There's actually a theory that we've been talking about in my biology of sexuality and gender class regarding the fact that women are actually superior in a lot of ways to men and that's why men feel the need to oppress them There's a lot I still have *not* learned about this theory but I just wanted to mention it since it's something my very informed (and male) professor brought up

Do you believe some people are genetically better at certain tasks than others? If so why stop at sex? Feels off to me..

there’s actual science behind all this but im gonna explain it in non official verbiage cause im high their bodies handle stress and pain better and estrogen is not an emotional hormone like testosterone is. also our society grooms them to be motherly, but grooms men to be CEOs. a mother cares about her children, a CEO exploits his workers

we also tend to hold women to higher purity standards, not just sexual but we expect a woman to be nicer, more socialable and generous, things like that. if u look at what women get canceled for by the media on average, vs what men do, itll paint that picture too

Different races have different hormonal levels and binding affinity of said hormones to various receptors around their body, especially androgens. This affects intellectual ability in high stress environments according to your model of reality

That’s true, also Vietnam (Truong My Lan). She was a real estate developer though, not a politician. But she was responsible for the largest corruption scandal in SE Asia

Ok that makes sense. You think women can be better at certain tasks than men and men can be better at certain tasks than women. One last thing is how do you objectively measure better because different tasks have many components that require different abilities. Maybe competition?

men have a conquering problem for sure. we spent centuries going around killing other tribes and stealing land, plundering their women and using them to repopulate the “new” settlement. i think it has something to do with the hierarchy men create for themselves… i remember a study on mice that watched a small group of them live in harmony, until a mouse with extra testosterone came in and the “beta” mice started attacking anyone weaker than them to show off to the “alpha”

and there’s something about how every other animal species that has evolved menopause, also has a matriarchal structure, suggesting the menopause is so that women can spend less energy on hormone production for the second half of their life and that energy can be redistributed on other important things

I brought up Truong My Lan because of “power corrupts” — in a position of power she absolutely was corrupt. But Sheikh Hasina is absolutely a better example. I was also going to mention Carrie Lam, the president of Hong Kong when China started exerting more control over it, but Sheikh Hasina is absolutely a good example

but can we ask why power corrupts? id argue that its because the system/atmosphere that power position resides in, usually encourages that corruption of character…. for example, a person builds a business, and as it gets larger, eventually it is competing with other businesses that owe their success to corrupt means, thus forcing the businessman to succumb to those influences or lose power. the same thing applies to government or leading a country id argue that its the

Also all this collective compassion is just dumb. We elect one individual to be president. Let’s judge the individual on their ability to run the country, their ability to handle stress and their intelligence. You can’t reason from a group average to an individual that’s the ecological fallacy.

Unfortunately I think that was not only based on race, but the fact that a woman having any sort of relations with a man is somehow deemed scandalous. But only for certain women (likely a racial thing)

The most recent notable one is probably Harris and Willie Brown. There were all these allegations that she broke up his marriage despite him being separated (idk if he ever got divorced) from his wife for almost a decade at that time. There were allegations of nepotism too, which might be valid, but the “slept her way to the top” is simply crazy considering she held mostly elected positions, not appointed ones
