What's interesting is how Slavic countries interact with ‘feminism’, which is completely different than in the anglosphere....
...progress is not feminism but a move towards post-feminism, i.e. a return to being feminine. This can be observed widely in slavic culture: like in how women dress, behave, (feminine) etc, the popularity of things like ballet in slavic countries for kids, etc,
Slavic societies see western feminism as backwards, it is associated with economic collapse of the USSR.
So basically in slavic countries feminism is not associated with economic progress, and is often seen as extremely negative and regressive. (Back to communism)...
...What anglosphere women don’t realize is that Slavic country women were just like them 20-60 years ago, but they have actually chosen to move past it.
By contrast, slavic women see the phenomena of western men coming to their country to look for wives/gaming precisely as evidence of the failure of feminism in the west. They see western women as them 30 years ago in the USSR, the future bitter babushka (fat, old, ugly bitter alone women). basically they see all the anglosphere men coming to their country to meet women as an indication that anglosphere women are undesirable. They basically see anglosphere women as backwards, and many of the failures of feminism from communist times are being repeated in the west.
This is why I think Post-USSR socities will NEVER move towards feminism. It is not viewed as progress there.
So according to this analysis, maybe there is hope for a New Society emerging in the West... decades down the road... Beyond The Thunderdome... post-Tina Turner...
