[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think the interesting unintended consequence will be the explosion of women in selective colleges. Right now, women make up 60% of colleges students. It’s not exactly a shock that women also need better credential to get into non-engineering programs at selective colleges.

It will be interesting to watch UVA Arts & Sciences, WM, IVpvys  etc become gender blind in admissions and hit 70% women. Because race, national origin, gender and religion are the big protected classes. It’s hard to imagine prohibiting consideration of race but allowing gender consideration.

It’s interesting to watch as women become more educated than men and less dependent on them.  There is a society wide shift underway that is creating the Incels and MAGAs, who are pushing to legally restrict women. This decision will make womens power and mens resentment explode. [/quote]

It will be interesting to watch all these college educated women start crying they can’t find a husband. Don’t expect men to GAF though.[/quote]

If women don’t need men for economic support and can have children without a romantic partner, why are they crying?  I’m stressed they can find a friend with benefits.  In many ways, woman’s lives are easier if they have a partner who isn’t helping with childcare and running the house. He’s just dead weight you have to add to your task list. Or you are divorced and having to navigate joint custody with a ex.

This demographic shift is already well underway. Platonic parenting is becoming increasingly popular.

Or, women can get a fulfilling job, buy a small house and make it their own, have a supportive social circle and hire a maintenance guy.  Or learn to DIY.

My SILis mid 40s and single with a high powered job. She waited for Prince Charming.  Then looked into single parenthood. Then settled into being my kids third parent. She is their favorite person in the world. As they have gotten older they have at times spent a month or more with her, volunteering or doing online summer school while SIL worked. She and I travel, she travels with friends, and she took each of my kids on a big graduation trip. As long as DH or I or our kids are alive, she will always have family— for holidays, for emergencies, for “I just want to see you”.

The demographic shift is here and women aren’t crying. They are just building lives without men. [/quote]
