Either he actually likes her as a leader, or he’s pointing out that simply picking someone as a leader because they are female is not a valid way to go about picking leaders. I’m in a two day argument with my racist cousin about Kamala Harris being called a “DEI hire”. A friend interjected that the category error conservatives make is to confuse the principles of DEI with using DEI as a goal. Stateless did this sort of thing constantly. The principles, like equity, or with stateless something like world peace, are unarguable unless you are a psychopathic fascist. So, they have to jump to the step of assuming something is wrong, then blame a poor implementation of DEI or government or whatever and claim that people who say they are for the principles aren’t really for the principles. By skipping over the arguments of the facts and evidence, they reveal the very reason we need DEI programs in the first place. If that’s convoluted, here’s the meme I put up that started the argument with my cousin. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/centerforinquiry/original/3X/6/9/69cbe3ea7689057a0a9f5692ba978233aa8f0a91.jpeg) ---

Women make very poor leaders overall, especially in liberal democracies. The few good female leaders throughout history have been from monarchies or empires because they can stand for things that aren’t accepted in the modern world like an ultimate descendant or a “motherland”, etc. At this point however, the idealism of that song is out of date, and DEI nonsense is seen as the only valid answer as to why we “need” to have women in office. ---

> [@thatoneguy](#): > > Women make very poor leaders overall, especially in liberal democracies. That is not only sexist, but there is no truth to it. As for DEI, that’s just another way of saying the N-word without saying it. The U.S. has been sexist and racist far too long. We don’t need racist or sexist words to describe the need for a woman and/or a person of colour as president. All we need is the fact that other countries of all economic levels have had women leaders even recently in the late 20th and early 21st century. Germany, the U.K., and now even Mexico. The U.S. needs to get with the modern age, instead of staying in a backward caveman mentality. ---

> [@thatoneguy](#): > > Women make very poor leaders overall, especially in liberal democracies. Women certainly have not generally been given the opportunity to lead. Religion continues to muzzle women today. Female genital mutilation is still practiced as a rite of passage into womanhood and a requirement for marriage in several muslim and African cultures - even though no religious text calls for such. Still, anyone who says women make very poor leaders does so out of ignorance. Certainly Margaret Thatcher was England’s doppelgänger for president Reagan - proving that women can be as conservative as men. But on a more positive note, Jacinda Ardern was a very effective leader of her country (NZ) until the anti-immigrant haters and their death threats broke her. > [@thatoneguy](#): > > At this point however, the idealism of that song is out of date, and DEI nonsense is seen as the only valid answer as to why we “need” to have women in office. Equal rights is an ideal that is never out of date. And DEI is anything but “nonsense” in a country with a 300+ year history of slavery. The most significant danger to any society is ignorance/fear of its population to positive change. ---

Having a female leader says more about the country or organization than it does about women. For example, you won’t see a female president in Russia anytime soon. ---

True enough, although it doesn’t necessarily say anything good about the country or organization. I have to disagree with the comment about Russia – far more patriarchal nations than Russia [have elected women.](https://www.statista.com/chart/3994/which-countries-have-had-a-female-leader/) Even Pakistan! ---

Positive change is usually hard to determine . Some changes are positive at first and then not at all, some changes are positive for some people and negative for others. What is for certain is that female leaders are no guarantee of improvement. ---

Certainly Margaret Thatcher was England’s doppelgänger for president Reagan - proving that women can be as conservative as men. But on a more positive note, Jacinda Ardern was a very effective leader of her country (NZ) until the anti-immigrant haters and their death threats broke her. I looked up Arden. She was good at containing Covid. The overall view of her seems to be _she was ok, but could have been better_. And yes, women are easy to break.
