In a thread, it came up that I recalled that during the Cologne New Year's Eve debacle there were few local men on hand to defend the women there. Months later, I was watching live was has happening in Nice in the wake of truck terrorist running down people. People were leaving the scene at the beach and they were nearly all young women. Granted these are only two events, but are women gathering at events that, for one reason or another, exclude men? Or, are the men staying in and not bothering? What I think is going on is that all venues that men would use to meet are being made exercises in futility by women and the women are socializing elsewhere without men.

It may be said that this is the wrong thread for this, but people here are more open to solving what amounts to a riddle.
