Indeed, but it doesn't disprove thousands of years of nurture that has reinforced the rule. I totally think that if we survive the next thousand years everything may very well work itself out, but this is not the next thousand years so I'm not holding my breath.

Yeah totally. Most of democracy has been an exercise in the establishment hoodwinking the populace into believing they matter, at least more than they actually do.

Too bad your parents were so traditional (nobody cares that your mother is a lesbian). Or else there might be one less working class Irish cretin.

Way to go back thousands of years to find a civilization of note that had a woman leader. Was there even a woman pharaoh besides Nefertiti? Regardless,
at least 99% of human history ****s on your supposition. You know full well that this is true, unless you want to start repping MRA nonsense. And Nefertiti still never held a vote of any sort for the populace I'm assuming.
Humans are simply the smartest dumb animals.
