Wars There World Ruled Women If

Interesting thread dbackers. I think there would be wars, oh for sure. I think probably the motives of the war could be different or the way it is handle but I have no doubts in my mind that there would be wars.

If Women Ruled The World Would There Be Wars? History & Civil Business Politics

Two points...

1. Based on your quote shouldn't it be "If Mothers Ruled..." rather than just "Women"?

2. Isn't this the same as the Topic we have listed, A World Of Only Women?

Wars There World Ruled Women If

I probably should have been more concise, but I thought it was an interesting question from Sally field.

"A world of only women" is asking if there were only women would the world be better. I am asking if the there would be War if the Feminine was more dominate in world politics then the Masculine. I believe there is an important distinction in the question of a world without women and a world where women are dominate.

Wars There World Ruled Women If

Okay, well given the nature of Mankind which is the same as Womankind I would say the outcome would eventually be the same. Actually, just because we see the men fighting it doesn't mean there aren't women behind it or even instigators of it.

Now if the question is about mothers I am not as sure, but the outcome I believe would gravitate towards the same: war, because then the excuse would be to fight for their children.

If Women Ruled The World Would There Be Wars?

I would probably say that there would be more wars!
Maybe not as long term as they are at the moment, but I think they would flare up over 'smaller' issues than they do at the moment!
I don't think we'll ever find out, but I think women can play as dirty as the next man.

If Women Ruled World There Wars Politics Business Civil & History

There would probably be the same number of wars over roughly the same things. Numerous countries have had female rulers that could be described as warmongering or indifferent to their people; Queen Ann, Queen Victoria, Cathrine the Great, the list goes on.

Example: In 1982 Margaret Thatcher sent British Forces to take back the Falklands after Argentina invaded. She didn't try to reason with them or compel them with heartfelt emotion, she sent in the military to kick their butts out.
