Well since you're being intentionally obtuse, I'll put it this way. The answer is a hard core patriarchal society where women have no part in governance and serve traditional gender roles, including marriage and motherhood. With men unquestionably leading both the society and the household. And have this enforced by state power.
That's a terrible idea with gender relations as they are now. Women will lash out and men won't want it anyway.
The answer is and always has been artificial wombs, using the gays as an excuse to get them invented without women's interference. Women's influence on society will plummet to zero.
The entire point of that is that it wouldn't matter if they "lash out", because in such a society the sole thing they'd able to do about it is kill themselves.
Hardly a bad thing, particularly given that anyone who did wasn't mother material to begin with.
Artificial wombs are a fantasy(not to mention an ungodly abomination), and fail to address the reality of right now or of the immediate future. Not to mention that the vast majority of men wouldn't adopt your state enforced celibacy.
Women's influence on society is solely based on adherence to non violence. When that rope snaps feminism dies with it.
You mean like all the ideas that involve letting them in your house? They totally won't put rat poison in your food, or set fire to the bedroom while you sleep. Or pour boiling water over you when you're not looking. Nope. They will just accept their new lives, because that's what sociopaths who believe in their superiority do.
No, no it isn't. It's based on how highly they are valued. That's why replacing them is better than trying to fix them. Even in a tradcon society, their wombs are still valued, and I'd assume there'd be some ridiculous marriage requirement.
Okay so the crazy ones might kill somebody. Publicly execute them and make the rest watch.
They're only valued because of adherence to non violence. When they didn't have a choice in the matter, such as when their value to the continuance of the species wasn't ignorantly seen as owned only by them, then any literal value becomes irrelevant. Your assumptions are flatly incorrect.
Gynoids and surrogate mothers would do it.
I'd invent AI application which can feel genuine emotions and give affection and encouragement (for companionship). Bonus points if she can talk dirty and mean it.
Then for kids, heterosexuals guys can get married to form a dual income family, then rent the wombs of some women is South East Asia. There is a thriving industry of surrogacy tourism from Laos, Thailand etc.
Think about it. A dual income household. Friendship and support from your 'husband', the itch for relationships scratched by a string of code that you own. It would work. We can do almost all of that today.
