NASA has taken down two graphic novels featuring a female astronaut from its website. This decision seems to follow the Trump administration’s stance against
Statistically, women leaders start more wars than men, so a matriarchal society signs us up for more war. The group statistically likely to start less wars is former soldiers, probably because they know the horrors.
Maybe leadership is more “content of character” than a gender issue
The problem is too many won’t go for it. I recently met a guy who completely voted against his own best interests just because Kamala was born with a vagina instead of a penis. He admitted it freely, so he knowingly voted for the people who want to make people like him slaves again. It’s absolutely mind boggling.
I feel like we’d exchange the Elon Musks of the world for the JK Rowlings of the world, the Ronald Reagans for the Margaret Thatchers, and the Donald Trumps for the Ayn Rands.
“Fairer sex my ass”
The only reason you don’t think women can be evil is because you’re too used to the idea of women as damsels to be rescued, too childish to be a threat to anyone. This is because the patriarchy hates the idea that a woman can be competent moreso than a man, even in acts of evil.
Prejudice, just like the Far-Right, just with different “superior” and “inferior” groups.
Historically the best criteria for selecting people to positions of power is how little they want power, not gender or race.
(Personally I think that’s because people who do not want power see it as a burden, and they do so because for them power is a great responsability towards many others - what sane individuals would ever want to be in a position were they can ruin the lives of countless people by making a mistake - and that’s exactly the kind of people you want to entrust with it, not the ones for whom power is a form of ego-stroking or even a tools for personal upside maximization)
And after 200 years of matriarchy, people would be saying that women are evil and we should have a patriarchy. Whoever holds the power always ends up oppressing whoever doesn’t.
If we survive this, we really should switch to a matriarchal society.

as a treat
And a break! Patriarchy hurts everyone.
You can have a little patriarchy on the full moon, as a treat
Heck, yeah! I can be the Ceremonial Male at special festivals and then just chill and be normal the rest of the time.

I’d love to live in a society where no particular gender held most positions of power or had more legislative influence.
Sure, but if we HAD to have a gender in charge, I’d prefer women.

Yupes, good old “benevolent” sexism.

Have you not seen tumblr? You’ll just get Elon Musk with a vagina and a hate-on for anyone capable of having a hard-on… Even if they aren’t men.
