British MP’s do this shit all the time. You don’t have to be a politician! You could just be a transactional lawyer or an energy lobbyist! You don’t have the right to complain about the “representing people” part about the job, because if you do, you clearly just resent your constituents!

They have a perfectly consistent position. 'Women' is a special protected group and a small elite clique gets to determine who qualifies.
(admittedly they often pretend this isn't their position, but no one needs to entertain them on that)

yeah, I know its going to hurt people at a much wider scale than just the AI companies, but that sadly feels like table stakes a world with stock markets.
No one punished the mortgage rebundlers for 2008, no one will punish whoever causes the next crash.
