In 2008, something I came up with was the concept where when you get rid of rules long after everyone who set them up are gone, people don't know why the rules exist, so when the rules are removed they just assume the rules were bad and they get massive short-term benefits, but soon they discover why the rules were there in the first place.
I think we're seeing why a lot of the rules between men and women existed. We got rid of the rules, but it turns out they existed for good reasons, to help ensure a level of trust between the sexes and to try to reduce behaviors that reduce trust and faith between sexes.
We were already starting to see it back then (when I happened to be dating), but it's gotten worse since then. Internet dating really didn't help things, reducing people to photos and bullet points.
