The answer isn't "women are emotional" and it isn't "social media bad." The answer is that we built global-scale consensus engines and deployed them on a species with sexually dimorphic psychology.

This wouldn't matter if we didn't also consider women equal to men, which began nearly 100 years ago. If women were accurately classed as sex objects needing guidance and protection, we could safely laugh off their silly "consensus" as female nattering. But, because we granted them the right to vote, because we literally bent over backwards to ensure their success in education and employment, because we granted them systemic power that they never earned, they are in positions to tear everything down.

We created an idiot proof society so that women could safely participate and we based decision making off consensus, not competence. Men made themselves redundant; that's why they're "checking out" of society. And, short of going full "Handmaid's Tale" (and don't you kid yourself into thinking women wouldn't love that), allowing society to collapse to the point that competence is once again required is the only way forward for men.

Smart phones/internet culture are just an accelerant for a society that accepted toxic philosophies and was already doomed. We have no choice now but to radically (and violently) restructure, or allow it to collapse, and rebuild without disfunctional ideas like "sex equality" and "one man, one vote".

The hard question is "How could obviously toxic ideologies take hold globally, all at once, when they objectively harm those who adopt them?" Is this even possible without a conscious will behind it? Who would have the motive, the influence, and the global reach to acheive something like this?
