It is worth recalling how, in his work Socialism, Ludwig von Mises explained—in the section regarding Contractual Marriage—that it was actually capitalism that enabled women’s emancipation; the greater financial resources made possible by capital accumulation allowed them to become independent of male domination:

During the Commercial Revolution—roughly from the 10th to the 14th century—medieval Europe experienced a demographic recovery, an improvement in agricultural productivity, a revival of its long-distance trade, and the diffusion of market institutions. In this context, the Hanse were merchants from Lower Germany and the Elbe river basin who found themselves scattered across a vast region around the North and Baltic seas.

Americans are falling into the socialism trap by not realizing that solving big government problems with an even bigger one is dangerous.

The US hit a financial milestone a few days ago; the Federal debt reached $40 trillion.

US GDP is also large, and as long as it grows at least as fast as growth in our national debt, we can finance this debt indefinitely.
