What the hell does RTO have to do with women specifically? It's a mandate regardless of gender.

Reads article.

Ahh. Nothing. One department happened to be more heavily impacted for females, so suddenly it makes Dell a "boys club" (someone quoted in the article). The only reason provided was the possibility of women with spouses in the military that couldn't move.

Yeah, that's really stretching there and then slapped into the title for rage bait.

RTO mandates are newsworthy by their own right. No need to rage bait with nonsense to accompany it.

Nothing. This is very lazy journalism and boring rage-bait.

As a generalization, take any bad thing "Rising mortgage rates":

"Mortgage Rate Hike Disproportionately Impacts Women, Minority Communities"

As the Federal Reserve continues to raise interest rates in an effort to curb inflation, recent studies suggest that these measures may be adversely affecting women and minority communities more than their counterparts. The reason behind this disparity lies in existing wealth gaps between various demographic groups.

Women and minority households tend to have lower median household income levels compared to white men, according to data from the US Census Bureau. This means they often start with smaller down payments for homes and rely on riskier loans, such as adjustable-rate mortgages....

Congratulations, you have now turned a generic news story into some cheap click-bait. Note: with a small amount of work you can apply this technique to any negative news story.
