I think maybe you're misunderstanding me. I'm not saying society would grind to a halt forever and ever. Just that there would be a period in time that would be pretty grim. And recovery from the direct effects of losing all the men would be impeded by the effects of that period of adjustment. We wouldn't be starting from the level of progress we have today, we'd be starting several steps behind and it would take us time to catch up.

If all men died tomorrow it would not be possible for women to step into the vacated rolls in less than a month and because of that thing would be pretty hard in most places. Even places where women were able to quickly get a good handle on everything there would be an adjustment in the quality of living at least temporarily.

And all of this speculation is happening without regard to the collateral damage (bodies of the infected, downed flights, car accidents, etc.), the emotional trauma, the inevitable infighting with factions struggling for power.

And, yes, I absolutely agree surprising and dramatic changes would occur on social and personal levels as well.
