- Women have already crossed the proverbial Rubicon in terms of education. Since the 1990s, there have been more Women than men earning college degrees each year. Women now outnumber men on most college campuses, and since 2010 there are now more total Women than men who possess college degrees in this country.
- Not coincidentally, in a growing number of cities, single women in their twenties and early thirties are out-earning men, in spite of the overall gender wage gap in general. Women are well on their way to becoming the richer gender.
- The number of Women in high-powered careers continues to rise, especially for CEOs.
- Automation, robotics, and artificial intelligence (AI) are predicted to eventually take most if not all jobs from workers by 2060, and a large chunk of which taken by 2030. This is especially true for traditionally "male" jobs, meaning that men will be hit the hardest and soonest by such trends.
- Men, on the other hand, continue to lag behind, and are getting poorer with each generation these days. And as the saying goes, whoever has the gold makes the rules.
- The next economic crash, which will happen sooner or later, will be devastating to men. Consider the previous "mancession" to be the warning shot.
- Patriarchal religions and cults, at least most of them in the West, are imploding at warp speed these days.
- The #MeToo movement, which in part was spurred by a reaction to the abomination that is the current occupant in the White House, may be catalyzing a quantum leap in Women's power and evolution.
- The wonderful Marianne Williamson has announced her run for President of the United States in the 2020 election, a major 180-degree turnaround from her previously almost lifelong aversion to politics.
- And last but not least, we have demographic trends as well. Thanks to Women today living longer as well as having fewer kids than in the past, the population is aging, and soon the Crones (older Women) will have an unprecedented amount of power due to strength in numbers. No wonder so many men, especially conservatives, are scared of "demographic winter".
- Millennial Women will be starting to enter the Crone stage of life from 2030 on, in fact.
- And while there will be a surplus of Women in general relative to men in general, and thus more strength in numbers, there will also be a shortage of younger Women relative to slightly older men by 2030 due to the fairly steep drop in birthrates since the Great Recession began in 2008, thus increasing the dyadic bargaining power of younger Women as well. Such a one-two punch rarely happens, but when it does, it can be quite significant, especially when combined with the above trends as well.
And when Women do finally take over, they will remember how they were treated, so it really behooves us fellas to clean up our act yesterday. This last point absolutely cannot be overstated, for we all know what they say about karma.
Like the song says, it's the final countdown...
