The people in the stampede weren't inherently aggressive jerks, they were thought to be fun people, but since they were part of the human problem and not innocent like animals, they are not without guilt or responsibility. A person doesn't have to be an aggressive asshole in the way that Derek Chauvin was to kill somebody, there is no kind of person that isn't part of the problem.

What the coronavirus has allowed all countries to become. Whether the cops recruited are male or female, the resulting police state is the same, an overrecruited and overpoliced population, no matter what the people being policed (or recruited for that matter) look like.
There are no checks and balances in a police state, what little rights people had before are considered by the police and entities that fund them to be surrendered by the people being policed.

I'd rather be unpopular/hated by all for who I am (even if it meant they didn't respect me) than popular/well liked/loved by all for something I'm not (an image of a well liked/popular person) or something I think they would like/love rather than who I really am, because then I would be living my life like a poseur and a coward.

Nobody alive was put here first, and common sense tells you that no one sex was put here first either. There wouldn't be one without the other. If you have to walk over people to get respected, you're a weak person no matter what sex you are or what you look like.

As long as people value safety/security over personal freedom, they will have no right to do anything that makes them feel safe, they will only have a right to get in line for the slaughterhouse, since they've already given up all the other rights they weren't fighting for. When someone tells someone to tell you that is what's best for you and you never question the source behind the (mis)information, that's what you end up with.
Democracy is only as good as the fight people are willing to put towards it, that was how the country got started. There has always been hypocrisy and double standards, the country was founded by slaveowners fighting for independence and freedom, and bullshit has always been the glue that held it all together, but if nobody fights then nobody has any rights, no matter what they look like.

The female Jim Jones wanted the love and support Joan of Arc had from the French, she wanted to be worshipped as a saint. Trying to be something you're not doesn't get you anything but exposed as a fraud.

Whether it's forced on people or not, there will always be a natural resistance, equal and opposite.
