Hey TM, you quoted yourself yet not giving/showing a reason of why.

The Facebook post you references in no longer available :(

IMHO, when you mentioned WIN-95, that's an indication - to me - that
Facebook doesn't keep info that long :|

Western women's success in erasing their gendered fashion limitations can be expressed in 3 words
venerunt viderunt vicerunt. (They came, they saw, they conquered)
And they haven't looked back since.
“And the time came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom.”

It wasn't "Windows 95" that was at fault here; Windows 95 was merely a symptom.

The real problem was the state of consumer electronics at the time not being really capable of the sort of high-resolution imagery we now take for granted. Drum scanners existed that -- using photomultiplier tubes (!), high-quality optics, and precision worms, gears, and cams were capable of 1,000/line per inch resolutions -- but were way outside the price-range affordable to "mere mortals". There was also the cost to store huge images when disks were much smaller and vastly more expensive than they are now; one cannot really compare the times accurately because of the vastness of the differences.

Answering the question of whether "women blurring the gender line" brought about the fall of civilisation as we know it, I'd say, "No". It took more than that. I'd posit that it was contributory to a small degree, but not at the root. Vastly more destructive was the death of the concept of ethics that arose in the 1980s that did it (but with its roots earlier). Once ethics is cast aside, all manner of unwholesome behaviours become normalised.
