I dont think they ever can be what traditionalists think women are or were. I believe plato was right when he claimed that true love could only exist among men. Females didnt evolve to love, be compassionate, have loyalty let alone honor. Now, obviously there are neuroatypical women where this might be different and of course we have CRISPR and can geneticly engineer humans.
By now i am convinced that it is highly unethical to have children that are like us. We didnt evolve to have a good time, we just need to reproduce thats all that matters in terms of evolution and thusly we tend to experience more suffering than pleasure.
I wouldnt cry about exticntion of humanity, in fact, i believe it would be a good thing. However, id prefer we be replaced by artificial intelligence or by humans geneticly engineered to cure misery and maybe to unlock statres of being which we thus far could only come close to getting a glimpse at with the use of psychedelics by biological default.
