And still I see no changes, can’t a brother get a little peace? It’s war on the streets and the war in the Middle East.

I’m not really seeing how this would constitute an “as applied” challenge?

Wondering if any male attorneys here oppose the tech-broification of important policies. Anyone who has worked in or around tech is familiar with beta-boy misogyny, but they are taking it to an even more despicable and extreme level:
despicable level:

As of March 2026, Palantir CEO Alex Karp has made controversial statements regarding the impact of Artificial Intelligence (AI) on the workforce, specifically predicting that AI will reduce the economic and political power of “highly educated, often female voters” who tend to vote Democratic.

Key points regarding Karp’s statements on women and AI include:
Shifting Power Dynamics: Karp stated that AI will disrupt “humanities-trained” workers—a group he characterized as largely female and Democratic—while increasing the power of “vocationally trained, working-class, often male” workers.

Targeting “Elite” Workers: In a CNBC interview and other forums, Karp argued that AI will disproportionately affect educated, white-collar, left-leaning women, arguing that this shift is part of a necessary, albeit dangerous, technological transformation.
Political Implications: Commentators have interpreted these remarks as a deliberate political realignment, with Karp positioning his AI technology as a tool to shift power away from liberal women and toward the demographics often targeted by conservative, “anti-woke” political strategies.

Controversy and Backlash: These comments have generated significant backlash, with critics describing his views as a “sexist” or “chauvinist” outlook that reflects a “pathological fear” of educated, independent women.
Karp has argued that these changes are inevitable and that if American companies do not adopt these AI tools to restructure the workforce, foreign adversaries will, thus framing the disruption as essential to maintaining American dominance.

A stretch to find a gender argument here. Political inclination is irrelevant. What is relevant is what job can AI do, and what job can AI not do. The answer is a job that requires hands, physical labor. This distinction may not be lasting if robots continue to improve.

If you’re going to have AI write your comments on this blog, can you at least tell AI to keep it short?

That’s a lot of nonsense.

Just because people are stereotypically suitable or preferred for particular roles does not mean they are incapable or uninterested in filling different roles.

Maybe the dudes in all dude fields should be worried about the cheaper, hungrier labor invading their opportunities.

People need to work. There will be jobs.

The gender issue is really a red herring, but the class issue isn’t. There is a good possibility that power will accumulate among those least capable morally and intellectually.

In fact, it already has.

Let’s talk gender and class, my little Marxist, but not feminist, friend. Women are about 35-38% more likely to live in poverty than men due to structural factors, including lower wages, unequal access to quality jobs, and caregiving responsibilities.

Gender Wage Gap: Women are often paid less than men for the same work, and make up two-thirds of minimum wage workers.

Occupational Segregation: Women are more frequently employed in informal, precarious, or low-paying jobs.

Unpaid Care Work: Women disproportionately bear the responsibility of unpaid care work (childcare, elderly care), which limits their ability to engage in full-time, paid labor.

Gender Wealth Gap: Women have less accumulated wealth and savings to handle financial shocks.

Household Structure: Single-mother households are at a significantly higher risk of poverty due to government policy decisions.

Fellow women, the men around you do not care if you lose voting rights (ex. SAVE Act) or the ability to do your job. Remember this and fight as though your autonomy and freedom—and that of your daughters’— depends on it. Now is the time to get involved and fight. Do not be complacent.

It’s always the beta men, the guys who desperately need approval from other guys, who make excuses for misogyny. The men with a modicum of self-confidence support the women around them because it’s the just thing to do.

Men who feel insecure in their masculinity often mock femininity. men who are confident in who they are don’t feel the need to criticize how others express their gender b/c they’re not trying to gain male approval by putting others down. See e.g. Thor Bradley.

We don’t mock femininity. We cherish it and love it. Adore it even.

We mock feminism for what it is. This is the difference. Now sit and overthink this. Because we know you’re going to

Hyperbole. No one is losing a right to vote. If you have a driver’s license with the gold star, you have already provided the birth, divorce, name change, etc. documents. If you want Welfare, you must prove citizenship.
Thirty-six (36) states already have voter ID laws. The constitution only permits citizens to vote in federal elections.
So, asking for ID to cash a check or vote in federal election is not much of a burden.

What a judicial world we live in when department bust your chops pursuant to EDCR 7.21 to get your orders drafted and submitted within 14 days but they cannot sign them for 2 months. The problem is becoming more and more pronounced

Drafted orders within 14 days but then don’t sign them for two months. Which or what departments are the culprit? Do tell.

25 is bad. 23 is bad. 24 has been bad about it but that might just be because who know who is manning the desk on any given day. 17 has occasionally gone over a month.
