"Women don't start wars" and other myths.

Queens start more wars, but the common feminist response is, “Well, who provoked them into it!”

The only reason why women haven't started as many wars is a lack of opportunity. If history had more female leaders than male ones, absolutely nothing would change except the pronouns of the warmongers. The desire for power and wealth isn't stored in the balls after all.

I find it interesting when feminists demand the authority to lead a nation but deny the obligation to defend it. They want a seat at the table and will help themselves to the status that power confers. But when that power has to be backed by force, they leave men to cover the cost. It’s like the ultimate "dine and dash" of political philosophy.

Ever heard of the Mourning Wars? It was a practice of the Haudenosaunee, or Iroquois, and other neighboring tribes. When a member died, they would raid their rivals to kidnap a person and force them to take on the identity and role of the deceased.

And who were the primary drivers of these raids? The Clan Mothers.

I've learnt that these radical feminists are truly incredibly insecure. They often come after people at the slightest hint of any issue mentioned about men, even when women were not mentioned or made fun of in the original post at all. One straight up stalked my friend's Instagram account and left some garbage on a photo of him with his nieces, asking whether said nieces "Know about the horrific things you say about women on social media" (The "horrific" things was, as you guessed, just him getting frustrated and arguing with that person elsewhere on that person's misandrist post, but not once did he say anything about women, let alone anything bad or dehumanizing about them, hilariously enough) or whether "He's saving that disappointment for when they're older". I don't think I know of any bigger loser than some of these people, really.

I mean let’s say we followed their silly logic and accepted that men can’t be “real victims” of constriction because they were forced by male rulers. That would still mean that many female rulers forced millions of men to fight wars they started💀. Which is something that men haven’t done to women.

Feminists love to say that doesn't count because we live in a patriarchy and if we lived in a matriarchy there wouldn't be any wars but this is a bs lie. There were Native Americans tribes that were matriarchial like the The Haudenosaunee (Iroquois Confederacy) and they still had wars.

Yeah this is always an utterly braindead talking point. Whatever inherent differences in sex (if they are even big enough to matter materially in a position as leader of state) are subordinate to power structures and foreign policy.

E.g. A male Margaret Thatcher would've been as likely to declare war as original Maggie given the circumstances of the Argentinian invasion, and a female Hitler would've started a war regardless of whether she was grooming Evan Braun or not because the Nazi party's ideology and Germany's economics demanded it.

You don't have to go that far, Sanae Takaichi is the main driver behind Japan's rearmament and push to remove the non-agression clause from their constitution. She's very openly preparing the country for war.

The real question is: Who has to fight the wars, not who started them.

The majority of women voted for male-only conscription in referendums in Switzerland.

This is taken out of context. Conscription for men existed already. The new initiative wanted to include women as well. Obviously ALL leftists voted against it, because we are against conscription. Or forced labor. Don't make this vote here a gendered issue, because it wasn't.

Female leaders of Switzerland haven't [...]

Tell me you don't know anything about Switzerland without telling me that you don't know anything about Switzerland.

Well, to be fair, some of those wars did start because male rivals didn't want a woman as a ruler.

The overall claim is still bullshit.
