Only partly joking.
Politico explains why GOPosaurs are becoming extinct:
They don't have enough women to procreate!
Perhaps it comes from their disdain for evolution, maybe they feel they are so superior to us mortals that, unlike us, the do not need women in their ranks in order to grow their ranks.
All joking aside here are a few extracts from the Politico article:
Women make up almost 51 percent of the U.S. population but less than 10 percent of the House and Senate GOP — a gender disconnect that could make the Republicans’ climb back to power even steeper than it would be otherwise.

Out of 435 members of the House, just 17 are Republican women. Of 99 sitting senators, just four are Republican women.
Of course, there are fewer Republicans than Democrats of either gender in the two houses. But even on a percentage basis, Republicans suffer a gender gap. Twenty-two percent of House Democrats are women, but only 9.5 percent of House Republicans are. In the Senate, nearly 23 percent of the Democrats are women, but only 10 percent of the Republicans are.

"Republican women are more reluctant to throw their hat in the ring because they don’t see a lot of women like themselves in leadership or on the news," she said. "This idea that the GOP is just going to treat everyone fairly hasn’t worked. If the GOP wants more women, they’re going to have to do more than just recruit women. They need to urge them to run."
National Republican Congressional Committee Chairman Pete Sessions (R-Texas) is trying to do that.
"If we are going to expand the playing field we must expand the party," he said through a spokesman. "On the candidate recruitment front, we continue to focus on finding highly qualified female candidates who can effectively convey the Republican message."

Snowe says there’s also a political dimension. As the Republican Party sheds moderates, it also sheds women.
"[We] as a party are saying we’re not supporting Republican moderates. That’s a terrible message to send," said Snowe, who with her Maine counterpart Susan Collins represents 50 percent of the Republican women in the Senate. "It tells everyone else in America who might have an interest in running as a Republican moderate, they’re going to have to think twice. The messages coming out of the national party are critical. They’ve got to be embracive and inclusive of political diversity. They can’t on one hand say we’re going to build a majority and then say we only want people with certain characteristics, like white males from the South. That’s a concern to me."
emphasis mine
So let me get this straigh, the party that believes women belong at home, barefoot and pregnant is going to make a real effort to get women elected? That is one of the funniest concepts.
Perhaps it's the GOPosaur's rejection of evolution (you know where mammals need one specimen from each gender to reproduce) that makes them so reluctant to accept that they need any women at all!
It is kind of ironic that the party of obstructionism and anti-gay hatred is trying to grow it's ranks by becoming an all-male club.
