It's the blending of biology, transportation services, a global economy, and other factors. The horse has left the barn. Closing the door won't change a thing. IMO, what we are witnessing is the death throes of a patriarchal culture. A culture that values dominance over equality, aggression over cooperation, and individuality over community. Where the masculine is exalted and the feminine is enslaved. It's death is imminent and they know it. They are fearful because they know the game is changing and they won't be the winners.
