Feminism. Literally. For some strange reason, women in religious dictatorships are interested in Science, and women who can get access to the best education in the world are interested in Gender Studies.

However, let's understand that just because women participate, or even graduate, at higher rates than men in these countries, women don't actually find employment that uses their new-found education. Iran banned women from many subjects because of this.

So, in the west, the rise of feminism will be accompanied by a literal no-nothing smugness. The future female leaders of the west simply won't have the education to lead the nation, yet will demand positions of power.

In the east, feminism will continue to be opposed. The women there will acquire exceptional scientific skills, which will be harnessed by the men who run their societies for world-domination. The political context already exists for anti-feminist, anti-westernism. When the west starts to fall, while the east rises, the argument will be made that feminism caused it's fall from dominance.

The final nail in the coffin will come when western nations begin to emulate the successful eastern countries. The entire world order will collapse into a worldwide, patriarchal feudalism.

Combine this with religious extremism and immortality, and the future looks like Dune. We've even started consuming something called "Spice."
