So how do we live side by side with them if they are obviously not as evolved as women?

Besides the fact that I'm not sure something like that can be meaningfully quantified, my personal strategy has been to focus on getting an education that will permit me to comfortably support myself on one income. I don't plan on marrying a man, because I dislike how so many people/our culture at large begin to assume that he is in charge. I would much rather be alone than be assumed subordinate.

Other than that, I do my best to be cordial and fair to everyone in my life. I try not to make any assumptions about people without cause... however as I mentioned previously, I don't assume that men will behave themselves, and therefore don't make myself vulnerable to them. My ideal outcome in life will be to achieve a level of independence, while still being within society, by remaining unmarried and in charge of my own finances, and I'm hoping that as I achieve that I can meet and network with other women who are the same. I'm hoping me and my friends can be somewhat separate from the "mainstream" without having to live out in the woods alone, lol.

Although, living out in the country on some land also greatly appeals to me. There's a lot of freedom in owning your own land, especially in America - property owner's rights are very robust.

Thank you, this definitely answers it. And I think I'm in agreement with you.

I don't assume that men will behave themselves, and therefore don't make myself vulnerable to them.

This was key for me.
