If we survive this, we really should switch to a matriarchal society.

I'd love to live in a society where no particular gender held most positions of power or had more legislative influence.
Sure, but if we HAD to have a gender in charge, I'd prefer women.
And after 200 years of matriarchy, people would be saying that women are evil and we should have a patriarchy. Whoever holds the power always ends up oppressing whoever doesn't.
Yeah, but that's someone else's problem as I'll be long gone by then.
I feel like we'd exchange the Elon Musks of the world for the JK Rowlings of the world, the Ronald Reagans for the Margaret Thatchers, and the Donald Trumps for the Ayn Rands.
Fairer sex my ass
The only reason you don't think women can be evil is because you're too used to the idea of women as damsels to be rescued, too childish to be a threat to anyone. This is because the patriarchy hates the idea that a woman can be competent moreso than a man, even in acts of evil.
Yupes, good old "benevolent" sexism.
Prejudice, just like the Far-Right, just with different "superior" and "inferior" groups.
Historically the best criteria for selecting people to positions of power is how little they want power, not gender or race.
(Personally I think that's because people who do not want power see it as a burden, and they do so because for them power is a great responsability towards many others - what sane individuals would ever want to be in a position were they can ruin the lives of countless people by making a mistake - and that's exactly the kind of people you want to entrust with it, not the ones for whom power is a form of ego-stroking or even a tools for personal upside maximization)
Yes, merit is overrated. We should just get more of Giorgia Meloni, Alice Weidel and Marine Le Pen. Clearly Europe is on the right track...
Have you not seen tumblr? You'll just get Elon Musk with a vagina and a hate-on for anyone capable of having a hard-on.... Even if they aren't men.
So an even more mask-off JK Rowling
I'm not against the idea at all, but there are pletny of women in power at the federal level that are absolute dogshit as well.
as a treat
And a break! Patriarchy hurts everyone.
You can have a little patriarchy on the full moon, as a treat
Heck, yeah! I can be the Ceremonial Male at special festivals and then just chill and be normal the rest of the time.
Don't worry, worry-worts. There is an armada of data hoarders who will bring this all back after the purge. Data doesn't die as long as nerds and geeks like me exist to persist the knowledge we have attained. Be of good cheer - nobody viewed that data before except a select few who cared, it is still there for them just not officially hosted by our broken system...it will be unbroken soon enough.
What's next? Rename the Artemis program because we can't be flying to the moon under some lady name? Probably change it to Ares, god of war and courage. That's a very manly man name, just as the good lords Jesus and Trump intended.
Change it to Donald, god of bone spurs and bigotry.
I'm imagining those early rocket failures where they just fall over and burst into flames.
