However, you may think the power is balanced between the sexes in this society it's undeniable women wield far more cultural influence by a mile and in a consumer based society that equals economic influence. Think about every popular cultural shift in the last 40 years odds are all the material items the clothes, records, etc. were either made for women or men seeking women. The 60s, for instance, did guys really want to live in vans talk about feminism and wear tye dye?
No, they did it because that's what women dug at the time. Why do you think when it was over these "hippies" became brokers? Then came the 70s. Don't get me wrong disco had its gems but dress up like John Travolta and go dancing every weekend?
No guy wanted to do that, and that's why so much cocaine was required then came the 80s. Well, clearly that was an entirely female oriented decade. Skip ahead to now. Think guys want to wear those skin tight jeans? Of course not it's just because women like them. Women, you control where the disposable income goes and that is some real power.
