Isn't this part of how Rome fell? They had there own version of an anything-goes-society and debauchery became the norm until their entire civilization was destroyed.

As soon as women get a say in politics, it all goes to shit.

An increase in the influence of women in public life has often been associated with national decline. The later Romans complained that, although Rome ruled the world, women ruled Rome. In the tenth century, a similar tendency was observable in the Arab Empire . . .

Soon after this period, government and public order collapsed, and foreign invaders overran the country. The resulting increase in confusion and violence made it unsafe for women to move unescorted in the streets, with the result that this feminist movement collapsed.
