The main problem of most developed societies is horribly low fertility rates. Lot of women pick very long education path and then career thinking about having children only in their mid 30s… When their fertility is mostly gone.
I think education system for women should be tailored towards different things than men. Teenage girls should have better knowledge of psychology (especially child psychology) health, childcare ect. so they are well prepared to build strong stable relationships and start families when they’re actually fertile. I’m not talking here about giving up on career of course, it’s a personal choice, but I wish the education was complementary for both genders (so couples benefit from different specializations of each other) rather than uniform.
If women have a power that men don’t have, and it’s the key to solving society’s problems, would they not leverage that power to gain a survival advantage so their offspring are the ones leading the way? They would spend time getting educated and starting businesses before having children. They would become more selective of who they choose as mating partners. <- we are here.
By essentializing women as baby-makers, men have created a power differential against themselves! They have become scared and depressed and would rather goon to clavicular videos than provide women with what’s needed to start families. Women have accepted the responsibility, and you’re noticing the upheaval this shift in roles creates.
Men are collectively disempowered because none of them are thinking about what they should be doing in life. They sit around talking about what women should be studying. Men should be studying women.
