Well, there are civilizations were women *do live* under the thumb of
their men and in general are not well educated. Taking into account
what could be called society-level natural selection, those societies
that breed most will probably be the ones that will take over the
Solar System. They are already taking over places on Earth were people
"reproduce" by immigration, like Europe.

I am sorry if my statement is too blunt, but I think it is the reality.
