a few in Japan
a few in Egypt
@SufferBuddy i mean they can rule but its usually already setup by men
They certainly never emerged as the natural rulers.
loremaster that means you too
Elizabeth was pretty competent
Jingu for example was fairly notable
the rulers in japan and egypt were already setup by men
she was fairly successful in Korea IIRC
@Engineered Eldritch Catgirl That's because building things doesn't come natural to them, it's not in there nature.
and the minority does not set the rule for the majorty.
Most male rulers were uneventful. Competent in obscurity.
Female rulers tend either towards brilliance or total recklessness.
Of course, there's plenty who fucked it up royally
again its men who rule to keep women safe, thats just how it is
@fvriovs basically yeah
Mostly recklessness.
@fvriovs what like fucking hillary?
Power really goes to their head easy
Though I find it kinda funny that there were more Empresses of Japan than female Pharoahs
LMAO!
yeah tbf
It has always been men who emerged as the ruling sex though. I think it's because men tend to be more anti-social and this is a good trait for assertiveness.
They tend to overdo it with show of power, I'd say
a women can rule so long as men already set it up for them
but those female Empresses setup stuff for men

Penis envy perhaps.
no
that is the minority and doesn't fucking matter
don't get the "know how to use your sword, but keep it sheathed" thing as much as men do, on average
The most influential women in history were the ones likely advising the power, not becoming it themselves.
Never trust a female Asian ruler
women usually make for weak rulers anyways with a exception for a few but that is still a tiny amount
well yeah
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.
