>We live in a increasingly feminized society.
This comes and goes in waves. Historically during wars women tend to dominate a country's laws and politics because that's who's left behind.
If you watch Ken Burn's documentary Prohibition you'll see a much more heavily feminized society in the United States during the time leading up to and during World War I. Likewise the Vietnam War coincides with the Women's Rights movement of the 1960s-1970s. Neither of these wars required any sacrifice on the part of the citizenry, leaving women free to push through poorly thought out agendas.
Feminine control of society is a mixed bag. Frances Willard genuinely helped the poor, built orphanages, hospitals. But she also took over the public school system and forced them to teach lurid junk science to support her political causes (link to page with video). Whole generations of children in the US were indoctrinated with her bullshit propaganda, and never questioned it once after they grew up. After all, it was taught in school, it must be right.
When will this end? If we follow previous patterns, when the US recalls its troops back home and they enter back into the domestic political discussion.

"Alpha children wear grey. They work much harder than we do, because they're so frightfully clever. I'm awfully glad I'm a Beta, because I don't work so hard. And then we are much better than the Gammas and Deltas. Gammas are stupid. They all wear green, and Delta children wear khaki. Oh no, I don't want to play with Delta children. And Epsilons are still worse. They're too stupid to be able to read or write. Besides they wear black, which is such a beastly color. I'm so glad I'm a Beta."
--Aldous Huxley, Brave New World
