If we survive this, we really should switch to a matriarchal society.

[–] [email protected] 37 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I'd love to live in a society where no particular gender held most positions of power or had more legislative influence.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Sure, but if we HAD to have a gender in charge, I'd prefer women.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 months ago (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

Yeah, but that's someone else's problem as I'll be long gone by then.

And a break! Patriarchy hurts everyone.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 months ago (1 children)

You can have a little patriarchy on the full moon, as a treat

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 months ago

Heck, yeah! I can be the Ceremonial Male at special festivals and then just chill and be normal the rest of the time.

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.

Yes, merit is overrated. We should just get more of Giorgia Meloni, Alice Weidel and Marine Le Pen. Clearly Europe is on the right track...

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 months ago

I'm not against the idea at all, but there are pletny of women in power at the federal level that are absolute dogshit as well.

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 β€œcontent of character” than a gender issue

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 months ago

Women being leaders in a patriarchal society will probably behave like leaders in a patriarchal society.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

One single woman in charge is not a matriarchy.

I look to a day when people will not be judged by the bits between their legs, but by the content of their character.

That's the famous quote.

I saw a Sliders episode like that and if I recall it was pretty sweet

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago

I don't know about that. If I recall that woman got busted for hiding men at her place. They knew because the toilet seats were left up!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

Oh god I remember that episode. I haven't seen it for so long that I have to see it again.
