If you think there’s been an observable uptick in the quality of life for the common man in any form then obviously, you’ve never actually seen any place where they women enter the realms of men without already having a strong civilization in place.
Nations that “subjugate” women are neither primitive nor unevolved. They just know that the alternative will completely destroy the fabric of their society.

"primitive" and "unevolved" are very difficult words to even define, as regards societies. they really don't mean much, and should be avoided for that reason.
societies that subjugate women can, however, justifiably be said to be unjust, inequal, and tyrannous. all of which are bad things and should definitely be avoided.
"Nations that “subjugate” women are neither primitive nor unevolved."
No they are both compared to the nations that do not. And even if not compared to those nations that do not, they are still primitive and unevolved.
The realms of men? What, the Gent's toilet? I'd rather not, thank you very much.
Oh yeah! Sweden is so much more primitive and un-evolved than Ethiopia, Uganda or Somalia!
However, you're probably right; with human rights for women too, men can't just sit around all day talking while letting the women do all the work, and they won't be able to force women to fill their private parts with sand to remove that icky lubricated feeling during sex that means the woman might be enjoying it too, plus they won't be allowed to remove (aka kill) any female who doesn't behave the way they want her to. The fabric of their society will indeed be destroyed!
JG, I don't think you know what really subjugating women might lead to. Asshole!
I'm wondering what the first language of the poster might be; it certainly isn't English.
There is no such thing as a "primitive" or "unevolved" nation. The sort of societies JironGhrad might have in mind are societies which run somewhat differently from ours, but they are still complex and have still evolved.
Such societies often seem to involve men sitting around all day drinking beer, coffee or tea - depending on location - while their women work in the fields, the kitchen and the markets. In which case, the destruction of the fabric of such societies might not be such a bad thing. As the Albanian poet AZ Çajupi put it:
Burrat nën hije lozën, kuvendojnë,
Pika që s'u bie, se nga grate rrojnë!
The men meet in the shade and play
May a pox fall on them that live off their women!
Okay, fuck off to Saudi Arabia, then. Take plenty of sun block.
On second thoughts, don't take any sun block. The sooner you are cooked to a crisp, the better.

Partly because I agree and partly simply to piss off and confuse fundies, I'm going to quote Mikhail Bakunin:
"Revolution requires extensive and widespread destruction, a fecund and renovating destruction, since in this way and only this way are new worlds born" - Statism and Anarchy , 1873
So what's the point? Any kind of emancipatory movement - may it be gender, race, sexual orientation or the equality among nations - without knowing it will automatically lead to a loss of identity, will lead to a loss of identity. Because the very thing that makes the identity - the difference - becomes irrelevant, and therefor the identity becomes irrelevant. So, yes, the old fabric is destroyed, purged even, but as human nature has it, we will establish a new identity and, with that, a new fabric - which, depending on your view of history, will either be better or hold the same worth. So: destroy and build something better.
This website is so damn despicable. I can hardly stomach going into it.
Still better than LoveShy.com, though. Everything's better than that.

No, but "backwards hellhole" comes to mind. To follow up on what Swede said, our side gets to keep Sweden.

It should be destroyed.

You say "subjugate" like it's an alleged thing. There are places where a woman cannot go out unaccompanied. Or if she gets raped, she is blamed, and...assuming she survives....is punished. I heard a story of a man who had his wife walking ten step ahead of him at all times, to act as a human landmine detonator.
This isn't subjugation?

Angela Merkel would like a word with you. Germany is the strongest country in Europe.
...or just scared that they'll do to you as they have with $cientology, much? Good.
In Soviet Berlin, God obeys his own Scripture: Romans 13:1-5.
It's funny how these people think that if white, Christian, conservative, straight men are not running everything, then it will "destroy the fabric of their society." I mean, what don't they use that phrase to describe?
Migration figures show otherwise. Come on, can you tell me ONE person who thinks that, forget Africa or southwest Asia, that thinks that Saudi Arabia is a paragon of advant garde technology?. Let me tell you a secret, it's not. They depend more on the West than the other way round.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
