Is it nuts to think that only women can bring world peace? To me it's as obvious as the nose on my face. Let's analyze it using history and science.
Men have ruled the world exclusively for all of recorded history without any major exceptions. And the quote by Will Durant below shows how successful they have been. It is time to let the women rule. And I have little doubt that they will do a much better job than the men have. I cannot see how they would do worse?
There have been only 268 of the past 3,421 years free of war.
Will Durant (he wrote the definitive history of civilization)
For all of recorded history who has started all the wars? It has been the men with no major exceptions. It has not been the women that started the wars, it has been the men. Secondly, for all of recorded history the women have had virtually no power. Males have brutalized women (and other males ) for all of recorded history, once again with no major exceptions. Women were not even allowed to vote in the United States until 1919 because they were thought to be too stupid by males who had all the power
.As well, even as advanced as the United States was with regard to democracy the women were heavily subjugated and treated unfairly by males until just recently. But we don't need to fight off lions any more. To survive our species needs peace, world peace. And it seems abundantly clear to me we will not get that from males, but it is very likely we will get that from females.
So women have had no power to show what they could do if they were in charge. In fact my children's generation is the first generation of females in the history of civilization to have a chance to be fully self-actualized in the sense that they know that they are the equals of males, totally. And what have women done since they have become self-actualized? Today in the West more women graduate from college than men. Among some minorities it is two to one. And they are increasingly replacing men in occupations that require organization and hard work like the mortgage industry, title industry and even real estate. And politics.
And as they have risen to power, they have shown much better judgment than males when it comes to implementing and administering intelligent and humane societies that keep the children safe. This can be seen all over the world. In the West their closing in on having equality with males in politics and they are implementing laws aimed at fairness and humanity much more than the males are. In fact the Democratic women in the Senate do more to better our society, in my opinion, than all the men combined.And in Third World countries women are increasingly gaining power and as they do they are implementing more nurturing and peaceful societies.
Over 90% of the prison population in this country is men. When you go into a tough neighborhood, it is not the women you need to worry about, it is the males.
In Third World countries where they give mini grants, in many areas like countries in Central America, they have stopped giving them to the men because they just blow the money. But the women use the money responsibly and pay it back. And it is very seldom that women abuse men, but very common for men to abuse women. Of course this, as mentioned, has been the case for all of recorded history and all over the world. In fact it is still pervasive today in Third World countries like the Middle East, Africa and is as horrific as the 22 countries that still engage in female mutilation.
And what is the difference between men and women. One word, testosterone. Men like to fight. It is in their DNA. I saw an interview one time with a schoolteacher in New Guinea who had been raised traditionally and he said that when they prepared to raid another village for him it was like the night before Christmas. He couldn't wait. Or simply look at male fascination with fighting. It is not the women going to dog or cock fights.
Women are by and large much more peaceful and nurturing than men. And with the world still filled with nuclear weapons that must be done away with, the males have been complete failures.. But I'm quite sure that if women gained power they would get rid of them. And statisticians tell us if we don't get rid of nuclear weapons we will use them sooner rather than later. And even right now we are eyeball to eyeball with both Russia and China both of whom have nuclear weapons.
