Historically societies were built around clear gender roles. These roles did not necessarily arise from oppression but largely from biological and practical realities. Men on average physically stronger and less constrained by childbirth took responsibility for labor protection and provision. Women due to pregnancy nursing and early childcare focused more on the home and family. This division was not perfect but it functioned within the conditions of the time.
As societies industrialized and the modern state expanded economic priorities shifted. Governments became increasingly dependent on taxation to sustain growing institutions. At this point a structural limitation became apparent only around half of the population men were fully integrated into taxable wage labor.
From this perspective feminism can be viewed not only as a moral movement but also as an economic development that aligned with state interests. By encouraging women to enter the workforce the taxable population effectively doubled. More workers meant more income tax higher consumption and greater economic growth benefiting the state directly.
Within this theory traditional gender roles were reframed as restrictive in order to justify this transition. Women gained independence from the household but also became more dependent on wages and state systems. Men lost their exclusive role as providers and society gained efficiency perhaps at the cost of meaning stability and clear identity.
