The society has power and control over technology, and thus no matter how good the technology and idealist reforms are, the norm will reign supreme in such instances. For instance, the two third gender rule that has been proposed over the past few years has never been fully tabled and implemented, mostly, due to the fact that it is not fully understood and more so goes contrary to the already established norm that is societal and religious.
The social processes determine technology for social purposes and with the status quo in place pitting men and women against each other when it comes to the struggle for resources and the recognition as one gender being superior to or equal to the other. With the set rules of how viewing each gender still guiding the societies, the technology that follows suit will not fall far from the tree and the same route shall be followed.
In the foreseeable future however, technology, which in relation to the gender question can be seen as female, may carry enough weight as culture itself and maybe the path taken then might be different but before that, we still are left with an undesirable truth that with social determinism reigning supreme, the thought of gender equity is impossible if not improbable.
