These days, I know several women who can easily check some if not most of those boxes, and aren't all legbeard types.

In today's society, it seems like almost anything goes!
Except being a straight white Christian. (* SMIRK *)

It’s even worse for you if you are a straight, white older male. For some reason there is both ageism and genderism.

Bottom line: It's do what they want or you're a goner!!!
No choice... you must follow them or they will destroy you!
And sadly, that is the honest truth!

Sure seems that way.
Some day, because almost nothing of the modern era is written down or carved in stone or painted on cave walls, future archaeologists will see this era as an opaque mystery, where there was once a teeming population with vast cities and apparently goods moved vast distances so that even the poor had access to items sourced from thousands of miles from point of production. And no one will really understand why they collapsed and what started the wars that turned most of that era into radioactive ash.

And in 100 or maybe 1000 years, this era will be recorded as the black hole that occurred on Earth!

It will be more mysterious than the Dark Ages, because nearly everything will have vanished with the failing digital media that has no paper backups at all. Maybe there will be a global ban on "thinking machines", like most of the worlds in the Dune universe, because of how much knowledge and history was totally lost and how much of the economy fell apart on one side of the world from events ten thousand miles away across a vast ocean.
