I think some famous feminist recommended unspecified disappearing of 90% of males to make the world a better place, but right now I can't find the quote.

Either my model is wrong or this story is false. Specifically, I doubt an famous feminist's considered opinion was that the world would be better if a substantial number of people "unspecified disappeared." Cocktail party quips do not count.

It appears your model is false, then. Progress!

(Not that you should switch to a model with even poorer predictive history, i.e. the "feminists just hate men" one.)
