Understanding The Signals In This Dystopian Photo

The US-China delegation might as well have crawled up into a treehouse outfitted with a "NO GIRLS ALLOWED" warning sign nailed to its door. But, then, the true meaning of this photo would have been missed.

At such an important meeting, who would've thought the gender that leans most toward peace would deliberately be excluded? But nothing surprises me now. I presume the boys, seated and suited up like men, would have found women to be an annoying distraction.

The formalities of this meeting, its high stakes, left no room for bruised male egos should a woman suggest the brightest idea in the room. It's no place for embarrassment or insult. The boys would also feel more relaxed and important talking man-to-man—no need to mind their Ps and Qs or sweat over inappropriate male banter.

But what nobody's talking about is the much more serious purpose for this old-school exclusion. The elitists chose this important occasion, and the photo-op it afforded, to signal a new social reality to its global audience.

The dystopian photo of men conferencing around a coffin-shaped plot of astroturf covered in silk flowers sums it up: the era of women in the workplace is dead. Men will take it from here.

We knew the burial plot was underway when Trump promised to send "DEI hires" packing. Women, the new order leaders determined, must be pulled from the global workforce to ensure adequate jobs for men. But that reason was kept under wraps.

Just as automobiles replaced horses over one-hundred years ago, AI is replacing women first. The jobs that do remain must be given to men exclusively to prevent them from going off the deep end—or worse, becoming radicalized against the corporations gaming our global economy.
