Was Rilke right to say, “Modern life will increasingly separate men and women”?

La jeune fille et la femme, dans la nouveauté de leur épanouissement propre, ne s’adonneront que passagèrement à l’imitation des manières et mauvaises manières masculines, et à la répétition des professions masculines.
(Rainer Maria Rilke, Lettres à un jeune poète, 1904)
