I think it's unfair to demand women be like men, for decades, and then blame them when some of them eventually go a bit insane.

Womens' intense need for safety and security is the basis of pairbonding and nestmaking, and it protects them from harm or capture.

Married women are the safest, because their mates tend to be better behaved, they engage in less risky behavior, they live in safer neighborhoods, and they are inconvenient targets for strange criminals. Making women terrified of marriage, in particular, has been a disservice. Feminists decried this as "the devil you know" tactic, but obfuscating where real danger was most likely, left women simply alone and afraid of all men, which sometimes warped their minds.

100%.

I don't have a solution, though. I don't want to restrict young womens' choices of belief or lifestyle.

Platforms without engagement-maximising algorithms should help (although my friend started with paper). Importing emotionally-healthy women from other cultures, too..

But otherwise I think we're just going to have to watch this trainwreck unfold, and trust differential fertility will take its course.

(Sadly, federally-funded universities give the Woke a second chance to reproduce their maladies. Defunding that would help.)

Sorry for the curveball but what if anti woke also turns into a mind virus, then what?! I mean it’s all just memes really.

I struggle to keep of with all the ideas, things, habits and planetary spacecraft described as woke.

Other than that, this is an interesting conversation. Carry on…

If Woke were COVID19, 80s-90s "Christian Conservatism" would be SARS

What is probably needed is a restoration of cultural mores governing interactions between the sexes. Right now there basically aren't any. Chivalry? Respect? Common decency? None of those are a guarantee.

That doesn't require anyone forcing anyone into anything else, but it does require a strong cadre of virtuous role models to set the example (and fashions, to some degree) that everyone else will follow. It's a generational project.
