You make the plot of "The Stepford Wives" sound like a bad thing.
OK, living with women that submissive and brainless would get to be a bore after a while. And, yes, doing that to women would be a crime against humanity. But, in view of the fact that they were previously feminists, you have to have a heart of stone not to see the attraction.
No one who has read Chinua Achebe’s “Things Fall Apart” would fail to recognize this situation:
“Does the white man understand our custom about land?”
“How can he when he does not even speak our tongue? But he says that our customs are bad; and our own brothers who have taken up his religion also say that our customs are bad. How do you think we can fight when our own brothers have turned against us? The white man is very clever. He came quietly and peaceably with his religion. We were amused at his foolishness and allowed him to stay. Now he has won our brothers, and our clan can no longer act like one. He has put a knife on the things that held us together and we have fallen apart.”

I wonder if...very deep down, subconsciously....people are very very very angry. Disillusioned, purposeless, and very very angry.....
Saying a prayer for you.
