Quick observation:
The Walking Dead had Grady Memorial Hospital, Alexandria and The Commonwealth all run by women and they were not perfect communities by any means. I think it was smart writing to show that having women in leadership is not the cure-all people think it would be. Women are just as capable of being evil, ignoring the suffering of others and being power hungry to the detriment of the communities they serve or claim to serve. I think about Dawn, Deanna and Pamela Milton and the impact of the decisions they made. Dawn and Deanna are more fresh in my mind as I don't rewatch season 11 often. But it is a fresh hell to have a woman in leadership who turns a blind eye to sexual violence and another who allowed a man to physically abuse his wife and children due to being a "gifted surgeon".
