I feel like we'd exchange the Elon Musks of the world for the JK Rowlings of the world, the Ronald Reagans for the Margaret Thatchers, and the Donald Trumps for the Ayn Rands.

Fairer sex my ass

The only reason you don't think women can be evil is because you're too used to the idea of women as damsels to be rescued, too childish to be a threat to anyone. This is because the patriarchy hates the idea that a woman can be competent moreso than a man, even in acts of evil.

Yupes, good old "benevolent" sexism.

Prejudice, just like the Far-Right, just with different "superior" and "inferior" groups.

Historically the best criteria for selecting people to positions of power is how little they want power, not gender or race.

(Personally I think that's because people who do not want power see it as a burden, and they do so because for them power is a great responsability towards many others - what sane individuals would ever want to be in a position were they can ruin the lives of countless people by making a mistake - and that's exactly the kind of people you want to entrust with it, not the ones for whom power is a form of ego-stroking or even a tools for personal upside maximization)
