Serious reply to a serious topic: Deciding the world should be divided up based on gender is about as smart as teaching rocks to swim. It was stupid 200 years ago, it's stupid today, and it will be stupid in 200 years. Both genders have strengths and weaknesses. There are people who are better at math, better at dealing with emotions, better at just about anything in each gender. Saying women wouldn't go to war is just kinda ignoring Queen Isabella, Mirjana Markovic (Slobodan Milosevic's wife, and main force in bringing and keeping him in power) and many others. Hell, even MacBeth's wife was a bitch to be reckoned with. I would argue the reason for a lack of totalitarian regimes run by women is simply because it is hard to push for a female leader in this man dominated world. Therefore, men were often held up high while the women made the decisions. That does not mean I believe women are better, or women should be in the supporting role, it simply means that women can be as machiavellian as men, and would, in general, make no better anything than men, in general. Yours, benji
