From the Paper:

"The relations between men and women have changed substantially over the past 1000 years, as have a vast number of other aspects of human society. During this period we have seen the shift from being a primarily agricultural species (with many people still depending on food collection, pastoralism and horticulture) to an industrial species. The human population has expanded dramatically, bringing with it substantial and often catastrophic environmental and now climatic change. We have increased our ability to wage war to genocidal levels. And we have also produced the printing press, vastly expanded educational opportunities for many people, the end to governmentally sanctioned slavery, space travel."
