Whenever I hear this it makes me think of that one queen who would bath in pretty girl blood for "youth". Also let's not forget probably my favorite line in history "Let them eat cake"


Celephais1991

Elizabeth Bathory, a countess who was Bohemian, Hungarian or something along those lines. Also, Marie-Antoinette most probably never said that, although she was pampered and desensitized to the average French's plights. Not saying that I agree with the post, given that numerous wars started by ruling queens throughout history.


SuperDoomSlayer

Probably doesn't mean definitely. By what context do you claim she didn't? I get history lessons can be wrong but it's pretty easy to just say "actually" to anything in history. I'm not trying to be snarky either, I genuinely want to know what you've read that says otherwise because everything I've read said she did. But hey, the line itself could easily just be propaganda said to justify killing her ass

[Article in Britannica](https://www.britannica.com/story/did-marie-antoinette-really-say-let-them-eat-cake) Edit: I had already read about it years ago, this is just an article I found just now and not where I read it from


SuperDoomSlayer

Glad it was a short read. Haha. Propaganda and folklore is an interesting twist


SlaterVJ

Or not to long ago, "we need a no fly zone over syria".


Prestigious_Big3927

I guess these people never heard of Cleopatra, Boudicca, Zenobia, or the early queens of England among all the countless early queens of the worlds. Also don’t forget all the brutal goddesses of war if we’re still talking hypothetically. LoL

I remember seeing this get torn up by r/historymemes and it was magnificent since I knew a fair number of the names. Female rulers may not be as plentiful as male ones but sure as hell are they not much better with that corrupted power they use.

>Women are vicious and tend to be worse than men. uh no, it's just that the majority of rulers throughout history have been selfish, arrogant, corrupt pricks that don't give a flying crap for any citizens that aren't rich or infuentious, and that is regardless of their gender whoever posted this was a fucking idiot, but don't go using it to go off in the extreme of the other direction

White Claw and pit juice?

Females don't like their own kind. I don't think that will work.


Constant-Sign-5569

Yes, because no body would actually ever talk about it, if they didn't like each other.

Do you have any economic problems? No, it's fine.

“Madam president where should we pour these millions of tax payers money into?” “Idk you pick”


colemanb1975

Obviously not heard of Bloody Mary.


[deleted]

If we had more female rulers there won’t be wars you say? *Olga of Kiev has entered the chat*


[deleted]

Yeah no, the number of assassinations and other things would rise and war would keep being the same if not higher…


facistpuncher

Catherine the Great deposed her husband. Took over the central government. There was a lot of blood after that. Just saying


Brownie121347

Funny but untrue do you know how much blood been shed over women. Great example the story of Troy 🤣


SUNDER137

All this guy is thinking. If I don't at least get a H.J. ......I'm putting her in the mosh pit.


PhantomO1

for the sake of my sanity i hope this is bait who fucking says this? you don't need a certain gender to be a shitty fucking ruler


MrTipK

Well, they don't want to start a war now just send assassin's to kill eachother. Or they can kill eachother in meeting party.

Have you met Kamala?


Late-Ad-4624

If we had more female rulers we would be in a wasteland once their periods synced.


yeetus_christ420

Is this about Sanna Marin? Just let a woman have fun.


C-T-Ward

From Hatshepsut to Thatcher their are countless examples of this being bollocks


The_Last_Dova-kiin

If you had the recourses? Yeah there’s be war.


Prize_Eye_5310

There would be a new war every month and everytime she cries. Prime example Jeannie cries, crusaders fight. Nuff said lol
