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.
