What do you think of my theory: In the future, women will dominate politcs?

Question

Politics requires, above all, social skills and studies have shown that this is womens prime territory. Women know how to do things like bring down a persons confidence while pretending to bring it up, or turn an entire lunch table against an absent colleuge without saying a mean word. Women, I'd imagine, are more skilled in discerning buzz words and would have a natural advantage in figuring out the emotional truth of a situation. (Which sadly, seems to be the only truth that matters among todays voters.) Finnally, people give greater credence towards womens statements and commands, which is why so many pre-recorded messages use womens voices. I think that once the artificial barriers are removed, women will naturally rise to the top of politcs.
You may argue that men have a more analytical mind, and would be able to work out complicated problems better.(eg. the economy) But most of that work is done by the cabinet, and all the presidents does is decide whose advice to take.

Answer 1

You know that theories don't become facts right??

Answer 2

You have some really great ideas, but look at the reality, we are crushed by lies, an manipulation, how could we raise to a level where women rules....

We are already controled by women.......The Queen Matron, Leader of the Free-Masonic Order, but it is not a good thing....

“Naturally the common people don't want war; neither in Russia, nor in England, nor in America, nor in Germany. That is understood. But after all, it is the leaders of the country who determine policy, and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is to tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country.”
Hermann Göring(Nazi) 1946 Nuremberg Trials

"We are on the verge of a global transformation. All we need is the right major crisis and the nations will accept the New World Order."
David Rockefeller: Statement to the Untied Nations Business Council in September 1994

"For more than a century, ideological extremists at either end of the political spectrum have seized upon well-publicized incidents to attack the Rockefeller family for the inordinate influence they claim we wield over American political and economic institutions. Some even believe we are part of a secret cabal working against the best interests of the United States, characterizing my family and me as 'internationalists' and of conspiring with other around the world to build a more integrated global political and economic structure - one world, if you will. If that is the charge, I stand guilty, and I am proud of it." David Rockefellers memoirs (2002)

Answer 3

The said thing is the more women become involved in political issues - the more they start to act in many of the ways that men do when they achieve or attempt to achieve high public office. The same is true for women in position of leadership in corporate America. Although I do believe that the role and numbers of women in American political life is going to increase over time - woman will never dominate (meaning having a larger number) because of biological imperatives that make men and women different (primarily child-bearing). All you need to do is look at other democracies in the world that have had larger female participation in their governments that even today men still make up most of the prominent positions. Germany has now entered the list of nations that have had a female head of Government, but like all the others, women do not match let alone overwhelm the numbers of men in their respective governments.

Update - what a freakin moron that guy is that is pushing all the conspiracy theory garbage - someone know a good therapist who can deal with a moron like that? What a wack job to post all that BS.

Answer 4

There are many places in the world where women already dominate politics... so I can see this eventually coming to pass. However, and I am not being sexist -- merely making an observation -- I sincerely doubt that men are going to relinquish their power base easily or soon. And while it is true that women tend to have better social skills and social understanding, it is also true that they may be overly compassionate and not be able to do what is necessary. One the other hand, women can be excessively cruel (there is a history of truth behind "hell hath no fury...").

A shift in the gender power base of American politics would have a tremendous affect on not just American society but around the world. However, as women are just as human as men, they are just as susceptible to corruption, scandal, intrigue and power. They are usually just more subtle about it. So shifting power into women politicians hands may make no difference in the long run. After all, they would still be politicians... and every politician has an AGENDA.

Still it would be interesting to see it happen in the 'States.

Answer 5

I would think that each gender has it's advantages and disadvantages. Men are not without their unique capabilities as well, and women are not without their flaws. I have no desire to do any women bashing here- but women do tend to have a more difficult time getting a hold of their emotions. No- I think that the person with their finger on the button should rely a bit more on logic than emotions.

While your "emotional intelligence" argument is a good one- women also don't have a lock on it.

I would say that women are equally as capable as men to lead- but certainly not more so. And some of the women world leaders that come to mind have acted a lot more like the stereotypical male leaders (Maggie Thatcher comes to mind).

Answer 6

I understand where you are going with this, but you must also realize that not all women like to bring down peoples confidance. I think that men and women will be in politics. Just because most women have good social skills does not mean that we will take over poltics. We still have men in the world and they still have their voices. There for I can only think that politics will not be all turned to women.

Answer 7

I love that you're thinking about this, and I think it's great to point out the general differences in men and women. I also think there is truth to men holding women back historically because of a fear that women would naturally rise to the top if allowed to do so! But all the differences you pointed out can also be found among men only, and among women only. The fact is, even if we think, act and communicate slightly differently, males and females are basically "souls in skins," and we're all human. I think it also behooves us to look at how men can be nurturing parents, primary caregivers, etc and keep breaking down those stereotypes that all men are this way and all women are that way...and I appreciate that you're talking about it!

Answer 8

I think it is a good theory. One which I have proposed for the last 10 years. Women are less likely to send their sons and daughters into war. On the other hand they are more likely to send their husbands into war unless they get the garage cleaned and the kitchen painted. This accounts for why wars in the future if women are leaders may be fought out on the golf course with match play events followed by lots of beer and wings. The only casualties of such a war will be heart attack victims suffering from too much fat in their diets and too much beer in their guts.

Answer 9

I agree with you wholeheartedly. But having spent a 30 year career in male-dominated business as (usually) the lone woman, I must point out that it takes a LOT of women, filling up the ranks as well as being in the leadership roles, to turn the tide toward the more complex relationship skills needed to make sure that the human species doesn't extinct itself in a self-predatory paroxysm of testosterone.

For example, I was hopeful when Golda Meier was made Prime Minister of Israel, that Israel would develop relationship skills and figure out how to build common ground bridges with its neighbors to establish itself fully as a nation instead of continuing to remain on the edge of annihilation, and how to solve problems without always resorting to a fight with its neighbors, but she was alone among too many men to truly make a difference.

She did say that God had a sense of humor for giving as the "Promised Land" the only land in the middle east with no oil. I liked her for that!

Answer 10

I think that there will be a huge backlash and women and minorities will lose their grip. The problem with many women politicians is that they are only concerned with or primarily focused on women's issues. I saw this 'leader' of the feminist movement on The Colbert Report the other night. She basically said that a woman who chooses to stay at home is making the wrong choice. The extremist views of hers are distancing regular women from her cause.

Answer 11

Yes, that is a logical theory BUT u have to think: will the men accept that, most of women don't want power, and if all the leaders were women that will be peace cause their feminine parts are peaceful and do u think that peace will ever grace the earth ?
