The two-gender patriarchy model came about because of nature. Men created and ran Western Society because men were naturally better at being industrious, learned, and inventive rather than caring and nurturing (largely due to testosterone) and that beat out other societies, some more womanly, in the real world.
Western Society is so highly tuned to certain traits that many African men can't fit in even from just being a bit more impulsive/aggressive (destructive levels of violence in all countries) and Asian invention stagnated it seems from too little (they didn't obsess over being the best).
From that perspective where even some men don't have what is required for the most highly productive society, it's certainly madness to think people even farther away in traits could. So this idea that women can be firefighters and such ridiculously unnatural ideas could lead to a stable society, but it won't be Western and will be outcompeted by pretty much any other society.
Maybe at this level of technology a stagnating, caring society is what's needed to get past a great filter, but I'm pretty sure when we meet aliens it'd be better to reverse engineer their technology than give them hugs.
This is an interesting theory.
I suppose Japan being a tech innovator and China being a manufacturing powerhouse are relatively young post WW2 narratives.
China colloquially has been assigned credit for many inventions such as silk, gunpowder and ?spaghetti, but from a colonial standpoint, their pre-WW2 accomplishments are rather unimpressivel
Maybe I should say they didn't have to foolishness to waste their time trying to out-do the best. There's lots of times in history an Asian guy invented something, spent his life making it the best he could, but then people later just copied the master instead of besting him.
A lot of times new things happened because somebody had the audacity or today they'd say toxic personality to believe they were the best and go out and do great things.
Like I'd say Trump is an example of that, not in a technical way but it's the same mindset of I'm the best I'm going to do it even though they say it's impossible. Not always the best trait, but it's the engine of Western civilization.
