In 1871, if I remember correctly, the Russian village was visited by a famous scientist chemist Aleksandr Nikolaevich Engelgardt. Visited not on their own, was exiled for something there and the addition was designed by Mikhail Evgrafovich Saltykov-Shchedrin to the description of the fate of the village after the liberation from serfdom.
Engelhardt described the village, but not described as a satirist, and as a conscientious researcher, an excerpt from this study, I propose an enlightened public. At the same time can be compared to what we have now…

So everything from the women, carve from the women, the whole rebellion from the women: women now in the village is strong. Yes, as far as I can see, women have developed individualism even more than men, women are more selfish, less capable of – if it’s not common swearing against anyone, less humane, more heartless. Man, especially if he is outside the house, beyond the influence of the women, can still do something together, it is not so considered in the overall work, less selfish, more able to oblige to the General benefit of the courtyard, farm, peace, to live together, and most importantly – a man., divorced swak, not sharpens. Man hopes for your mind, your strength, the ability to work. The woman is not hope nor the mind, neither the power nor the ability to work, the woman puts their hope in their beauty, their femininity, and if she was able to experience its beauty is the end then.
I positively noticed that those villages ruled by women, where the women prevailed over men, are poorer, worse work, not as good work as those where the top kept men. In these Indian villages, men are more idealistic, less fists and more obey the fist-adnumeric that mastered, taken into the hands of women. Similarly, in private backyards, where the women took over the men, no such unanimity in terms of the economy, such Soroti in the work. However it should be noted that if in any village, one or two courtyards, the women took over, it covers all households in the village. But if once women in the village hold the upper hand, and each newly received as a result of her marriage to the village now falls in the overall tone. Surprising in this respect, the selection occurs: where the women hold the upper hand, there is of course the women are well done, not rare will carry osmino rye – strong, healthy, perfect, in the sense of the ability to do everything, workers, excellent of igrice; where men hold the upper hand – there are women shabbier: clogged, ugly, exhausted. Married girl looking at what the village to go: young women’s village, shabbier – is second, because the first women to score. And women too, look who it goes to and comes treated differently…

That’s probably enough for discussion. The text is of course much longer, but NL is a very uncomfortable scheme for the transfer – one letter, so if anyone is interested in the study to better view the link. Generally I would not recommend it – not that bad to read, but hard to break away 🙁
