I think this is a good take. PPF is needed and I'm eternally grateful for it. At the sams time, I can't help but think there's only so many times I can call men out and point out the ugly truth before I start going "okay now what?"

Because I get it. And after a certain threshold there isn't much else to analyze about men and their shittastic crumbling system. "Man rapes", "man shoots family", "man fucks cheeseburger", "man complains about wife not giving him enough sex".......... etc. It's just not surprising anymore. Kinda existential of me to say this but there must be more to life. And yet reality keeps reminding me there isn't much more, that this is it. I feel stuck.

These are my personal feelings that it seems I'm alone on, because not many others here share them. Not gonna lie, that actually makes me feel a bit worse but likely I will come out of this in a few days.

Maybe I need to put my energy into creating something, or into forward movement, into change. Maybe this is what I'm realizing right now.

(I have a lot of feelings that I need to sort through and this thread + most of your replies have helped me with that so thank you)

You are not alone. I'm right there with you. I think we might be about the same age and followed a similar trajectory. It can take younger women a while to come around but there are more and more of us every day, both online and in real life. I met a 36 year old the other day who is just about there. It's not as uncommon as you think.
