In an automated world, we simply don't need 100% employment at 40 hrs per week. Economists predicted this a century ago, but its still not recognized because no one knows what they're looking at, because fiat incentives force us to work or die. Employers don't need us, so of course they choose nice subservient women instead of men.

We won't need this many people, and only fiat systems can sustain populations of this size without some greater reform.
I speculated without a welfare state a decent chunk of the population would cease to exist, because they cannot function on their own two feet.
Without welfare and without fiat, they'd learn and life would be okay for them
