I wasn't commenting on the conclusions, only the source of the analogy.
Well if your conclusion is that the pendulum could swing too far, my question would be, "Without actually letting go to find out, how do you know it's a pendulum at all?" A movie isn't going to give us the answer.
Sure things could go radically far and we end up in a matriarchal society, but not even trying to provide equal rights isn't going to prevent radical change. It will force the hand of radical change, if history tells us anything.
It's not my conclusion, I didn't even read the original comment well enough to remember what they were arguing for. But I think I agree with you here.
Good old internet arguments. Glad we landed on an agreeable point. 👍
Yup haha
