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?
No but actually this
Their idea is that "men do things, and women make the men that do things", it's genuinely so dumb
something that gets me about guys who go on about how a woman's purpose is kids is that they really believe their mothers' most significant contribution to the world was them
It amazes me how the National Park Service is the most vocal department against Fascism. Even the Democrats are a mumble when compared to these park rangers' adamant denouncement and exposing of this administration. Support our bravest federal workers who keep our world one worth living in.
So what is your point exactly?

Well,
1. Radical feminism isn't just for developed countries. Who told you that was the case?
I can agree, things have gotten better in countries with more feminist policies, but these things certainly have not been there even in "developed" countries for "more than a century". Need I remind you the fact that 50 years ago women weren't allowed to have bank accounts without a mans permission in America? Or that marital rape was only fully illegal in the US as of 1993? And dude look, abortion was made illegal again in many states, a lot of them overlap with the ones that have the most issues with teen pregnancy and child marriage (red states). This is another specific issue.
But enough about America alone. Globally, women's rights have been recently taking a turn for the worse.
You can't undo literal millennia of oppression in only 50 years, and yes attitude and perceptions around women's rights is also important to push policies. Policy doesn't come out of thin air and people generally don't protest for things they don't think they need.
2. I provided specific policies already. It's not my fault if you can't read. And boycotts or each of these polices are just examples, not the full solution. It's a lot more complex and gradual. For example, living women the right to vote also didn't get rid of the patriarchy but it did help. Telling the suffragettes they should give up protesting and that it's hopeless for women to have equal rights however, was not. How are you going to accuse us of doomerism and then delegitimize all political activism and call it useless?
3. The ideas of male and female socialization are pretty integral to radfem theory on gender. If you had doubts, then you can just ask her. No need for charades. What tells you "that person doesn't actually agree that the problem lies in socialisation" lmao?
4. That's the thing, we're against gendered socialization in general. There's not really much to be done in policy at this time, other than trying to educate people get rid of the notion that male and female brains are significantly different or that people are hard-wired as feminine vs masculine because of their brain's gender. Gender ideology/activism did push this back a bit in the scientific field.
What are your proposed solutions or specific issues you want addressed? I hear a lot of criticism from you but... no suggestions?

genuinely insane how any words for bad things get censored even if you're denouncing it or bringing awareness. God forbid a company can't sponsor a video or liberals get offended by seeing a bad word.
Do people not realize how this makes the problems worse? How can you fight nazis without even being able to say the word "nazi"?
Talking like "people are being unalived on a mass scale like in bad germany". literally 1984 what the fuck is wrong with people.
oh lmao I thought, well, hoped it was satire.
I don't know if you've ever actually talked to an MRA or not honestly.
So MRAs are usually the type to say shit like "im pro-equality and that's why im not feminist", aka these poor men you're defending or maybe even you too. They also think the whole world is a matriarchy. Yeah, turns out they don't even think women in Afghanistan are oppressed, and yes I did ask. They don't think women are or were ever oppressed in general either. They are also mostly anti-abortion and even anti-no fault divorce to basically spite women.
On the other hand, feminists, yes even the KAM radfems, don't take mens rights away. Men are just mad if we also have rights, and have ALWAYS been using the same arguments against feminists. The "feminists hate men" thing was definitely popular during 1st wave feminism.
Also, essentially all of the actual polices that they say are sexism against men, are because of traditionalists, yet... it's women, specifically feminists, that are just... driving them to insanity for saying KAM at misogynists on twitter??
But good luck with the coddling these dudes though! I'm sure these men will listen to you!
Alright this is gonna be tough for alot of ya'll to hear but leftist and progressive spaces need to be more welcoming to men especially cis het white men. The more we speak bad about men the more men will go down the alt right pipeline. And obviously that's a bad thing. If we want men to be on our side we should create a space where they can also feel included because if we don't more men will go down the alt right and alpha male pipeline
