Once most of the population is in cities, you can no longer control the behavior of women through physical and psychological intimidation, although some criminals attempt to continue this control. Once women are making their own decisions, a society dependent upon the unpaid domestic servitude of women will start to come apart.
Both child care and elder care will become problems. Most people will start to have nutritional problems due the lack of an unpaid cook. Men will get extremely angry as they no longer have an unpaid servant.
Often countries attempt to solve these issues by reading Machiavelli or the Art of War. These philosophies only make the problem worse. Turning men into soldiers means that the men will just leave the farms faster. Soldiers do not learn to feed themselves. Somehow we have to teach that all people MUST learn to cook, clean, and care for those in the family who can not care for themselves.
I am uncertain of what else to advise. The methods of controlling women vary from culture to culture. But these methods only work if the women agree to accept them.
Women are amazingly willing to accept things like high heels and short skirts, which make them crippled and unprofessional.
I do not think there are any easy answers to the changes that the entire world is undergoing.
One thing is true. It is almost impossible to take back civil rights once someone has been granted civil rights.
