    Do you have a source for that? Your claim is suspiciously close to incel talking points and seem to contradict a lot I’ve seen about the amount of trust people have in the word of a woman compared to that of a man. I’d like to know if you are correct, but as it stands I’m doubtful.

      “All of history’s greatest assassins have been women.”

      Quote from Destroy All Humans!.

        I don’t think that supports the claim at all. It might as well be due to women being seen as insignificant and incapable, not necessarily trustworthy or worth listening to. I don’t doubt that societal views of women could make them better assassins or spies, but that it should be due to mans inherent want to listen and believe them seems dubious to me.

          It’s a quote from a video game.

          Of course it doesn’t support the claim, lol. That was the point :)

          The fuck is a ‘great’ assassin, anyways? How do you measure that? Kill count? Kill quality? Not getting caught? That would immediately hurt anyone who is known. Lol.

            Aah sorry, I responded a bit too quickly there :) I’d excuse it by nearing my stop with the train, but I should have read it through.

            Yeah, I think the greatness of an assassin is quite subjective in the end and might be more of a vibe with arguments for it than any concrete metric.
