      In the 90s, the headlines were absurdist satire, and the point was to laugh at people who could fall for it being a real news publication.

      Things like “Woman wins powerball lottery. Buys state of Montana.”

      NOW the headlines are absurdist satire, and the world has decided to bite the onion SO HARD that real life headlines are just as absurdist and satire adjacent, that you’re easily forgiven for not knowing the difference between ketchup and catsup.

          I call tomatoes god’s perfect food, but they can only be pushed so far until they become an abomination before a loving Jesus.

    Honestly, this is more a prediction than satire at this point.

    19th Amendment:

    The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of sex.

    Only about a century old. Let’s go for another 100.

    I had to double check the name of the sub to make sure this wasn’t a real law.

    *female voters.

    “women” is a noun, not an adjective. Writing “women voters” is just as bad as writing “voting females”

      The phrase “women voters” is grammatically correct. It’s a compound noun phrase where “women” serves as an attributive noun modifying “voters.” This construction is common in English (like “student athletes” or “senior citizens”) and is used to specify a subgroup of voters.
