Okay, so it sounds like there are two somewhat separate issues: one that's primarily about social class, and one that's primarily about gender equality.
The social class one is looking pretty inevitable to me. You are going to have some people with more resources than others, and people with more resources have more power, and people with fewer resources have less power, and in the case of a major infrastructure collapse, there's unlikely to be a lot of protection and support for the people who have less resources and power.
The gender issue seems less inevitable to me, although I'm not sure specifically how to avoid it.
(Why is sexism so universal anyways? But that's probably a question for another forum.)
