What will modern twenty first century women be described, like, in five hundred years?

Empty egg cartons?

Today it’s seen as rather reductive to think of women as baby factories, but given the current fertility trend and its demographic and economic consequences, I wouldn’t trust people 500 years from now to be understanding or forgiving of us today. At least no more understanding or forgiving than we are of people who lived 500 years ago.

It will all depend on how much women will have a hand at researching history and presenting it to the general public. History will probably still be about narratives and perceptions.

You do know that you need both, a fertile man and a woman, to have offspring?

Just in yesterday's news I read a telling stat: +40% of men think that women had gone too far in pursuing equal rights... in my country, a fairly progressive one.

What's there to understand or forgive? This is unacceptable. Patriarchy is dominant culture in most parts of the world, and it utterly sucks, period.
