Mao was a very evil individual. I’ve sometimes used reported quotes from him but these certainly haven’t been for anything good he ever did. More like understanding the philosophy and outlook of a brutal totalitarian regime who hurt many people.
Even more ironic in that he was known to use and exploit women even to the reported extent of mothers bringing their underage daughters to him such that they might curry favor with the regime. So he’s probably the last guy on the planet I’d look toward for human rights or women’s advocacy.
