I refer to Futurama for all my sociological analyses

Dean Esmay posed this topic for discussion:

Women have always been enormously powerful, throughout human history and especially in Western history. Those who fail to recognize this are guilty of misogyny.

My response comes from the episode of Futurama where the men are prisoners on the all-female planet of Amazonia:

[Scene: Outside Basketball Pitch. The group watch an Amazon bounce a basketball.]
Thog: Here stadium, where our women basketball teams play.
Kug: We no can dunk, but good fundamentals.
Ornik: That more fun to watch.
[Zapp, Fry and Bender laugh.]

Leela: Femputer, be reasonable. Sure men are annoying and they wreck up whatever planet they're in charge of. But most of these men are sorta my friends. They don't deserve to die.
Femputer: Hmm. Perhaps men are not as evil as Femputer thinks.
Thog: But they make fun women's basketball.
Femputer: What?! Did you explain how the women's good fundamentals make up for their inability to dunk?
Ornik: Yes. They still laugh.
Femputer: The men must die.
