That still implies that women weren't subservient before, e.g., technology. There might be instances where women were worse off after some innovation or another but overall I think it's fair to say that technology has been neutral on the issue and, more recently, very liberating. There is no way to seriously argue that the washing machine is a patriarchal tool of oppression, yet it's not a design for social change either, it's just technology being technology.
