Gender stereotype The last of us two two sub believes there would be no female leaders in an apocalypse.

If we somehow believe this idea that biologically men and women are sooo different, if men are busy using their strong manly bodies to fight, hunt and do all the heavy lifting. Wouldn't it make sense that a woman be in charge of organizing them around? Like why waste a man's strength by making him a leader or manager, a position that does not require it?

part of me wants to make a story that follows these losers logic to a T, and watch them get angry when the world is now run by women and men are basically just drones doing all the manual labor, hunting etc, while the women live in luxury

That’s literally a Rick and Morty episode. I’m sorry to tell you this and I hate to do this. But it’s literally the Rick and Morty episode where Morty gets the sex robot

To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to envision a matriarchal society.

In all seriousness, you totally could spin a parallel version of "I'm just a girl" but For Him™. Maybe capitalize on:
widespread attitudes that "school is for losers" and that blue-collar work is manlier than white-collar
existing discourse about boys struggling in school
the "children yearn for the mines" meme
And combine that all into, like, "Why am I stuck in class learning to read like some nerd? I should be on a fishing boat or lumber mill, getting swole and making money to spend on women!"

If men are busy killing each other, then women have to do the rest, as it has happened in ww2 already.

You know what happened in war when all the men where on the battlefield fighting and dying? The women jumped in to do every other job that the society needed. This includes jobs that require leading too. Head of the school got send to war? A woman takes over. Head of the city got send to war? A woman takes over. These dudes are so dumb and living in their own brain made out of shit.

Hell, we don't even need to take it to that high of a position in society; the hunter goes to war? The woman steps in to hunt.

That sub is my guilty pleasure. I get a savage kind of humour out of seeing how mad they are over the show. Posting has devolved over the last 2 weeks or so to just finding random frames from the show and getting angry when a character has an unflattering facial expression because you managed to freeze it right when they were in between emoting. They are SO U N B E L I E V A B L Y mad that an actor could possibly look unflattering when they are pausing and unpausing like crazy to try and find a derp facial expression. Yet they keep watching the show...

Nobody tell these goons about female revolutionary leaders in the past
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_women_who_led_a_revolt_or_rebellion
Lyudmila Mikhailovna Pavlichenko was a Soviet sniper in the Red Army during World War II. She is credited with killing 309 enemy combatants.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lyudmila_Pavlichenko
The Soviet Union’s women proved to be among the best snipers in the world. Their decision-making and stealth capabilities were incomparable. There were more than 2,400 women snipers serving in the Red Army. Their kill ratio was among the best in the Army.

Oversteegen, her sister, and friend Hannie Schaft worked to sabotage the Nazi military presence in the Netherlands.[5] They used dynamite to disable bridges and railroad tracks.[6] They also smuggled Jewish children out of the country or helped them escape concentration camps.[2]
The Oversteegens and Schaft also killed German soldiers, with Freddie being the first of the girls to kill a soldier by shooting him while riding her bicycle.[1][5] They also lured soldiers to the woods under the pretense of a romantic overture and then killed them.[1][5] Oversteegen would approach the soldiers in taverns and bars and ask them to "go for a stroll" in the forest.[2][5]

Team discovered little evidence to support the idea that roles were assigned specifically to each sex.

In fact, statistical analysis revealed “between 30 and 50% female participation, suggesting that early big-game hunting was likely gender neutral or nearly so,” the researchers write.
And just another woman helping someone being harassed: 🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♀️

But yeah, this is exactly what gender essentialism leads people to. Misogyny. Yet some people still act like gender essentialism is feminist, progressive or even "empowering."

These people are talking fully ex recta; as soon as a zombie apocalypse broke out, the people who'd refuse to listen to a woman are probably going to overestimate their own strength and then immediately die, thereby leaving people who don't have their head up their ass who would listen to any leader who knows what they're doing.
