We are already over carrying capacity. I just don't see the First
World elites cutting consumption so Third World women can have
"greater control over their lives".
Still, as our life-support systems continue to disintegrate, pressures
to do SOMETHING will continue to build. Technologies of mass
destruction will continue to proliferate, and as resource wars break
out around the globe, ambitious men will be willing to use them.
IMHO, at some point in the future, the First World elites will have
no choice but to act first. In order to protect themselves, they will
have to depopulate the Third World with a genetically engineered
bioweapon. It's just a matter of time until "first strike" becomes
their only option. (A bioweapon -- unlike a rocket -- leaves no
radar track.)
