I do think the original commenter could've elaborated more, but asking for citations in this type of thread seems strange. It's not like politics where you can link to a statement from <representative of political party> to prove a point. There is no single representative of men or women.
- some_furry 1y agoNo, but this is the sort of thing you'd expect the social sciences to have published research on if it were at all true.
- pavel_lishin 1y agoFair. I guess I wanted them to explain a statement that, to me, seems both wrong and ludicrous, and basically a dogwhistle.

Yes, a quote from a party representative is not the kind of evidence called for, but “women control the culture” is a fact claim which does call for some kind of evidence (either directly provided or as a citation to someone else who has provided it.)
