but in their defense, there's only ever been a handful of female rulers

Because the Japanese Imperial position has been irrelevant for most of history.

You can see this in tabletop games too @leavethisbotnet . Female players tend to be overly agressive in situations where it isnt a good idea. At least in most groups ive had.

Also i know this is kinda off topic but look at the game survivor, for what its worth real or not women usually end up getting the men to help because they are generally useless.

@fvriovs well, my favourite pop science evolutionary psychologist says that humans as we are now are not really different from humans in the stone age, as evolution before industrial revolutions came very, very slowly.

So our mindset is still tribal and with that comes all what you need for a tribe to function, or, with it comes what you *don't* need to do if you aren't the one who maintains that particular task. Women aren't leaders because in that structure they didn't need that. Same with men and e.g. being the primary carers for young and old. And you can see that in cultures all over the world.

Also if you ever worked in an otherwise all-female workplace, you know women can be the pettiest vendetta-obsessed passive aggressive little shits <:smugon:512048583806025739>

Thatcher is an interesting case.

@Xaverius i believe some one did try that with a all female workplace and it end up going bankrupt.

She was somewhat aggressive, but not so much that it would be bad IMO

oof

women were bitching and being workable

@Mulisa I used to play Total War games, with the girls at my school, they'd ALWAYS go aggro on me or on someone when we couldn't afford too.

I've never met a female total war player.

is she hot?

It just doesn't strike me as coincidental that men emerged as the ruling sex in almost every single society world-wide.

There's clearly a reason behind that.

there is

the period

@Engineered Eldritch Catgirl I mean a few where, some where really not, most played because I well looking back at it, most forced them too. xD

because women are the ones who give birth so naturally men want to protect them

laregely

Ye. Feeling of power makes em easily too agressive. Wether that is inherent to them or they just dont get taught to temper their agression like men do, i don't know.

A few exceptions to that though @Engineered Eldritch Catgirl

not really

women give birth, men fight to keep pack alive

In my view from a practical exchange it's just fairer. Men did the manual labour, they built the cities, they farmed the crops, they hunted the food, and they died to defend it all. To then *deny* men the power to dictate where the society they were expected to die in the defence of actually *goes* seems a little erroneous to me.

although it has changed a lot now in the modern times

@Mulisa I'd say that's connected to them being physically weaker, so they get the destruction potential of power less

@fvriovs but muh oppression

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Patriarchy has been a near cultural universal.

@leavethisbotnet that could also lead to a case of inherent napoleon syndrome that flares up when said power is available?

j-just a hundred years ago... w-women were v-viewed as... as... CHATTLE

The physical power disparity is also why lesbian couples have such a high proportion of domestic violence and gay men so low

I read about that.

Hold on.

because men arn't bitches, hahahahaha

depends, some are

mostly gays tho

I wouldn't say it's napoleon syndrome, as much as it is they simply do not understand it as well

the Milo-esque effeminate types tend to be pretty bitchy IIRC

good thing i'm not gay <:pepelaugh:544857300179877898>
