I’m just documenting how the world is, not how it should be. In general women can form relationships passively (be excellent and accept/reject offers), while men have to engage in active pursuit, or else nothing happens.

Yeah, I think some people are born with an innate desire to understand how things work. It’s possible to recognize it in toddlers, based on observations within my extended family. Our society would be enriched if we were better at recognizing and nourishing that trait when it appears in women.
I don’t think “anyone” can excel in STEM, but there are likely a lot of women (and to a lesser extent men) who potentially could, but fail to get the right exposure at a young enough age.
I would like to think that my biggest accomplishments (at a major tech company for 10+ years) happened through making good technical/ideological arguments, listening to people’s problems, and telling computers how to fix them, rather than my physical appearance. Whenever they asked me to be a manager, I was like “ugh, no that sounds awful.”
Then after 15 months of COVID isolation, I burned out and left. Now I’m thinking it’d be nice if I’d learned how to approach women and do standard masculine things. The world doesn’t just give you sex for excelling in school/work.
I guess my point is that a patriarchal society makes it difficult for men who don’t actively pursue power over others to form relationships.
My thought while watching the movie was:
Wow this “patriarchy” concept is intriguing. It seems like it would be really useful if I hadn’t gone through life avoiding any kind of power or responsibility.

Well, if you currently have this problem and want to fix it, I’ve shown you the way. OpenWrt is free software.
Otherwise, there’s no point arguing about it.
Multi-hour downloads have been a thing since capacity was measured in kbps. If a simple TCP transfer causes excessive queueing, then the queueing algorithm is broken.
A router with OpenWrt and luci-app-sqm
can fix this problem, at least for an internet connection with a fixed speed limit.
One major AAA game update will likely break your connection
One person in the house uploading anything will cripple your ability to make ANY request
You are describing symptoms of bufferbloat, not capacity problems.
Wikipedia says ± 525 kV DC. They’re sending 1.4 GW a distance of 765 km. Previous record was the North Sea Link at 720 km.
The best you can realistically do is vote for people who care about solving the problem, and against people who ignore the problem.
