that public. She didn't have a voice in the media. Her words on women did her in as well as supporting Democrats and attacking Libertarians.
