It would probably be much safer.
In general, men are driven more by ego than women.
~Let's look at war, and how so much of it is wrapped up in macho posturing and grossly violent attempts to get the other guy to back down. The Clauswitzian notion that war is politics continued by other means is limited in that it fails to recognize how much of war is a matter of men acting on feelings of insecurity -- feelings caused in part by the actions of other men, but arising largely out of their own unrequited desires for security through total control and needs to be the most manly man among men.
Look at our culture, and how so many men today consider compromise as failure, and see men who do not operate by aggressiveness and attempts at domination as "girlie men." Look at how they consider "girlie men" to be inferior by merit of being like women, like girls.~
I don't think it would eliminate wars altogether, but it would probably prevent many of the "wrong" wars from starting in the first place as well as ending the current one.

People are people. I dont think gender really factors into it except that there is a greater chance of them being viewed as weak. That is a risk any politician runs regardless of gender though.
History has shown us time and again that women are no more or less intelligent and empathetic than men. Look at the English monarchy. Elizabeth brough the empire from the verge of ruin to the most powerful on the planet. Victoria was a figurehead who did nothing of consquence except further strip away the powers of the monarchy.
People are people, some suck some dont. Gender makes no difference.

it couldn't possibly be any worse than the last 200 years under predominately male control of the government here in the USA. As far as the rest of the world, they have already experienced life under the leadership of a woman. Everyone mentioned Margaret Thatcher....but let's not forget about Queen Elizabeth and the Queen Mother. England has been under the leadership of a woman for some time. It would be nice to give it a try here in the US. As I said, can't possible be any worse than where we are now.....and i'd go so far to put my neck on the line and say that it would probably be better.

I don't know if we should automatically conclude that the world would be much different. After all, there are individual differences to take into account and it's not fair to assume that all members of a particular gender are the same. I'm also glad that you mentioned Margaret Thatcher, because she is proof that not all women are softies.

Leaders are leaders, regardless of gender. Difficult choices have to be made, and then the leader has to stand by them. Let history be the judge.
On a lighter note wasn't it Elisabeth the 1St's who's catch phrase was off with their heads! Nice eh!

No difference... or if any difference, a much tougher place to live in... all the female leaders have been very tough customers: Margret Thatcher, Golda Meir just two examples!

i think of it may be form of neat to work out Jessica Alba celebrity as some thing different than a sprint bit warm flesh for as quickly as. yet def. they'd desire to make a action picture with Angelina Jolie or Halle Berry for specific (possibly there would desire to be 2 prezs'! that'd be supre cool)

Bearing in mind how women want to ape men and how many young girls are as violent as young men, I think we can assume that the female is deadlier than the male.

Give a woman power and God help us. This reminds me of the saying that nature gave women so much power that the law, wisely, gives them very little.

Margaret Thatcher or no, the very idea of women ruling the world is enough to make my eyes swell of with tears of joy and hope.

thanks

I've heard the saying "If women ran the world, there would be no war" - BS - How many of you have seen videos of the mothers of Hellbolah terrorists "Blessing" their sons as they were strapping bombs on their chests to go blow up innocent civilians in the streets of Israel. I guess it would all depend on the women - just like it does with the men that have been in power.
