I understand the impulse here, and even respect the motivation, but "we all play by economic rules set by men" in a world where Marilyn Waring was an MP in 1975

I understand the impulse here, and even respect the motivation, but "we all play by economic rules set by men" in a world where Marilyn Waring was an MP in 1975 seems... self-contradictory? We all play by economic rules set by others is certainly true, and those others are mostly men historically, but clearly there have been some women involved for at least the last 47 years, no?
If it's narrowly focused on the United Nations System of National Accounts, I'd question how much impact or influence that organization has around the world.
Overall, I'm very open to talking about "Who Cooked Adam Smith's Dinner," as the book[0] asks. I'm just not sure that as a feminist critique, this framing is a solid one.
