Ladies, it's time to hand the country back to men [View all]

It’s our last hurrah before masculine energy returns.

You may have heard that a new president will be inaugurated on Monday.

By Donald Trump’s side, reportedly, will be the billionaire Founding Fathers of our exciting oligarchy. This includes Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos and Mark Zuckerberg, who has rebranded by cutting baby bangs and wearing chains last seen on a Zales truck. As part of this macho makeover, which includes a rejection of fact-checking and a green light for hate speech, the Meta overlord declared that businesses in America should return to a more “masculine” energy.

“I think a lot of the corporate world is pretty culturally neutered,” Zuck told fellow noted Caucasian man Joe Rogan. “Masculine energy is good, and obviously, society has plenty of that, but I think corporate culture was really trying to get away from it. I think having a culture that celebrates the aggression a bit more has its own merits that are really positive.”

So true. Men have been ignored for too long. As the nation writes this next chapter, it is crucial to refocus our attention on them. After all, we have been allowed to have credit cards in our own names since, what, 1974? And women run a whole 10% of Fortune 500 companies. What are we even whining about?
