As far as feminism, it is just a shit test; part of the evolutionary arms race that started 3.5 billion years ago when reproductive strategy was first introduced into life forms.
This gives me a thought, maybe shit testing increases in magnitude relative to how safe males are in the society. Think about it, everyone keeps referencing Don Draper as a golden age of masculinity, but figure this is coming after World War II and Korea, both of which had drafts. Going back further you have thousands and thousands of years of constant warfare until you get back to paleolithic tribal pointed stick fights.
Perhaps women don't shit test as hard when a substantial proportion of the male population is biting it at a young age, owing to supply and demand. Obesity skews it even further by disproportionately (heh) affecting females.
