Women have gotten dramatically more powerful within the US culture in the past 30-40 years. Versus men they're more highly educated, they have higher literacy rates, they drop out of school at lower rates, they live longer, and under the age of roughly 40 they now out-earn men while working fewer hours (and that will continue to spread upwards into the older age bracket; aging-out older male corporate management types and other white collar professionals (eg doctors, dentists) are the only thing holding that in place for now). I'd expect the present trend to continue for at least another 10-20 years, with a large gap being created between the well-being of the median & average man and woman in the US (in the favor of women). The potent education, employment and income trends alone practically guarantee that outcome. Not much is being done to correct the growing imbalance, so by the time there is enough widespread cultural give-a-shit at a large scale, the gap will be substantial and it'll take a long time to correct (if it can be corrected for given the labor automation employment dynamics that are inbound). The trend will make competent men that have something going for them, that much more valuable. As more men fall behind, men that don't gain value by scarcity.
