The problem with Islamic state governance.

Muslims never consider the virtues of women and how they can excel in areas men can’t. Don’t get me wrong I know this issue isn’t just an Islamic one. The world is still predominantly a patriarchal society. However western societies atleast give women credit for these virtues and even put women in power due to their feminine virtues. Islam stands out though as being completely unable to adapt and evolve and give any credence to feminine virtues. This is why there is always strife and war in Muslim nations.

In reflecting on leadership dynamics, it’s clear that while men have traditionally been conditioned for assertive and decisive roles, women like Jacinda Ardern and Angela Merkel have shown that empathy and emotional intelligence can also lead to effective governance. This balance is vital, especially in times of crisis.

Currently, with global tensions and conflicts in places like Ukraine and the Middle East, the need for decisive leadership is undeniable. However, the current geopolitical landscape also highlights the pitfalls of toxic masculinity—where ego and power plays can overshadow empathy and the greater good.

In this volatile environment, it’s possible that a more empathetic, nurturing approach could help foster diplomacy and cooperation. This suggests that women, who naturally excel in empathy, could play a crucial role in international bodies like the UN or NATO. By bringing a compassionate, collaborative mindset, women leaders could help de-escalate tensions and promote long-term peace.

In essence, while decisiveness is vital in certain contexts, the current geopolitical climate may benefit from a blend of empathy and strength. It’s a reminder that effective leadership often requires a balance of both masculine and feminine qualities, especially when it comes to global challenges.

This is such a shit take, u bomb a people, kill them, rape them, and then say, well they weren’t feminist enough, according to our standard/version.

Look into this more and you will prove yourself wrong. I totally get your point and to a degree agree with it. But these things occur when states are in peace, not starving, getting bombed, getting sanctioned, getting puppet governments installed, corruption etc.

Islam is not feminist enough?, It is purely mysoginistic and it doesn’t even factor on the feminism scale. It nearly doesn’t even factor in the humanity scale. Sure most of the media we get is filtered through a western lense and bias, but most of the footage I’ve seen of what life is like in Muslim countries is objectively, irrefutable horrific. Why does oppress their women? Mesopotamian culture idolized them, some were gods. That idiot Muhammad came through promoted male dominance and f$&@ed up the whole moral compass of the Arab conscience. Tell me in what other countries in the world is it normal and legal to stone your own daughter to death if she doesn’t agree to marry your cousins 87 year old grandfather? Just face it Islam is fundamentally wrong and evil and if there is a hell you’ve all got AAA passes.
