There's a bizarrely implied bias here in your statement that I've pointed out in past which is "we don't know so things are probably fine". You are reading in a bias I don't have. My position is closer to that Men in Black line about "There's always an Arquillian Battle Cruiser, or a Korilian Death Ray, or an intergalactic plague that is about to wipe out all life on this miserable planet." Though I don't agree with the rest of it that "The only way these people can get on with their happy lives is that they do not know about it!" The society that is collapsing is a society with a long track record of oppressing various groups, including women. I happen to have been born with girl bits so I view that as not entirely a bad thing and, in fact, a potential opportunity for my life to maybe suck less in the future than it has for the past 56 years. Edit: and have an upvote. I'm always happy to engage in good discussion.
