      Ironically, historically, that’s a bad plan. Most of the major gains in rights for the lower classes have come due to labour shortages.

      There’s a reason the rich suddenly got a lot more accepting of feminism just after WWII, and it wasn’t an epiphany that women actually deserved those rights.
