Monoculture kept gender relations stable

[Changmentum]

This is complete speculative and not based on empirical evidence, but @Beastimmung's thread got me thinking about something. In the 1960s in America, there we only a few TV stations/magazines that you could entertain yourself with. Essentially, this made America a monoculture. Everyone in the town (both female and male), would talk about the same types of things, such as the New York Yankees, The Beach Boys, etc. This made men and women less culturally divided, and thus fostered more empathy between the genders as compared with the modern age. Eventually, with the rise of the internet, everyday individuals (and not the elite), could create their own culture/trends, which lead to the formation of certain echo chambers, which catered towards a specific gender. This is of course because of our biological proclivity to certain things, men enjoying domination, competition (so they're more into sports, entrepreneurship, etc.), while women enjoying things related to beauty and aesthetics (making them more interested in fashion, art, etc.) Because we can relate more with our own gender, and the formation of these subcultures (catering towards a specific gender), each gender was inevitably going to isolate themselves in certain cultures/communities they related to more. My hypothesis is that, 1) men and women having less communication with each other, thus seeking less time to understand each other, and 2) the narratives pushed by these echo chambers were divisive in nature, leading towards more resentment against the other gender. Thus, this lead to the problems that we see today between men and women.

so one big echo chamber just split into multiple smaller ones

Yeah, I'm not anti-capitalist, but this is a flaw of capitalism that Libertarians fail to see. Weirdly, I am pretty economically right-wing, but rational.
