Would the world be a better place if it was ruled by women?

Answer 1

21 days out of the month it would be a better place.

Answer 2

It could be, but I couldn't really tell you, as there aren't really any previous examples of this through history to draw conclusions from. However, I can't really see how it could be overly different seeing as in the past males were leaders more often due to certain instincts (although in many cases the women were oppressed). So for females to take a majority of ruling roles, they would quite possibly take on some male traits that are specific to ruling a country etc and so the world may not be significantly different.

We'll just have to make a new country with all women in the leading roles to find out.

Answer 3

Women (and men) who think the world would be different if women ruled it ultimately fail to promote equality.

Men and women cannot be 'equal' if either side insists they are superior. Women have the same faults as men (pride, vanity, arrogance, self-riteousness, etc etc etc) and the same virtues (courage, self-sacrifice, honor, loyalty, faith, etc etc etc). As such, they are prone to making the exact same mistakes as men, and for the very same reasons.

Initially the world might be a 'better' place, but the same faults that caused the world to be run badly by men would eventually dominate a female-ruled world. Imbalance is imbalance, no matter which gender is tipping the scales.

Answer 4

No women were not made to rule the only time they do is when men arent being real leaders and then there is a void created and women want to take the lead but from the begining that was not how it should be and its still not. The world is not messed up because men lead it its messed up because of sin in the earth.

Answer 5

We had a woman pm once... look what happened!! (thatcher)
Women are less aggressive(at the moment) so it would be interesting to see their approach to solving problems without wars?
But i think in general with a woman's instinct and maternal ways, then yes the world could be a better place?

Answer 6

I don't think it would be i am a women and a firm believer in women can do things just as good as men if not better. But i do not think if it came doen to it a women could give orders to destroy another country filled with children we have to kind hearts.

Answer 7

The majority of women that have run countries have been responsible for taking them to war. Even those that achieve high powered positions in the government seem to be inclined to war, take Madeleine Albright and Condoleeza Rice for example

Answer 8

YES YES YES!!!
Women are less aggressive and far more likely to try to resolve issues by any means other than war.
I think we would also have considered legislation rather than the knee-jerk stuff we are all so aware of, which I am sure would make us all happier and freeer.
Not sure what happened with Thatcher; Bad hormones I assume!

Answer 9

How often do woman fight with their female friends compared to men and their male friends? If woman ruled the world it would be beat down city!

Answer 10

A world without men? Hmm, good idea:
We would have less wars, as most wars are started by men.
We would have less women abuse, as most women abusers are men.
We would have less abused children, as most child abusers are men.
We would have less rape, as most rapists are men.


So yes, I think the world would be a better place! Butg then again, I would be damn bored without men as there are some good, nice, decent specimens walking around.
