Thoughts?
Yeah, well, ever since I got married I have insisted that with women in charge, there would never be any wars. They would never let their kids go
sacrifice themselves just to settle an argument with another country's leader,
in the name of patriotism.
Let all the testosterone stuffed male make it out on the street, and leave the rest of us alone in peace. That's what I imagine that the motto of any country, were women rules, would be.
At the age of 74, it's still a wet dream that I'll live to see such a world. But I'll not hold my breath...
Except female leadership has always led to new wars of aggression, without fai, in known history. The most recent I can think of is Margaret Thatcher.
I know some say she wasn't really her own leader. but a shill for the rightwing lords of industry. But either way, she joined the ranks of Cleopatra & Rome, Indira Gandhi and Pakistan, Golda Meir and the Yom Kippur war, or Margaret Thatcher and the Falklands. Also, what's-her-name in Russia of eld.
I think war isn't only a testosterone-led thing, but a human weakness, or a fact of nature, when population needs to be adjusted.
Human are humans, regardless of their roles: avocation or vocation; Genitalia not too relevant.
We're inherently selfish & greedy -- this leads to war, nearly every time.
Maybe you & I need to divide up the world into two teams & just have global peace forever, but someone'll knock us both off & bring us back to status quo in no time.
Peaceniks in positions of presumed power get assassinated. . .
The fact is that modern war, anyway, is very profitable for some very old & very powerful families. They don't just let that go away, especially given they feel they have absolute(nearly Divine) right over the lives of human cattle(as we are to them -- workhorses only, to ensure they maintain a certain standard of living far above what we're allowed to ever gain)
Apparently the current goal is to drop world population to around 500M, just enough to provide for ourselves in near subsistence levels that we're to feel grateful for, & to provide for their far higher lifestyle standards.. .
