I can name hundreds of great men, a lot of them contemporary even
but I can't think of a single great woman
pic related sansa is a great fictional woman

They do, but only in highly limited numbers compared to men.

well where do we start there's Alexander (the great) Alexander (hamilton) Alexander (pope) etc etc

If you're including impact on fields of study, Marie Curie should probably be included, and there are several other female scientists and mathematicians who probably qualify. They are at least as important as Magnus Carlsen, if that's the bar. It's also important to not that in terms of academia women were at a distinct disadvantage for much of history, as they did not have access to the same education as men most of the time. I guess that's also true of other "great men" roles, like the military and statesmanship.

Masculinity cannot exist without femininity. On its own, masculinity has no meaning, because it is but one half of a set of power relations. Masculinity pertains to male fragility and faux showmanship behind greater strength.

It's stupid to say there aren't ANY women who greatly influenced the world/history.

But first we must ask: what is a woman? ‘Tota mulier in utero’, says one, ‘woman is a womb’. But in speaking of certain women, connoisseurs declare that they are not women, although they are equipped with a uterus like the rest. All agree in recognising the fact that females exist in the human species; today as always they make up about one half of humanity. And yet we are told that femininity is in danger; we are exhorted to be women, remain women, become women. It would appear, then, that every female human being is not necessarily a woman; to be so considered she must share in that mysterious and threatened reality known as femininity. Is this attribute something secreted by the ovaries? Or is it a Platonic essence, a product of the philosophic imagination? Is a rustling petticoat enough to bring it down to earth? Although some women try zealously to incarnate this essence, it is hardly patentable. It is frequently described in vague and dazzling terms that seem to have been borrowed from the vocabulary of the seers, and indeed in the times of St Thomas it was considered an essence as certainly defined as the somniferous virtue of the poppy

If today femininity no longer exists, then it never existed.
>>
>>1349697
But does the word woman, then, have no specific content? This is stoutly affirmed by those who hold to the philosophy of the enlightenment, of rationalism, of nominalism; women, to them, are merely the human beings arbitrarily designated by the word woman. Many American women particularly are prepared to think that there is no longer any place for woman as such; if a backward individual still takes herself for a woman, her friends advise her to be psychoanalysed and thus get rid of this obsession. In regard to a work, Modern Woman: The Lost Sex, which in other respects has its irritating features, Dorothy Parker has written: ‘I cannot be just to books which treat of woman as woman ... My idea is that all of us, men as well as women, should be regarded as human beings.’ But nominalism is a rather inadequate doctrine, and the antifeminists have had no trouble in showing that women simply are not men. Surely woman is, like man, a human being; but such a declaration is abstract. The fact is that every concrete human being is always a singular, separate individual. Some years ago a well-known woman writer refused to permit her portrait to appear in a series of photographs especially devoted to women writers; she wished to be counted among the men. But in order to gain this privilege she made use of her husband’s influence!
>>
>>1349707
Women who assert that they are men lay claim none the less to masculine consideration and respect. I recall also a young Trotskyite standing on a platform at a boisterous meeting and getting ready to use her fists, in spite of her evident fragility. She was denying her feminine weakness; but it was for love of a militant male whose equal she wished to be. The attitude of defiance of many American women proves that they are haunted by a sense of their femininity. In truth, to go for a walk with one’s eyes open is enough to demonstrate that humanity is divided into two classes of individuals whose clothes, faces, bodies, smiles, gaits, interests, and occupations are manifestly different. Perhaps these differences are superficial, perhaps they are destined to disappear. What is certain is that they do most obviously exist.
>>
>>1349709
If her functioning as a female is not enough to define woman, if we decline also to explain her through ‘the eternal feminine’, and if nevertheless we admit, provisionally, that women do exist, then we must face the question “what is a woman”?
>>
>>1349710


To state the question is, to me, to suggest, at once, a preliminary answer. The fact that I ask it is in itself significant. A man would never set out to write a book on the peculiar situation of the human male. But if I wish to define myself, I must first of all say: ‘I am a woman’; on this truth must be based all further discussion. A man never begins by presenting himself as an individual of a certain sex; it goes without saying that he is a man. The terms masculine and feminine are used symmetrically only as a matter of form, as on legal papers. In actuality the relation of the two sexes is not quite like that of two electrical poles, for man represents both the positive and the neutral, as is indicated by the common use of man to designate human beings in general; whereas woman represents only the negative, defined by limiting criteria, without reciprocity. In the midst of an abstract discussion it is vexing to hear a man say: ‘You think thus and so because you are a woman’; but I know that my only defence is to reply: ‘I think thus and so because it is true,’ thereby removing my subjective self from the argument. It would be out of the question to reply: ‘And you think the contrary because you are a man’, for it is understood that the fact of being a man is no peculiarity. A man is in the right in being a man; it is the woman who is in the wrong. It amounts to this: just as for the ancients there was an absolute vertical with reference to which the oblique was defined, so there is an absolute human type, the masculine.
>>
>>1349712
Woman has ovaries, a uterus: these peculiarities imprison her in her subjectivity, circumscribe her within the limits of her own nature. It is often said that she thinks with her glands. Man superbly ignores the fact that his anatomy also includes glands, such as the testicles, and that they secrete hormones. He thinks of his body as a direct and normal connection with the world, which he believes he apprehends objectively, whereas he regards the body of woman as a hindrance, a prison, weighed down by everything peculiar to it. ‘The female is a female by virtue of a certain lack of qualities,’ said Aristotle; ‘we should regard the female nature as afflicted with a natural defectiveness.’ And St Thomas for his part pronounced woman to be an ‘imperfect man’, an ‘incidental’ being. This is symbolised in Genesis where Eve is depicted as made from what Bossuet called ‘a supernumerary bone’ of Adam.
>>
>>1349713
Thus humanity is male and man defines woman not in herself but as relative to him; she is not regarded as an autonomous being. Michelet writes: ‘Woman, the relative being ...’ And Benda is most positive in his Rapport d’Uriel: ‘The body of man makes sense in itself quite apart from that of woman, whereas the latter seems wanting in significance by itself ... Man can think of himself without woman. She cannot think of herself without man.’ And she is simply what man decrees; thus she is called ‘the sex’, by which is meant that she appears essentially to the male as a sexual being. For him she is sex – absolute sex, no less. She is defined and differentiated with reference to man and not he with reference to her; she is the incidental, the inessential as opposed to the essential. He is the Subject, he is the Absolute – she is the Other.’
>>
>>1349713
The category of the Other is as primordial as consciousness itself. In the most primitive societies, in the most ancient mythologies, one finds the expression of a duality – that of the Self and the Other. This duality was not originally attached to the division of the sexes; it was not dependent upon any empirical facts. It is revealed in such works as that of Granet on Chinese thought and those of Dumézil on the East Indies and Rome. The feminine element was at first no more involved in such pairs as Varuna-Mitra, Uranus-Zeus, Sun-Moon, and Day-Night than it was in the contrasts between Good and Evil, lucky and unlucky auspices, right and left, God and Lucifer. Otherness is a fundamental category of human thought.
>>
>>1349719
Thus it is that no group ever sets itself up as the One without at once setting up the Other over against itself. If three travellers chance to occupy the same compartment, that is enough to make vaguely hostile ‘others’ out of all the rest of the passengers on the train. In small-town eyes all persons not belonging to the village are ‘strangers’ and suspect; to the native of a country all who inhabit other countries are ‘foreigners’; Jews are ‘different’ for the anti-Semite, Negroes are ‘inferior’ for American racists, aborigines are ‘natives’ for colonists, proletarians are the ‘lower class’ for the privileged.

She literally redacted all the funding of a plan to truly westernise the Beiyang army (which in theory could've easily been accomplished and thus made China at the time a stronger military power than Japan by fourfold) into construction for fucking huge palatial vistas that is the summer palace. If it wasn't for her stupid bullshit and lack of ability to choose an unifying heir, China would've been spared so much plight that was to come for the next century, Wu Zetiang was perhaps the only historical 'great' female Chinese head of state

Not saying they can't be. I'm saying they're dumbasses if they are. As the political climate stands now, most social conservatives either do not care for or don't care about women in power.

Sorghaghtani Beki is a truly great woman.

When her husband died she refused the mongol custom of marrying the successor. She refused Ogedei and his son but always avaible to him for advice.

Instead she retired to her appanage playing politics. She was adamant about teaching her children to read, she taught them the value of their peasantry, she taught them how to play politics and got them powerful alliances.

Her eldest son became Great Khan, her second eldest Founded the Yuan and became Great Khan and her third child founded the Ilkhanate. (fuck ariq boke)

Not really. As much criticism as he gets, I'd say Obama is in the upper fortieth percentile of presidents if we were rank them from best to worst. Still, I wouldn't say he's been "great." I'd settle for "good."

Yes.

But chances are we may never know as they were probably disguised as men.

Most of her men were killed because she did not tell Jon Snow she had the nights of the Veil. Jon Snow made the right strategic call with the information he had, if she had told Jon many fewer men would have died.

There were quite a few of the Roman upperclass that were literally puppets to their deceitful court-minded mothers and wives.

Anyone who claims the trained parrot called Marion is a "great woman" on par with Isabella of Spain is clearly trolling.
It's probably fair to compare her to Joan of Arc since I suspect she must have been some idiotic, easily-manipulated figurehead too.

Theodora
Irene of Athens
Zenobia of Palmyra
Elizabeth I
Cathrine the Great

Of the top of my head but yeah, sure, there have been significantly fewer "great" women than men in history, partially but not exclusively because society didn't raise them to do stuff that was "great".

I'm Irish so I think they're complete bastard spawn of satan whores but Eliabeth 1 and Victoria were great women. Besides that there's Sappho who's pretty based, Catherine the great of Russia (inb4 horsefucker), Jean D'Arc, Isabela of Castile, Hypatia of Alexandria and so on. Definitely underrepresented among the greats of history though, the list of great men is waaay longer

Destroyed Britain as an industrial centre and set the stage for them to be destroyed as a financial centre 20 years later by empowering the conservative party.

Actually, when you put it that way she's not so bad. She helped destroy perfidious Albion once and for all.
