Plato's "ship of state" metaphor was actually written as a dig on democracy. In it, he likens democracy to a mob of half-drunk sailors who, after having mutinied, are now fighting over the tiller, wrenching it out of each others hands continually, despite none of them having any training in navigation.

As much as I am loathe to admit it, Plato may have a point.

With re. to that last question -- "what do women give up for the sake of parity?" -- the answer in a sane world is sexual autonomy. See "The Garbage Generation" linked to at the bottom of this page: https://www.fisheaters.com/garbagegeneration.html
