Absolutely not; I would almost certainly be taken advantage of at one point or another! If I were a survivor, I’d probably hide or never leave my brother’s or father’s side.
Well, you might be a sort of queen, worshiped as a kind of Earth Mother goddess for your rarity.
Or, you might be a queen ant where you job is to be constantly pregnant.
Either way you'd get to be a queen. It's just that one type would be more flattering than the other.
Read a bunch of fortune cookies for some spooky/mystical sayings. Keep some type of kit for doing magic tricks in an underground bunker. Just wait for an eclipse to emerge from the underground so you can convince everyone you're a witch, and then you're gold.
Another thing, who the hell would be up to date if they just saw 90% of their male friends die? I have friends who have crippling PTSD because they saw one friend die, can you imagine that with almost the whole gender dying?
I really wouldn't want either scenario for this reason. If 90% of the men died, I would most likely lose my brother, uncles, nephews, friends, and my boyfriend. If 90% of the women died, I would lose my mother, friends, nieces, etc. In both scenarios, I wouldn't be looking to date--not for a long time, if ever.

This! Time and time again in history when there is an overabundance of men, there tends to be more societal problems. Look at the old American West, what happens to women when an invading army floods the area, or even just the current problems arising in China, etc. There are problems when there are too many women too to be sure, look at a lot of post war places. If it were 90% men, I would find someplace to hide from society and disguise myself as a guy as best I could.
Ideally I don’t want anyone to die off. It wasn't an option, but if I “had” to choose, as a woman, I rather be a surviving woman and there just be 10% of men. I pretty much already said to myself if anything happens between me and my boyfriend or to boyfriend, I am "done." So with 90% women, I could go my way, live my life, and never have to worry about things that I would have to worry about under a 90% male world (rape, being a broodmare, not risking the life of a man I love, etc). It would be a much more peaceful, comfortable, and less stressful existence.
I expect 90-95% decrease in both sexes over centuries, by population decrease. The remaining population will adapt to circumstance. Monasticism may rise, a sex imbalance by choice.
Women have taken millennia to achieve more-or-less equal status over significant part of the globe, and that's with about equal numbers. If we were outnumbered by that extent we'd be slaves.
That said, not to be corny but I still voted "live" because where there's life there's a chance.
It is XXX but there is a movie titled "Cafe Flesh".
A cool movie where post-nuclear holocaust there are only sex-positives and sex-negatives left.
The sex-positive people were forced to have sex on the cafe's stage area for the entertainment of all the sex-negatives, whose faces were showing the results of radiation. Yayyyy!
EDITED TO ADD: Yes, the movie has graphic XXX sex in it so here's my warning to anyone that wants to know.

If I had a choice of surviving or allowing someone else to survive, I would opt to keep someone younger. If I could chose I would allow my sons to survive instead of me.
I have lived in a house dominated by women in the majority. While it is not unpleasant, it can be difficult, it might get exhausting after a while. You would never be able to find anything. Everywhere you went stuff would be moved around over and over until no one knows where anything is.
My son attends a university with 70% women/29% men (1% other). He likes it quite a lot.
I found this one a little hard to ponder. When I thought about being one of the very few women in a world of men vs a world of almost just women, I had no hesitation. I know I couldn't live with just women! Didn't even like working in a big office of just women.

Were as I don't like being around other men. I get nothing out of it, I've always felt male bonding was over rated, bonding with a female is sooooooo much better.

The life of women would be horrible if the world were composed of mostly men. It is difficult enough now. They would be nothing but property held by the most powerful men. They would prisoners and slaves and commodities. It just doesn’t bear thinking about.
