With half the population instantly dead, you can imagine that chaos ensues, especially when you factor in that a good majority of infrastructure support jobs are handled by - you guessed it - men.
If something like this actually happened they wouldn't last a week.
Water, electricity, telecommunications, firefighting... we're irreplaceable and some deadweight female diversity hire won't solve anything (without us to do the actual work and them getting the credit).
If the opposite happened we wouldn't even feel it, except for the emotional factor obviously. Or maybe HR departments and schools would feel it but that's a win in my book.
A couple of pearls from the ASH thread.

-
Not depending on commie, US-controlled ICANN for DNS.
-
Having more free speech oriented hardware providers.
-
Using nonconventional protocols, harder to scrape (hello Mozilla archivers!) and censor.
It's all pointless if they can just knock us out of our own platform (that we PAID for) by calling mommy government because we hurt their fee-fees.
They would already have banned right wing people long ago - if they could.
Fortunately for us, the four essential freedoms apply to all, without exception.
For that we have to thank Stallman, who has been coincidentally (or maybe not?) thrown under the bus by pound me too about a year ago.
Oh, and between the people and organizations cancelling him there's also Red Hat, which is starting to dominate the Linux ecosystem with the old tactic of forcing everyone to use their stuff (SystemD and Wayland most notably) as to choke any alternative.
