If women 'ran the world', would we have an end to war?

Question

The actor that plays the mother in Mrs Doubtfire recently expressed that idea. Do you think it has any merit?
Arent women more vindictive and spiteful in general? More emotional and capricious?
I think we would have more conflicts, but I would love to hear some other thoughts.

Answer 1

I don't think we would have as much war.
No woman wants her son to be put on the front line.
Men, by nature, are competitive in a physical fighting sort of way.
Women, by nature, complain more, but don't "fight" it out. And, women just love to "talk" things over until there is a final conclusion.
They would spend all of their time talking instead of actually getting to the "fight."

Answer 2

first of all Women do ...'Run" the world & historically we have always been responsible for cleaning up after the mess that Men have made of it.
War is fought to gain "power" or control over resources.
Women don't need to wage war because they already have the "power" per say over procreation.
"IF" women decided as a united front world wide to refuse to repopulate each time men killed each other in war until there was world peace...that is a very "powerful" thing.
No more babies...no more Fresh batches of soldiers for each generation of men to send to war.

Or
Perhaps if women as a whole decided that they would "control" the population it would have a devastating effect on "Men"
Imagine this scenario:
Women can wipe the slate clean so to speak in 1-2 generations
By Limiting the population growth of men/boy babies... those that are allowed to be born are used as "sperm banks"
Those boys & men are taught from birth to live in peace.
Any men/boys demonstrating unstable behavior (desire to wage war) are eliminated from the gene pool.
Before you get all worked up..consider this
Is this scenario any worse than the genocidal War based political structures that "men" are currently "controlling"?

BTW I had to chuckle when you characterized "Women" as
Vindictive,Spiteful,Emotional(as if having emotions is a negative) and Capricious....hummm do you mean as opposed to the Homicidal, psychotic behavior of Men engaged in WAR?
Pick yer poison
said EVE


p.s.
To "William B" ...need I say more about the IQ of some "men"
then to point to your illustration about 'Gandhi"- who you claim was a "Woman" -
First he was a MAN and was a major political and spiritual leader of India and the Indian independence movement. He was the pioneer of Satyagraha—the resistance of tyranny through mass civil disobedience, firmly founded upon ahimsa or total non-violence—which led India to independence and inspired movements for civil rights and freedom across the world.

Answer 3

Robin Williams has never said anything serious in his life, except during Comic Relief.

On of the rulers of India was a woman name Gandhi. During her tenure, India developed the Nuclear Bomb, Invaded Sri Lanka, and invaded Pakistan. The nation of India is the second largest nation in world by population.

Women leaders are no different then Male leaders. Both have the same goal, POWER.

Answer 4

Definitely. Did you know American Indian tribe males had to get permission from the females to go to war? Wise move.

Men are wired for revenge and only think in the moment for the most part. Females' train of though is in the future/past and can realize the consequences more. Nor would we send our children to fight over property, pride, nation or religion. Those are never as important as life itself.

Answer 5

i think the war would have ended a long time ago, if ever really happening at all. I think woman can be more level headed and take on any challenge that comes their way. Woman give life, and men seem to take it for granted. If we have a woman president it can't be any worse than George. Can it?

Answer 6

Yes. Haven't men screwed things up long enough? Throughout history men have been the main reason behind all the chaos, mayhem and anarchy in the world. They commit 87% to 92% of all crimes and 94% of the most heinous crimes. Tell you anything? Plus in the news when we hear and see about tragic, violent raping of women, then their bodies are found in some remote field or ravine, who is always behind this savage act? Need I spell "it" out for you?

They don't think properly and quite frankly, I'm sick of them all.

Slob trouble makers.

Answer 7

Womens roles have been as caretaker and nurturer....men have started the wars since the beginning of time...so hmmmm what makes more sense...to let men continue with what they are doing until we are all just doomed or let women resume their rightful place as leaders

Answer 8

No. I wouldn't say that they are more vindictive & spiteful (it sounds like you have some personal problems with someone), but they can be just as mean as men. No difference.

Answer 9

I would like to think so, but I would have to say no.
