The government will impose ever more draconian penalties for not adhering to the party line. Shaming and social pressure to bail women out will become extreme.

I think social pressure on men to bail out women is actually waning - think of all the famous single older guys in Hollywood and business.

I expect the state will resort to harsher measures, specifically a bachelor tax. It need not be as simple and as stark as single guys pay X% more. It would likely be non-obvious, e.g., deductions for single women and married couples.

It is already coming our way.

Obamacare is essentially a bachelor tax. Obamacare forces health insurance companies to make the rates the same for men and women. In the past men's health insurance was cheaper than women's because men visit the doctor less and have less to cover, aka gyno healthcare.

Now men's health insurance is going to go up to help cover the costs of women's healthcare. If you don't buy health insurance, then the IRS will come after you and the penalties will eventually get very steep.

It will be with things like this. In any way men find and advantage or and outlet from women's oppressive behaviors, the govt. will find a way to regulate or tax it to give the balance to women.

There's too much optimism in this thread. All I know is if things get worse for women, they will get much worse for men. Men always suffer the mal-effects of bad politics first.

- Men are the first ones to die in wars
- Men are the last ones to receive handouts such as food and shelter

Basically any man who isn't self-sufficient will get fucked over hard at some point in America's future.
