Femininity of "Mandate of Heaven"

Women and Han make no allowances for situation. You're only allowed to succeed every time; any failure is considered to be total and universal failure. 

E.g. if you lose a fight in front of your girlfriend, she will treat you as if you will lose every fight to everyone forever. She will probably jump ship to the guy who beat you up. If you win the rematch, she won't reconsider, she'll just consider you both losers. 

Bureaucrats do the same thing. Even being near a failed project is disqualifying. Women and Han do not consider the long-term result of filling a society with folk who need to spend more time on avoiding the appearance of disqualification than they do on avoiding actual failure. (&c)

With women this can be palliated. Don't let men start fights in front of women and don't let women into places where men are allowed to fight each other. However, if your whole society is like women, you're SOL. 


I suspect this is because women and Han are kinda stupid. They genuinely can't handle any discriminator that's more sophisticated than pass/fail. Women and China shouldn't be allowed out of the house unsupervised, because they're too dumb to handle wild environments. They need strictly controlled conditions. Indoor cat only; houseplant only.
