But they don't. Which is my point--people like you assert this is the case, so that when stuff is shitty, you can say things like 'well, the men are in charge, so if it's bad, it's men's fault', and in turn imply that women have zero agency in society and exist as nothing more than victims. You seem not to realize how deeply misogynistic it is to infantilize women this way, not to mention misandrist as well.
99.9% of men have no 'ruling' power whatsoever--they're in the weeds right alongside the 99.9% of women who also don't. To categorize either sex as 'the ruler' in American or any Western society is absolutely ridiculous.
The majority of US voters are women. If all of the women voted for the same candidate, that candidate would be guaranteed to win, every time.
But all of the women didn't do that, did they? Well, guess what? Neither did all of the men.
Well over thirty million women voted for Trump. Stop stereotyping the sexes and acting like they're hiveminds, it's plainly sexist bullshit.
Face it: the blame for any societal ill does not belong to one sex.
