i can see two ways the masses will react to this. > populations retreat into balkanized ethno-religious zones to maintain their own populations, traditions, and preferred systems of ethics/morality as an attempt to avoid the scourge of modernity. or for those who will not return to their own traditions and will not make their own rules > embrace the gender war as the pivotal fault line. seek to outsource sexual functions historically provided by the other. governments already act as substitute husbands for women. new technologies will potentially fill the void for lonely men. as for those who adopt neither approaches, discontent will simmer among those marginalized by instinctual preferences, but rather than sparking meaningful change, this unrest will spiral into more despair. cultural backlash will not dismantle the superficial beauty standards that bind us; instead, it will reinforce the underlying biases that have existed since time immemorial.
