I remember that Hillary Clinton's campaign message seemed to focus on so called male sins and not at all on female virtues.
Going back at bit further - Corazon Aquino, the first female Philippine president, presented herself as the "mother of the nation". She more or less said "Your dad is out fucking everything with a hole and spending all the family budget". She promised to be morally upright. She mostly failed but she did get in power.
Ha ha. Sure. I don’t even mind if the Legislature is half women. I think in Venezuela it is by law. But they rule and vote like rational people, not like feminist lunatics. I’m not opposed females in power. I’m opposed to female VALUES in power.
And I came to this reluctantly. I used to be a big feminist and believe that if we just put women in power there would be fewer wars, etc. Turned out to be completely false. Historically, queens started 20% more wars than men.
As far as laws go, they rule just fine but the need to butt out of anything involving the gender divide. They inevitably pass laws that privilege women and harm men and it fails, causes chaos, everybody gets miserable, including women.
They also start passing all these crazy rules and laws based on feelings instead of logic. They pass rules and laws saying it’s illegal to hurt someone’s feelings in some way instead of logic. Basically you violated the law or rule if someone (inevitably a woman) thinks you did or FEELS you did.
Like Metoo. How do you know you’re sexually harassing a woman? You’re harassing if she FEELS like you are. How do you what might FEEL like harassment to this particular woman? You have no idea! In other words they pass all these vague laws and rules where you have no idea if you’re violating them or not.
They pass all this legislation based on FEELS, and that simply doesn’t work. Feelings are just fine but not in laws.

Another way to put it, potential female leaders need to focus on female virtues and not on how shitty we men are lol.
Sure. Females in power are just fine as long as they don’t implement feminism.
I assume you mean a certain kind of feminism Robert. You have written many positive things about equity feminism.
Of course. But all feminist groups in the West push gender feminism.
Definitions are important here. By gender feminism I assume you mean misandrist third wave shit vs. old school equity feminism?
Of course. And all self-identifying politically active feminists are the former.
Good article Robert.
I'm surprised that the female readers haven't commented yet
