The only women they want to see with power are far right out of control nuts like Sarah Palin and Marjorie Taylor-Green. Reasonable people need not apply.
Maybe that would convince them that human based climate change is real. Maybe not. Either way they would no longer be around to keep fucking things up. Bonus points: include all the Slashdot Pundits who are using this post to say climate change isn't real. They deserve the ride too.
Reddit is renowned as a pit of the worst trolls, racists, fascists, misogynists, etc. second only to 4chan.
Now breed them together and guess what emerges. The enshittification of the Internet is a GO!!

Eve was the first slut and every woman thereafter is just as evil. This thinking is built into the system. It's consistent with not allowing women priests, which is true for the majority of christian sects.
So now that the Supreme Court has taken away body autonomy from women, how long will it take for Alabama to remove the rest of their civil rights and make the chattel property?
Now a well funded gang of tech-bro types pillage copywrited work and somehow it's OK. There is one law for the peasants and another for the powerful and connected. This is just one more example of how you have no rights to anything (like your browsing history) and the rich can steal form damn near anyone.
The three primary sponsors ar all in the Bay Area Caucus, i.e. Silicon Valley. One represents Menlo Park. They are doing this so that when they knock on the doors on the doors of moneybags types in their districts they have a talking point. It's low hanging fruit. If they were in agricultural areas it would be about farming/agribusiness, say in rural California. If it was the South it would be about putting Jesus in the classroom. (BTW, this is one of the next targets of Republicans, the end of church/state separation.)
It's all about how legislation is for sale to the highest bidder. When push comes shove, your vote can be negated by special interests who write big checks.
In the current budget crunch in California this is going nowhere, but it shows how things really work.
They don't pay anywhere near reasonable taxes, they steal from those who work for them when they don't outsource to the even more corrupt, and they are never held accountable even if people die for profit. Every corporation large enough to be listed on the NYSE has made money off of killing someone no matter what business they're in. Often times they don't do it themselves, but they are reaping profits directly from death and destruction.
They scream about what a great job they do while they bribe the government and hire armies of lawyers to hide what they do and how they do it. And it's getting worse. The Supreme Court is about to gut regulation and render agencies like the EPA and OHSA out of business so they don't even have to pretend that maiming or killing workers is wrong. Child labor in dangerous conditions is on the rise at the same time the federal budget for enforcement is being cut by 30%.
The morons who suggested that shooting up bleach would cure COVID are in charge and we are all completely screwed. Airplanes falling out of the sky because of missing bolts is the least of our problems.
Someone will make it true very very soon. I can't wait!
That's why I kept my old land line for many years after until the cost of keeping the original copper just became too much.
Over time it became a racket. Due to the "publish or perish" nature of academic life, publishers realized they could charge outrageous fees for access to their content. The authors have to provide to content for free, the reviews and much of the editorial work is done for free, and the publishers are gatekeepers who rake in profit by trading on the self perpetuating reputations of prestigious journals.
Given that level of pure grift, is it any surprise that the publishing ecosystem is being overwhelmed by shady individuals who are motivated by trying to get ahead without doing the work? When the system is already corrupt why should anyone play by the rules?
