Robert Downey Jr. Declares World Should be ‘Run by Women’

Iron Man? Nah, more like Iron Woman, if Robert Downey Jr. had his way.

The actor, who not only played Marvel’s Iron Man but also stars as U.S. Atomic Energy Commission chairman Lewis Strauss in Oppenheimer, declared in a recent interview with the Associated Press that the “patriarchy” starts wars and that the “entire planet should be a matriarchy.”

“Men start wars and the entire planet should be a matriarchy,” Downey said. “But I’ve never changed position on that… This was just a triple confirmation.”

Oof.

Apparently the actor needs to brush up on his history considering there have been numerous female leaders who instigated wars and invasions, all throughout history. Some of those women include Catherine the Great of Russia, Isabella I of Spain, and the Empress Dowager Cixi of China.

Shoot, even modern day women are just as ruthless as men, if not more ruthless. Even I, as a woman, know that the planet would not be better off being run by women.

Although, I suppose this information isn’t a shock coming from Downey considering he praised President Joe Biden during the 2021 World Economic Forum event, in which he claimed that Biden will bring the U.S. “back to principle.”

Oppenheimer — which is set to open July 21 — is a film depicting the development of an atomic bomb, with focus on  the work by J. Robert Oppenheimer (Cillian Murphy) on the Manhattan Project.

The movie is directed by Christopher Nolan, and cast includes A-list actors like Downey, Jr., Emily Blunt, Matt Damon, Florence Pugh, Rami Malek, and Kenneth Branagh.

  • so Robert is a typical moron that thinks that since he spends his life acting like he is somebody else that he should be able to tell others how to think. In reality people like him have a mental ailment that pushes them to live in fantasy land because they have a problem facing reality. Then they make ignorant statements that have absolutely nothing to support them and act like they know more than everyone that is not living in a deluded fantasy land.

  • My mother used to say the same thing in the 60’s. Then, Golda Meir was elected and started the Yon Kippur War. So, watch what you wish for.

  • I have no problem with that! Some of the finest officers I worked with in the Navy were female and as a cop and deputy I knew my female officers would be on the way and would kick ass!

  • Downey Jr. is most likely a momma’s boy since his father wasn’t known to be much of a father.
    Matriarchy cannot work as “most” women think by illogical emotion in controversial issues, not by looking at tactics and strategy for outcome by sequential logic.

    (We all know there are women who are ruthless in business, but not much in violent defense issues.)
    They are not hardwired to attack when necessary and the only times they would defend is from maternal instinct.

  • we left our education system to women and look how screwed up that is, this guy needs to get a pair
