You see, that’s the “gender goggles.” If Napoleon’s problem wasn’t being a woman, then what caused the defeat of the fleet at Aboukir? Why did he invade Russia and lose 90% of the Grand Armee? What about Waterloo?

Pause, crickets, crickets ...

Of course Napoleon had problems. There is no permanent war.

But had he been off the battlefield every two weeks, his problems would have been much worse.

Also, had Napoleon been female, he also would have risked becoming pregnant.

And then what?

The mindset of the gestating female is hardly suited for conquering Europe.

If my example of Napoleon doesn’t suit you, insert the name of any famous general, any man who won wars, any man who conquered nations.

And note, you will have to insert the name of a man, because, well, that’s who does that sort of thing.
