Pretty sure you wont see a major movie painting Lincoln as a raging racist anytime soon.
I wouldn't bet on it. After all, there was the
film about that sad period in Lincoln's life when he persecuted the vampire community. I'm sorry, I need to be PC ... the VWM community.
Maybe theres something generally true about older men in the 60's and before. I mean there were very very few women in any kind of positions of power back then.
Uh huh.
All men in the 1960s were misogynist and there's no other explanation as to why women didn't hold power in days gone by. That's gotta be it.
The funny part, IMO, is that that's the measure. I once saw a news piece on female business owners. They focused on a woman who owned a construction company. Huh. Why did they pick that industry for their piece? Can't imagine why.
Of course that meant shooting on construction sites, and in the background you could see that all her employees were ... uh ... male. Hmm ... And not a comment from the owner about how she hoped to change that.
After I saw that, I thought it would be an interesting study to see if female-owned businesses had a more balanced gender ratio among their employees, fewer harassment claims, a lower gender pay gap, etc. I don't know if something like that's been done, but a second interesting anecdote was an NPR piece done on the women's march in 2018. They interviewed a black woman who was very critical, stating that it was not a "women's" march, but a white, rich, women's march. NPR then looked at the numbers, and they supported that claim.
My point: I doubt in the long run women leaders will prove any less gender-biased, racist, etc. than men. It will be different, but not necessarily better. That's no reason to exclude them, but I don't see that it's going to bring paradise on earth either.
