What Happens If We'Re Wrong- I

I. They say women don’t need men anymore, that they can have it all on their own, feminism claims it is the future, and that it’s contingent on me to know that everything’s just a social construct, there’s no difference that we cannot change, and they go and destroy any scientist who has the sense and courage to explain that millions of years of evolution imprints on all of our genetic lines, the differences are not just skin deep, they leave a large impact on our minds. Even here amidst the great western world, where there is much legal equality, you would think we’d see a half-and-half, but it doesn’t break that evenly. Women rule in social science and nursing, men dominate construction and war, even with money for the girls in the STEM and endless rants or manhood deplored. And should a woman become the rare one, strong enough to make it into combat, she’ll be in the bottom percentile, unable to match men’s muscle mass. But we’re afraid to point out the difference, though it’s been know for millions of years, we’ve naturals strength bound to our sex, and this now seems a fact to be feared? But what happens to the naïve young woman basing the whole of their future upon a career where nature’s stacked the deck? What will happen if we’ve got it wrong?
