If you look at the hands of the guy, they look deformed, so I assumed this was an AI-generated picture. This is really the Baudrillardian hyper-reality.

In the US women are more likely to register for voting and have a higher turnout:

It has been so since the 60s. For Presidential elections, it amounts to roughly 10 million more votes coming from women than men.
Why do you think it is the case?

Anti-hierarchy bias doesn't seem to fit. The entire thing is used by people with high social, symbolic and cultural capital to legitimize their position of power. It's about claiming that you're selflessly protecting the oppressed and disadvantaged, so very virtuous people like you deserve to be ruling. At the same time, most of the point are straight up "toxoplasma of rage", they are not meant to convince people and, in fact, don't convince anyone outside the bubble. It has no tangible impact on real-world social justice. If it were really about opposing the status quo, the focus would be on important and actionable problems with effective approaches to solve them, not semantics and microaggressions. They may not be aware of it, but it's all a performance.
Wait, what? I might have missed something here.
