Honestly, I'm so fucking over men's rule in general. How about we let women rule instead?
Simply replacing the gender of those in power does not change the systemic conditions of power. In other words, a system designed by and as a patriarchy does not cease to be a patriarchy because it is run by women. It would only cease as such by the very same systemic changes needed to bring non-(wealthy-CISHet-WASPs) into the the majority of leadership.
I truly do not want a government loaded full of MTG's nor Barretts.
I agree - let's have bourgeois women shafting workers instead of bourgeois men shafting workers.
We're progressive like that!
Like Thatcher?
I'm not trying to defend men here, in fact they are horrible; but it's not like history hasn't seen horrible female leaders. Almost like it's a human instead of a gender-specific trait
Look, Thatcher was a complete asshat and I hope people use her grave as a toilet for the next 1000 years, but scoring one point for women are just as bad, compared to the thousands of male asshats just feel forced.
Do we know a matriarchy would be better? Noop. Do we know it would be worse? Noop. We could at least try something beyond the dysfunctional system we have today.
Women ruling we'll be no different. Example all the women who have power now. The problem is people who want power shouldn't have it and the people who would be good rulers don't want power.
Do you think the Spice Girls effectively utilized girl power by funneling money to David Beckham's estate?
And this is how david hogg got fired after winning the dnc election. We dont need one type of person, what we need are qualified individuals no matter what gender or race.
Do you think Margaret Thatcher effectively utilized girl power by funneling money to illegal paramilitary death squads in Northern Ireland?
So your argument against women ruling is one empire bitch?
Or every women who has had or currently has power. How about that.
We should try no gods no masters for a change.
We tried that. She was as power hungry as the rest of them.
