    I think they’re asking both men and women if they think old psychotic men ruining the world is annoying.

    Because while psychotic billionaire women surely exist, I think we can agree that most autocrats and other crazy blood-hungry politicians are usually male.

    I mean, name a female despot from modern times? History has a few. Queen Mary aka “Bloody Mary”, Cleopatra, Catherine the Great, etc. But they’re clearly a minority, just like with serial killers and other violent criminals.

      Thatcher? Thatcher was pretty bad.

      But that’s beside the point that caustic masculinity, excess wealth, and patriarchy need to meet the guillotine.

        I thought about her, yeah, but she wasn’t a proper autocrat, was she?

        Kinda hard to be with a queen above you, really. But yeah she wasn’t nice at all.

      Idk if Hilary would’ve done much better first term. Shes like the archetype of chaotic evil pretending to be good.

        Well no, obviously it’s not just an issue of mostly men being politicians. Reality isn’t exactly that black and white. But it does highlight… something.
