Neither of whom were outside of a single standard deviation from the norm in Europe at this time.

I find the GP argument less the convincing, but I believe that women haven’t been the face of genocide and war because of lack of opportunity - But all such are historical outliers - regardless of sex.

Queen Victoria killed more people with famine than Stalin did.

The only way people can lie to themselves that women rulers have less blood on their hands is by not studying history.

Queen Victoria had a _lot_ less power than Stalin did (Stalin had virtually complete control of the entirety of the state machinery, whereas Victoria was much more of a figurehead, although certainly less so than the British monarchy has thankfully become)
