Women are reliant on the function of civilization to prosper, they don't do well when civilization breaks down, and they care for the welfare of their children.
Men tend to be more short-term focused, many think they'll do better in a collapse scenario (it's a very common male fantasy, many preppers believe having a gun and food when civilization ends will make them the hero), and also assume the best thing they can do for their kids is to leave them money, even at the cost of the overall society.
I love the implication that men do well when civilization breaks down, as if we were somehow immune to hunger, disease and violence.
Go to /c/collapse, it's a bunch of preppers trying to pretend that they're not excited for the collapse of society.

So we have the politicians such as Rishi Sunak that are promoting policies that increase the probability of an ecological collapse, & then on the other extreme the preppers that are, well, at least preparing for a climate crisis.
It's a stretch to think how things turned out so friggin crazy? 🤔 🤑 🤥
