The problem with our politicians are that they are self-serving.. If it gets them votes or benefits them in any way they will take that route. Humans have an incredible ability to make justifications... Male leaders with daughters or domineering wives are very susceptible to the pressures at home or empathy for their own. Wars have been fought, kingdoms lost and major political decisions made because of pressure from the important women in a mans life. Anyone who thinks women are the weaker sex has never been married or had daughters :-)
It was my intention to point out that radical feminist play on the cultural and biological myth that women are inherently victims. Until it's not advantageous. It's used as a way to remove all accountability. To receive preferential treatment. Throughout history it was used as a strategy to counter men's inherently greater physical strength.
I like the analogy of radical feminists as mean girls. Spot on.
Having wives or daughters doesn't justify gyno-centrism. wo-MEN are weaker in every way. However, MEN'S weakness is what pedestalizes them. King Herod could have told his wife & daughter to SHUT UP. Instead, he 'let' them incite the murder of John the Baptist.
I agree that women do do this. I think one of the reasons that it's so effective is that men line up to endulge them, and I think that you're last sentence there is indicative of this.
Mean girls engage in character assassination of others and character self promotion of themselves. It shouldn't be as effective as it is, because it's actually very easy to spot. Men however engage in the self promotion of women unfortunately to score cookie points.
Not implying that you're you're weak man or anything, but the the little nugget thrown to women to go "weaker sex my ass haha" just seems to enable mean girl behavior.
No one says stuff like this about men. No one boosts men's egos unless they've really earned it.

Agreed. There is no reason for men to encourage women to be such airheaded mean girls and yet men do it everyday.
It's buried deep in our DNA.
Women are def the weaker sex.
