I don't normally react to this account. But I rather feel there might be another factor here that is being left unsaid.
Conflict places more of the care burden on women and girls' shoulders.
#Peace and security require more than their unpaid labor.
Women and girls must be at the heart of peacebuilding.

Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Men/boys are the large majority of combat deaths in conflicts — omitted. Boys also do care work — omitted. Saying women & girls must be “at the heart” of peacebuilding is prioritisation, not equality. Higher unpaid care ratios occur because men are dying or fighting.

Left-wing authoritarians are less likely to support physically strong men as leaders.
The University of Arkansas found that political ideology predicts how people judge male leaders based on physical strength:
- Conservatives, especially men, were more likely to support physically strong men as leaders.
- Left-wing authoritarians were less likely to do so, showing an aversion to muscular male leaders.
- Across all participants, stronger-looking men were perceived as more conservative, even though their actual politics were unknown.
Researchers suggest this reflects evolved stereotypes: strength signals dominance, hierarchy, and enforcement - values conservatives admire but egalitarian authoritarians reject.
Pick carefully.
