And you know that because?...
Hysterics? The "current situation" as you put it, is that PEOPLE are scavenging in the garbage for sustinance. You chose to select the woman the story was written about, and ignored the fact that MEN are also scavenging for sustenance.
Seems to me, you have a one-track mind: it was written about a specific woman; therefore ALL women can be put into her category.
I am SO sad you are not my neighbor! I would educate your wife in the ways of Defiant Womanhood, and your pathetic attempt to seem "macho" would be yesterday's news. *gag*
Yes, I do concede that women tend to have an easier time of it. It's one of the difficulties of being a guy.
We're only seeing the beginnings, though. If things get much worse, then things will change in the following ways:
(1) The jobs that HAVE to be done (keeping infrastructure operating, driving the trucks that bring food and goods to market, providing security, keeping cars and other things in repair) are disproportionately held by guys. The jobs that women predominate in (except for life-essential jobs like nursing) can be cut back if things go really south.
(2) Jobs like cashier will become more dangerous as robberies and flash mobs increase. Women currently holding those jobs will be laid off in favor of people who are willing and able to use force to maintain the viability of the source of their pay.
(3) The streets will become increasingly dangerous for women.
