    No one should rule the world. True liberation comes from realizing that it’s the throne that’s the problem and not who sits in it.

    Ain’t men. The patriarchy exists, sure, but not solving the problem at the core will just lead to more unjust hierarchies with a different gender on top.

          Not really, since we’re still talking about women holding a patriarchal position in a patriarchal system.

              Like, this is basically the mistake that “girlboss feminism” makes. just because you’re putting a woman in a high position that formerly only a man could have occupied, you don’t actually fix the oppressive system as a whole. the system of patriarchy is about more than just no women in high offices.

        Apparently America would rather have this than entertain the idea of a woman in charge. :(

              Thank you. I promise a great sundering. I promise ruin grief and desolation

              Heres my platform:

              A new government department dedicated to making your pets hate you.

              A great new infrastructure public works and jobs project inspired by ‘fullmetal alchemist’.

              Nationalize twitter

              All government services are now provided through chat bots. On twitter. Also the character limit is back.

              End racism by instituting slavery for all americans, regardless of race or creed

              Make new, more fucked up, racism. Possible a caste system, but definitely involve calipers.

              Those dog robots? More of those.

              Murder drones with arbitrary targeting rules, changed daily and only announced an hour in advance

              Start a grand research project to realize every dystopian scifi novel

              Engineer every child (to be a fucking disaster)

              Taxes are now microtransactions. Through twitter. There will be points.

              I promise to destroy or steal for myself: the moon and at least one continent.

              Still capitalism, but cops have to break in and use your toothbrush at least once a week.

              All home appliances must be wifi enabled and access your social media-including sex toys.

              Gender affirming care for trans people is just as banned, but now cis people need to do it (we will check)

              You can still have ice cream, but we only do meat and periodic table flavors now. No the meat is not cooked first.

              All identification now requires licking a surface. You can clean the surface with a dry sponge. After you use it.

              Possible slogans: Outhouseperilous 2028-

              -a politician you want to lie!

              -Hope you can trust; hope that im lying!

              -Fuck it

              -Can this really be worse?

              -at least shes not a fascist

              -no war for oil, only war for war

      I think overall it would be slightly better. I normally score a society by how safe the woman are, especially when they’re alone.

        I agree that it would be slightly better. Not because women are in some way superior to men, but because more diverse groups in gender and culture perform better in almost any metric measured.

        The republican women congresspeople and SCOTUS justices perform exactly the same capitulation as the republican men in those positions… Murkowski and Coney-Barrett have both been outspoken in these last weeks about their support of the direction the country is headed.

            Doesn’t this just support the opposite of your idea though? Regardless of gender, politics is about power, and it rewards those who do what is necessary to gain and retain power. We wouldn’t just be holding a lottery to randomly appoint women to positions of power - we’d be selecting for (in one way or another) the most power-hungry women in society.

      usually one installed by a MAN, it ends up bad its called glass ceiling in some cases. its the case for many companies, aka X, or has gotten in a position of power through nepotism from thier husband or other. this allows woman to act as a lightning rod for criticism and failures while hiding behind said woman, which the man caused.

      these are 2 things where woman are often seen as bad leaders, but if you look behind how they got there: nepotism/favors/connections or only electable when she is associated with a man(like with the clintons) or installed as PR shield, its actually still the mans fault.

        Yes! The previous men were a bunch of thieving fools save for AMLO who was mostly a fool of the press. He had many missteps but he has a good heart. At least his legacy will live on, and who better to take that torch and ruin with it than his self-described apprentice, Sheinbaum.
