I am in agreement with you. And it is my belief that the history of where we are now can be traced back for hundreds of years. I have discussions with the few friends/colleagues I have left who stand firm with our duty to DO NO HARM. There is quite a world history of mass psychological control. Even of the most educated & intelligent humans. And now Israel is at war.

There is also a world history of sexual harrassment mainly by males, mainly targeting females, and ranging from low-level events such as being stared at or commented on in a sexual way, through groping and upskirting, to assault and rape.

A serious assault may never come to light, since the victim is made to feel ashamed or is bullied into silence; even minor sexual hassles, repeated almost daily, and combined with the unpleasantness of puberty itself, must give many young teenagers a strong unspoken motive to escape from their femaleness; and now, gender ideology and the internet appear to offer the means to do just that.

So many different factors coming together to make up this awful situation!
