Didn't you know that the Ukraine war is Victoria Nuland's creation after HRC stoked Russia hatred for 4 years? That most Ukrainian soldiers are forced to go to battle? This is just the typical feminist short sighted view and historical cherry picking.
There are of course women in power who behave like wannabee strongmen ... Thatcher comes to mind ... and of course there are others ... and there are decent men ... my sons and sons-in-law for example.
But Netanyahu and Donald Trump are prime examples of what I wrote.
Forever it seems that old men make war and sacrifice young men ... and now women and children ... on the altar of their fragile egos ... and in the case of these men ... as a way to
Yes, I should have put 'and a very few little girls'- However, they're all brought up under the white western patriarchy that rewards dominance (or submission) over people other than white, women, animals and the planet.
The patriarchy is the problem not whether one happens to be a man, woman, black or white.
Ok so when women in power do bad things, it is not their fault, it is because of the patriarchy. When men do bad things, it is because they are intoxicated with testosterone. Powerfulem are responsible for their decisions, but powerful women are merely the victims of society.
I suspect we are all both victims of a toxic society and capable as individuals of making choices ... including the choice of standing against injustice and of choosing diplomacy over war.
Yes, I did know that a very few women, generally if they behave even more aggressively than men, are allowed into power and yes I should have put 'and a very few little girls'- However, both men and women, black and white are all brought up under the white western patriarchy that rewards dominance (or submission) over people other than white, women, animals and the planet.
The patriarchy is the problem, opposed by feminism, not whether those in power happen to be men, women, black or white.
In the interest of accuracy, Nuland was not a creator of anything momentous. Her husband, Robert Kagan is a writer who co-founded The Project For An American Century in 1997, and went on to write voluminous tomes about the uniquely moral American potential to save humanity. His books became the bases for regime change in Iraq and Lebanon and Syria and Libya and Sudan and Somalia. I think if those countries are all studied today they share one characteristic: They are all dysfunctional. Iran was the last intended regime targeted for change by the neocons. Iran, formerly Persia is where empires go to die.
I have always said that women will never be completely free until we recognize that they can be just as horrible as men. People of colour can be just as horrible as white people. Poor people can be quite horrible, but they are limited by funds in being all out cruel and horrible to a whole lot of people at once.

I understood and no need to explain the theme of your writing. All is true.
Power selects strongly for sociopathy.

please note that I wrote another short piece that recognizes that women in power can also
be as bad and there was a response about the culpability of the patriarchal

humanist as I think that it is important to create a world that is not toxic for any of us.

you just believe that because you know all people are equal! ;-)
