(Dmytro “Henry” Aleksandrov, Headline USA) Robert Downey Jr. said during one of his latest interviews for the movie Oppenheimer that the world “should be a matriarchy” because he thinks that only men start wars, despite the historical evidence that proves otherwise.
“I was curious if you took away any, like, commentary on patriarchy and war?” the interviewer from the Associated Press asked.
Downey Jr. enthusiastically responded to the baiting question by providing an “unpredictable” answer from a Hollywood actor.
“Men start wars and the entire planet should be a matriarchy. But I’ve never changed position on that,” he said, adding that participation in the filming of the movie became “just” his “triple confirmation” of his pro-feminist ideology.
Twitter users who are familiar with world history responded to nonsensical comments from Downey Jr.
“Women have started wars. War-mongering female leaders can be found throughout history and across the globe, from Boudicca to Catherine II of Russia to Ranavalona I, the ‘Mad Queen of Madagascar,'” one person wrote in response to another user’s comment.
Another person went as far as to say that women in power are actually worse than men, citing evidence from the past.
“Once they get power they will kill everything to keep it. What we’ve seen with the militant woke movement has been started and pushed by women mostly,” the person wrote.
Others pointed out that Downey Jr.’s comments are not based on historical reality.
“Dude needs to actually read history. Elizabeth I, Victoria, Catherine the Great, Maria Theresa, Wu Zetian, etc. These rulers are among the most famous female monarchs of all time and none had a reign that could be described as ‘peaceful,'” the user wrote.
Another Twitter user took a crack at a biological perspective.
