idiots who say crap like this should study women in power historically

try English and French regents and consorts and dowagers from the 12th thru 17th century

especially the Aquitaine and Anjou and Burgandian women folk married into the English crown

they were incredibly tough and brutal and ambitious at times and had no fear to rule to see their progeny got theirs

the only difference for them was usually when they lost they were not beheaded and piked..they just lived in the Tower...or were later ransomed back to some dauphin in Normandy

the Spanish and Italian noblewomen were no different

I would bet the Hapsburgs too

it’s fantasy to think women rule better and sweeter than men

and anyonw married knows this

women are like chihuahuas...it’s a good thing they are usually less physical than men or otherwise the world would be even less safe
