The Rise of the Single Woke (and Young, Democratic) Female - www.aei.org/.../
“The key driver of these attitudes may be universities, where feminist ideology often holds powerful sway. Women now predominate on college campuses. In the late 1960s they were about 39% of college graduates; now they are about 59%. The percentage of full-time female professors has risen dramatically; at the full professor level the percentage has grown by roughly one-third.
Women now earn more than half of advanced degrees, not only in education but health and medical sciences, and are making great strides in engineering and law. With this growth, a feminist agenda has become increasingly de rigueur in colleges. According to the National Center for Education Statistics, the number of women’s and gender studies degrees in the United States has increased by more than 300% since 1990, and in 2015, there were more than 2,000 degrees conferred. There are widespread movements to establish women’s centers almost everywhere, even as men are abandoning college and university life in record numbers, and those who remain are hit with messaging about behavior and status from diversity, equity, and inclusion offices along with various student life offices that regularly call them toxic, aggressive, and born misogynists.”

I fear the feminist agenda is going to take over our society even more than it already has. There are going to be less and less traditional families and more single women and men which is unfortunate because it means there will be an even further decline in the birth rate.
I think that having a different opinion than the one that has been prevalent throughout US history is probably a good one. Not saying it's all been bad but there definitely was black spots in our history with how people were and are still treated. This is has been primarily due to being a patriarchal society.
Now I'm not advocating for a matriarchal society by any means. I'd like something closer to even, but I do think what's going to happen is a stronger push by the young, liberal woman to be heard especially with her vote. Then this will be followed by an overcorrection the other way until we find a middle ground.
Perhaps the modern 'strong woman' feels all the laborious, heavy and dirty jobs should be relegated to the male of the species while the clean 9-3 office type jobs be fully female. That sound fair right. I mean a woman can't do most of the manly jobs but they are equal. Plus, they have nails and soft skin to maintain. By then for one another I guess. WOW. UTOPIA for some.
