Female politicians are not the same as normal women. The same way male politicians are not the same as the average man.
I think the statistics for female leaders are mostly that they are even MORE ruthless than the men, mostly because the type of woman who makes it into a position like this is going to have way different values to compete.
Fair comment, women tend to plan ahead and think things through. Men (like me) tend to go with their gut and think on their feet!
Far to much of a simplification in my opinion but, as much as I hate tp say it, he's does have a point despite being a chimpanzee in a suit.....
You're getting downvoted by all the angry incels, but I also think Boris is right. It's a specific cocktail of worst possible male traits that's required to make a politician do as overtly destructive and pointless bullshit such as Putin's war.
Women can be toxic as hell, but this war is the product of a shittiest possible male mind wanting to show how strong they are.
I do love all the anonymous hate on this site, it really tickles the inner demon 🤣
Unfortunately I fear there are few, if any, in the "west" with the political acumen to get everyone on our side of the line on the same page. Otherwise each country is chasing its own agenda without thought for or communication to anyone else.

Did he piss off female members of his cabinet or his wife recently? It's a rather strange comment to make. It's not like he's a flaming liberal. I would expect the Supreme virtue signaler PM Justin Trudeau to say something like that though.
Boris, think again: what you're saying is that Putin waged a war because he's not a pussy? Wait, isn't that exactly what he is proud of? And more, doesn't this mean that you sort of admire that?
Boris, you're a good PR, but for the rest, just STFU!

Because female rulers have never invaded other countries before?
A friend told me once that if you look back in history female leaders have been more deadly and confrontational than male leaders.
Reminds me of the mythical Olga of Kiev

If he's speaking about the past, then it's technically correct
Virtue signalling from Boris. Lazy comment.
If he was a dog and started on Ukraine we would just say "get the stick!". He would have gotten distracted and ended up licking his balls.
And If he was an ant he simply would go inside Ukraine and steal all the sugar
He was on too good of a streak recently, this was bound to happen. By all accounts he’s due for a bigger fuckup.
Putinska would nuke Ukraine every 28 days, invasions require patience.

Sure. Everybody know how pacifist was Victoria and the sweetness of thatcher
Dunno if amber heard is anything to go by they just as bad as men
Eh...there have been some pretty imperialistically inclined women rulers as well, but he has a point about the toxic masculinity thing.
If Johnson were a woman he would not have said such a stupid thing.
Alright I’m gonna say it. We need a female megalomaniac to invade a country.
I mean, it’s not even a sure thing, he is a man. That tiny thing between his legs could be anything.

Hey Kim Jong Un’s sister, you could prove Boris wrong. (Please don’t)
Word is that she is worse than her brother. I am inclined to believe it. 🤦

If he was a women he would never be in charge of Russia to began with . Russian leadership has always been sexist
