In the twenty or so thousand years that men have dominated(and this is in the world outside the home) many mistakes have been done, as well as much good. You see all of us are human and we make mistakes and do good things too. We tend to run things according to our nature. This is why we have a hierarchical , warlike and work dominated society. Because men have designed it. If women ran things they would run things the way women are. There would be things that are being done today wrong that would not be done wrong. There would be things that are being done today right that would not be done right. It would be different but still run by human beings.
Men and Women. You see nature divides things into species. The sexes are part of the species. They each bring something to the species. They are a TEAM. Just like food and water. It is not wheather men or women should run things. For human beings are intelligent creatures. We differ from others in that we have a moral choice. It is not by men or by women that we should rule. It is by people: HUMAN BEINGS: of good will that we should rule. It not a matter of man or woman. For we are one. We are a team.
It is RIGHT that should rule. For both good and evil reside everywhere. That is why they are called good and evil. Because anyone can make a choise. Lets stop bickering. A species divided against itself cannot but fall. Especially in it's two component parts. Man and Women.

If it is given that men and women were created differently, with different strengths and weaknesses, then women's weaknesses would relate to the general problems in a female-dominated world. Perhaps if roles had been switched and women worked like men have historically rather than prioritizing the domestic sphere of life, then women would have micro-evolved into the physically stronger gender. Might makes right--not as a matter of my own preference but as an inescapable observation.

"men have dominated since time begun" Now theres a vast generalisation that needs some justification.
I think the problem is bigger than who the dominating group are. I think the issue is that ANYONE is dominating unfairly. If women are domnating there would still be some sort of mess, though most likely a different one. If there was equality , there would be the best world possible.
And by equality I don't mean a boring world of identical people. You can recognise difference, as long as the playing feild is fair.

Totally different patterns I would say! I mean think of the following:
- The world will spend 1/4 of the year at a cold war.
ALSO!:
- Playboy will sell much less than Play Girl
- Pimps will be replaced by chicks and vice versa.
- Woman on top will become more popular than doggy style
- Santa Claus' wife will sue him for everything and win the case.
- The President is a woman, Vice president is lesbian.
- The pope will definitely change the way things go, or he may even go to be replaced with a woman!
But seriously Its hard to tell what happens if we don't know what has changed the pattern in the first place. I what did women do to become more powerful and dominant? i mean if women all together for instance decided no sex for men... damn.. they will do it alright, but still they will all get raped! So they need to build some muscles first and wear those terrible things inside their vagina that causes injury to the penis!

Who knows. Some guy would probably be writing the same question -- "what if men had been the dominator... would we be in the mess we are now?"

Maybe we would be better, maybe worse. Evilness is inside all of us, in the same way men can be selfish we can be it as well, I dont think you are right, but I agree that we should also be allowed to take part of ruling and "domination" as you say

Is it really necessary to ask that question? The big IF. We are not programmed to dominate the earth, or be aggressors or aggitators for foolishness. We are programmed to nurture, nest and propagate the earth. Unfortunately, man is unable to do his job a or job to support us and we have to go out and work as well. And for that they make accusations at us.

Who says they haven't? Women have been influencing their men, finances, politics, wars, you name it since history began. Some of the greatest rules were female, Cleopatra, Catherine the Great, Elizabeth I. And who raised the great men of history? Men can't take all the credit or get all the blame.

Interesting idea, this, that women are more collaborative and nurturing and peaceful than men. An interesting idea that's been disproved by history.
Still, it's nice to fantasize that women are better, isn't it.
