Let me provide an esoteric theory that females saving the human species may well be true. I have believed for a long time that biological evolution is something that goes on all over the universe all the time. And I always wondered, when any species reaches the level of technology we have, how does it go from being an entity that kills everything to survive, survival of the fittest, to one of cooperation and compassion.

Then one day I realized while the males are biologically engineered to fight and kill, the females do not seem engineered the same way. They are the nurturers.

And today we can see that nurturing being manifested by women in politics. The women were helpless until modern education and realization gave them real power over males. They could protect themselves for the first time in history.

They have only been emancipated and able to reach self actualization for about 50 years, but we saw the first evidence of their "new found self actualization and power" in the 2018 Blue wave where the Democratic women picked up about 37? seats in 2018 and now the Democratic party has 93 women in the house (including territories), almost half the Democrats.

Then go look at how the number of women in congress has grown over the last 100 years. Their numbers have grown exponentially and to me that is an indicator of their new found power and their future impact on the world politic and it will be for the better.

Chairwoman of the Senate Republican Conference). The third woman elected to Congress, Winnifred Huck, was similarly elected to her father's seat.

Yes, based upon obsolete and self-fulfilling biased assumptions.

We now know there is great diversity within the old gender biases. Beyond a pussy + tits vs. a penis, if you will allow me to state the obvious.

And that the stereotypes led to the conclusions we are biased to about nature vs. nurture, or "women" and "men." And that queer was abnormal, for example. Or that trans are sick people who do not understand what God wanted them to be.

Our generation has plenty of biases that are slowly being illuminated.

The idea that women, because they are women, will save us is well-intentioned

but.not.true.
