Put More Women Behind Society’s Wheel

Sioux Falls environmentalist and retired journalist Van Carter rejects testosterone-addled Charlie-Kirkism and calls for more women to help rule the world:

Now I find that there are actually people who are trying to argue that women’s right to vote should be taken away! Au contraire, I say, it is testosterone that, along with religion, has been the root cause of most of human society’s woes.  There is much evidence that the lowering of testosterone levels finally allowed civilization to develop.

So I say it is time for the next step in the evolution of civilization. Let’s reduce the factor of testosterone again. Women have been making steady inroads into the management of human affairs, but there are still too few in charge. There are too few in elected positions and too few running our business and corporate affairs.

As in all humans, there will always be despicable women. All of us can name one immediately. Yet females have proven they are easily as intelligent as males, and then add in the factor that they have been the peacemakers in nearly all our affairs. They have had to survive and negotiate the trials of testosterone throughout history. Being bigger and stronger is no longer a factor in human affairs.

Testosterone has had its day. Our world today is as ruinous as it’s ever been.

Vote for women.  Look to women to finally make a better world [Van Carter, “Testosterone Has Had Its Day…,” South Dakota Standard, 2025.12.16].

The ridiculous woman-hater’s club will insist that women’s hormones make them too emotional to make reliable decisions. But the people I see on the highway deciding to gun their engines and swerve and surge and otherwise behave erratically with racing machines of death are making bad decisions driven mostly by male hormones. The same appears true at the international level, where dudes like Tsar Vlad and King Don flex their military muscles to prop up their own masculine images. Let’s get rid of these hormonal leaders and put some more temperate people—i.e., women—in charge.
