I don't know how to say this in a way that people will believe, but unless the patriarchy is dismantled in the next 25 years, the US will cease to exist because women will have simple withdrawn from the social process. Why continue to create new people to throw into the financial/social/political woodchipper that is the US when opting out of it will eventually cause it to end in demographic collapse? If you want to save it, make it worth saving.
