All freedoms of both men and women need restraint from hurting others.
Emancipation of women is reshaping human society. It has some undiscussed effects.
A job used to be a duty a man had to perform in order to raise a family but it has now become a privilege that allows you to get out of the house and meet interesting people. As a bonus it pays you some money.
One consequence is that remuneration has adjusted such that two incomes are now needed to raise a family. Where once a man had a noble duty to feed his family and the man’s income sufficed to fulfill that duty, the man is now unable to fulfill that duty - indeed he no longer even has such a duty.
It is now also the case that no occupations are closed to women. There is nothing that men do which women cannot do. (The reverse obviously does not apply.) So what does it mean to be a man? It varies from society to society. It used to mean whatever tasks men did and women didn't. The only definition of "male" that applies in all societies is “not female” but if women can do everything, this no longer has any content.
So men are now superfluous. It follows they should be phased out. This would not only free everyone up to be female and useful but would also eliminate practically all the world’s social ills of crime, violence, drunkenness, predatory priests, etc, etc.
