Systemic oppression sucks, doesn't it.

Maybe in your country.

The UK has had three female PMs (?) and more female party leaders beginning almost fifty years ago.

We've also had multiple female heads of state (Mary I in 1553; Elizabeth I in 1559 etc ). You might argue that those are an accident of birth, but I might remind you that England has never been shy about removing less than adequate heads of state.

Tell me about your leaders who you say subjugate women.

Don't forget that the British monarch was a woman for 134 years of the last 200.

Yeah, thought I'd covered that.

Female monarchs weren't always British. 1707 was the Inception of Great Britain. Corrections welcome, my history isn't always ideal.
