They'd be declaring a new war every 28 days.
Enough of the PMT puns thats a pathetic stereotype argument and you know it.
Some women have lead people to peace eg Corazon Aquino
( phillipines president who lead a peaceful movement to overturn the Marcos regime )
What i should of said many of us mum would be more reluctant to send there children to war.
I can see the argugnement about some Mums eg Thatcher ect prove to a degee that my argument is flawed
I still think if you put "your average" women in power there would be more diplomacy due to less male ego Quoting: Anonymous Coward 712986
I think Dads are just as reluctant to send their kids to war, and women's egos are all the more dangerous for being underground. They seem to less aware of their egos at work, and less willing to admit when their egos are ruling the outcomes of discussions.
The female officials I have to deal with a generally much more nasty than their male counterparts.
The problem with world leadership is not gender based, but due to the difficulty of these times, and the old-touted-as-new-world-order. |

Coming from a predominatly female profession i agree some women can be downright Vicious (supposedly caring nurses ho ho)
I think some females do have big egos but in general will not so readily resort to violent conflict to achieve an outcome as they can more empathetically see the big picture therefore see the consequences on so many people.
There are far less female pschopaths than males.

I dont think many of us Mums wouild want to send our children or any one elses to war.
Nor would we want to make a our children kill
Second point they say females are better communicators Quoting: nurse 68
No i dont. Because the violence thing is not a gender thing. It is a human thing. And i have known some very cold hearted and mean and rotten women in my life.

There wouldn't be less war so much as the wars would have a clear winner and would end quicker, there would be no prisoners of war. Unlike men women do not believe there is honour or glory in war, it is something that should be finished quickly and the enemy destroyed so as never again to pose a threat. Men play at war. When women used to be soldiers they were counted as extremely bloodthirsty, the Scottish clans withdrew women from battles because apparently they didn't understand the rules of war that men played by. They killed the wounded and unarmed enemy.
it's not that women are less violent, it's that they don't think it's a game. |

I don't think it would make any difference.
Ultimately, particular social and economic conditions are correlated with warfare. When everyone has enough of what they need, it's harder to motivate a population to support a war. When people are severely lacking in fundamental needs, and attempts to solve the problem fail, it's harder to hold back from a violent solution. |

I don't truly trust when women strive for power and have a family. Instinctually a woman should put her family first (I know I would do anything to keep my kids safe and I spend as much time as I can with them). Most men do not have the nurturing side that women do. With men most things are black or white / women - now what shade of black (charcoal, jet, ebony) or what shade of white (ecru, off white, etc).
Woman can multitask better than men but men tend to really focus on the issue (good/bad for both genders).
My own experience is that most women who have achieved leadership roles are mean, nasty, vindicative backstabbers with very little compassion left. Men who have achieved leadership roles can be the same but there seems to be a switch in guys that can turn that off on private time whereas the women don't.
As a woman I wish more women in power would get the chip off their shoulder and learn it's ok to be feminine as well. |

women in general use a malicious social attack with hints , lies and insinuations as a first strike option. couple that with hell hath no fury like a woman scorned + military options. yeah that should work out just fine , every "oppresed female" on the planet would have to be saved as well. the war would be nonstop and we would be back to the stone age before you could say the three magic words. shut up bitch |

Consider Hillary as President. That should answer your question.
In general I think the female aspect is more evolved on Earth. That means that the feminine expression of goodness is very advanced but the female expression of evil reaches to the heart of darkness. |

Of course not, we're all equal, right? As a result there should be no distinction because of sex. I hope you're picking up on my sarcasm.
Unless of course, you agree that men and women are not equal, in which case I still disagree. All the fights and drama in my office are caused by women. The men just do their jobs, get along, and accept the pecking order. |

The divine feminine is lacking in most females too. Most don't love themselves unconditionally. I think a good leader would make choices that would benefit mankind, but sometimes, people can let their emotions interfere. |

BULLSHIT !~!!!!!!!!!!! Men have nurturing sides. I know i do. I hate to see anything in pain. I hate it when people hurt each other. I refuse to buy into that baboon programming men have eaten up with a big spoon. I am NOT a baboon !!
My grandmother was the strongest PERSON i have ever known out of men or women and she could have ruled this entire world fairly. She would put 99 percent of so called "men" in this world to shame. She was a very rare type of person.
Men today are nothing but charactures and clichés with no heart and no soul and NO BRAINS. They are what the tv tells them to be. baboons !!!! We were once giants of soul and spirit. We were once Renaissance men but look at us today. Too afraid to nurture. Too afraid to THINK. All we are today is reactionaries and WE THINK THAT IS MANLY !!!!!!!!!! HANK YOUR HEAD IN SHAME !

Are you serious ???
How many wars have been started by females vs males since the start of humanity
There have been plenty of female leaders that havent started wars eg
Helen Carter (ex NZ primeminister)
President Mary McAleese Irish President )
Chancellor Angela Merkel (German Chamcellor)
Prime Minister Khaleda (Yugoslavia)
President Tarja Halonen (Finland )
President Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf (Liberia)
the list could go on and on. \
The list of women leaders that have entered conflict is very short
Benazir Bhutto
Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher and
a few English queens Queen Elizebeth I Queen Mary
I am not about to list all the male leaders that have started wars the list would be too long
I think I prove the point that menstrating women arent going to start a war based on the combination of anger and female hormones
PS wasnt it a King Herrod that ordered the slaughter of all male Jewish babies in The Holy Lands in the hopes of eradicating a threat to his leadership.
I dont think you will find many women that would be prepared to do that

If there was a leader of the world vote i would vote for my grandmother.
ACtually a little secret i havent said on this board....."i believe the spirit of my grandmother is actually in the Earth itself. She is the new mother Earth. Yes her spirit was that big and strong. I will love her for all eternity. As a matter of fact she was the only woman i have ever loved. My grandmother. Till this day 16 years after her death i cant forget her and i remember her just as strong like she never died. I will NEVER forget her. She was my world. She was my everything. The ONLY woman i have ever met that truly understood men. She was a rare one.

less conflict? no.
people saying 'can't we all just get along' doesn't cut it.
when different things are important to different people...war is the result.
different religions
diferent social structures
dif. cultures
dif. values
dif. morals
dif. objectives
dif. motivations
being 'nice' doesn't solve these differences.
what causes the problems exactly?
i'm right and you're wrong. that's it. |
