What's worse is that some of them STILL are

Just remember. There is no such thing as a fake geek girl. There are only fake geek boys. Science fiction was invented by a woman.

I do my readings on the history of labour in the early industrial period. I see that the majority of factory workers were women, because they could do the same work as men but for less money, while being less valuable to families and therefore easier to buy. I see that there were also women working in mines, and women who remained in farming communities were doing the physical labour of farm work as well as the production of a family's market goods -- the breadwinning. I see that women started industrial action and strikes, that in places like Japan they were significantly responsible for the national economy, since exports like textiles were produced by an 80%+ female workforce. I see that these women worked over 12 hour days, every single day, while in many cases being legally imprisoned on the factory premises.

And then I have a break and I look on social media and I see someone saying that men are the ones who do ~all the hard physical work~ that women are implicitly unable to do, and this is why those jobs are called "blue jobs".

There is so much fucking information in the world about how everything actually works, and it's so accessible. Immediately accepting as true any random gender essentialist phrase you hear on Tiktok is a completely, very easily avoidable way of making yourself look like an utter fucking moron.

Opinion on this?

Tbh I am against using barbie as an example of anything, because yes it is just a movie. I haven't watched it but I'm pretty sure the thing was just a giant advertisement. However, women are more likely to be leftist and anti-draft, that is true. If you want you can use real life matriarchical societies as examples to base opinions off of (such as these https://www.unearthwomen.com/5-matriarchal-societies-where-women-are-in-charge/).

I don't think female leaders were more likely to be warmongers though. I think this is based off of observing monarchies, because they were more likely to have female rulers during instability (kings were generally the default because of well, the way the patriarchy is), which leads to war often times. Monarchs in general were also more likely to be militaristic because they were just detached, male or female.

I think monarchies are shit regardless of the gender and no I don't think women are inherently peaceful or something. In fact, gender roles expecting women to be passive is a negative thing for women, especially in this society.

On the prison data part, um, idk man I looked into it and I couldn't find it. What is the sample even from?

Ngl I think those arguments are how I found your page and I did find them interesting to read (I was already a feminist though), but if it's giving you a headache then I would say take a break. Or step away once it degenerates into even dumber shit lol.

I am actually in a weird situation because I don't know shall I continue trying to debate the usual circle. Obviously it's impossible to change their minds because online discussions never achieve this, so my aim was their followers, but I don't know does it even work either.

I feel like disproving such nonsense is my duty, but I don't know how to actually do it
