In the new atmospheres, they will feel safer about expressing their opinions. And, feeling free to be themselves will make them more powerful. Instead of straining to stick to the language of men and business, a woman's natural way of communicating will suddenly have advantages. As baby-bearers, women understand flowing with what life brings quite intimately. They also tend to have more respect for life and fewer aggressive urges to dominate nature.
Women tend to keep communicating until they figure out other solutions to problems.
For these reasons and more, the female sex is due to be viewed in a progressively favorable light. Societies that increasingly value women, their ideas and input, will gradually and subtly cause men to feel less valuable. Lowered male self-esteem makes it easier to train them to stifle themselves, to be less active for their own good. In this way, men gradually lose power and become the second sex. Because this switch will be happening in a mature soul world, society will probably not experiment with the rougher, young soul control methods - like refusing them rights to property or inheritance or burning feisty men as heretical troublemakers.
