I love the way futurists seem to have the skill to massively overestimate some things, while completely missing the most major points of what does happen.
Who's coming round for Christmas strawberry? ;D

There is no prediction of the role of women in society, of voting or holding high office.

Those are so accurate I am tempted to call BS. And the ones that are off are so in such a comical way they seem done quite recently.

The BBC link seems to think it is 1900/2000 and the original link has it as 1911/2011. Not very reassuring.

Maybe, but the fact that they don't seem to have a single *actual* date it was written is a possible sign of it being much more recent.
