But even if it is a posing "threat" to motivate other kingdom leaders to be proactive in enforce rules to make their kingdom more "female friendly". Why would that be bad?
Our lives our run by all levels of threats. Where there's a crime committed, there's a threat of arrest. Where rules are broken there's a threat of punishment. Limit competition there's a threat of domination. ect, ect. Leaders of kingdom's right now face threats everyday to make changes in other areas or risk losing members or at at worse case senario... totally falling apart.
I would agree though, that the very fact that it is "perceived" as a threat says it all right there. The real question then is: Why does it feel threatening?

I believe I wasn't exactly clear; by "threat", I referred to the implied "If things don't change, we're making a female kingdom" (which is in and of itself a threat/ultimatum by definition - I'm not referring to the degree that it threatens in this case, only the fact that that statement is a threat by definition).
As for why it would feel threatening to some kingdoms? They would worry about losing their female members. Still, it does not change the fact that some of the other kingdoms may have needed a wake-up call? I don't know what the situation in other kingdoms is, exactly; all I know is that in Dustari, I give capable people (male or female) rights/positions they deserve. There was a time when I universally gave minimal rights, and now I universally give more than minimal rights, again to those who are capable and deserve them.
