Fantasy is great, but trying to get other people to live in a fantasy world of someone else’s choosing is, well, non-reality-based.

Thank you for finally calling a stop to this female supremacy hoopla. People are people and some people (male or female) have better skills in some areas than other people. No woman or man is qualified to lead or rule based solely on their gender, color, political affiliation etc. It’s just such an asinine idea. I’m sure there are many women who are qualified leaders but it has nothing to do with her gender.

Your distinction between superiority and supremacy is just a semantic one. Once you acknowledge superiority, supremacy is naturally to follow. Your examples of detestable supremacists illustrates this point well. If one truly believes they are a superior being then why shouldn’t they believe they have the right to reign supreme? It calls to mind the divine right of kings. It’s a dangerous idea.

Also, your criteria for determining who is superior seems to be arbitrary. Why are those points you made to be the only criteria? It seems you have cherry picked female traits as desirable and then used those same female traits as proof that females are superior. Thanks for the dose of circular logic.

Overall, I think you wrote a fairly level headed piece, particularly the ending. There are men and women who believe it is desirable to teach male inferiority and female superiority to children. I have a word for that – child abuse. Teaching a male child that he is inferior from birth will give that boy no chance to grow up and fulfill his potential and it makes me sick. Teaching girls that they are the superior gender will raise a nation of tyrannical women. Put them together and you could just get your female supremacist society and it will be every bit as oppressive towards men, even more so I think, than anything women have been subjected to in the past.
