Could you help me?
Hi,
Could you help me understand the structure of the underlined part in the following text?
I feel that the which-clause is not completed and hanging because there isn't any verb matched to the 'which' in the subordinate clause.
Thank you.
[Text]
Having grown up with successful women such as Margaret Thatcher and Madonna as role models, and with popular culture awash with fantasies of all-powerful women, from Lara Croft to Buffy the Vampire Slayer, men are not so uncomfortable with the woman in control. This value system recognizes the trend of female supremacy, which while not as yet the norm seems to be pointing the way for future relationships.

What does 'while not as yet the norm' mean? Could you give me a whole sentence of it or pharaphrase it?
