A critique of rich white men - from an Australian woman

Rebecca Shaw is a writer based in Sydney. She gives a new reason for giving a 'thumbs down' to the rich white men leading humanity over the cliff - or at least to the famous ones, such as Elon Musk, Mark Zuckenberg, Jordan Peterson and Andrew Tate. Quite apart from how the capitalism, greed and bigotry which these guys promote is leading humanity into the inferno, what really gets her personal goat is that they're such crap examples of masculinity.

In her eyes, they're all losers. If only more eyes saw it that way. Of course, her article is written in humorous style. But there's surely more than grain of truth in it too. Women are disempowered, to nobody's long-term advantage I'd say.
