I fear that the fear by China or even US billionaires like Musk of the population collapse will lead to genetic engineering of women, in the following way:
1) Remember your high school friend who was very gullible and agreeable? Now think of a survey screening for the top 1% gullible women who almost always believe everything they are told and do so.
2) Remember your hometown friend who was very warm and caring for kids and wanted many kids herself? Now think of the top 1% screened most caring and Child-loving women.
3) Remember the girl you know who got pregnant so easily while others around her struggled? Now think of the top 1% screened who get most easily pregnant.
4) Think of the submissive girls who always try to fix their abusive men and never leave them.... You get the idea.
I fear the next several years will enable a strongly funded (state or billionare) and motivated ethics-free lab, to design and genetically engineer a woman with these traits over long term (a two decade project). It won't be a horror movie where her will has to be broken. It will be in her nature to be extremely agreeable, loving and tender. She will want to stay at home. She will want to have lots of kids. She will be the ideal submissive wife to abusive incels, and a valuable product for her nation. Once such women are designed and one generation is IVF'ed (or worse, inserted via airborne virus) into the world, these children (the women, at least) will mature and be considered a lifeline to the countries with an economic crisis. Maybe a status symbol.
It will be an ethical disaster, but as more and more independent strong women choose not to have kids, the "designer women" would replace them. An evolution of a designed sort to overcome contraceptives. .
