should women rule the world?

[Reverend Rick]

Some of the worlds best leaders have been women.

 

[MysticSang'ha]

I think women already rule the world. They have half the money and all the nookie.

Well, dang....where'd my share of half the worlds money go?

You're right about the nookie part, though. :yes:

Just listening to the radio. Jian Ghomeshi said he thinks the world would be a better place if women were in charge. Then he summed up the outraged response he got from angry men on twitter, swearing, calling him names, etc. He and his producer joked that kind of proves the point.

How about you? Do you think it would be better? Worse? How would it be different?

Happy international women's day!

I think that many women are capable leaders, but I have major problems with any system based on excluding a group of people from power.

 

[StarryNightshade]

Women have the capability to be great, or ******, rulers. Same as men.

So, in my opinion, the gender of the leader doesn't really matter; but their actions do. The world would be no better ,or worse, off if there where more women in charge.

Considering how our societies tend to resemble chimpanzee cultures in many ways, which are also male dominated, I think maybe if our cultures were female dominated, then perhaps our cultures would more resemble bonobo culture, which I don't see that many people having a real problem with, especially men once they realized how much sex they would get to have.

Elaborate the bold part pls

Evolution: Library: Chimps And Bonobos

How did bonobos, which live in humid forests south of the Zaire River, evolve such a different social structure from chimpanzees since the two species split about 2 million years ago? Male dominance plays a big role in chimp society. Disputes are often resolved by threatening displays or by fighting. Female chimps lead a life much more solitary than that their bonobo cousins, and are sometimes harassed by the much larger males. Sex is strictly about reproduction, and reproductive tactics can include infanticide -- the killing of offspring unrelated to a male chimp. Infanticidal individuals remove potential competitors to their own offspring, and the mother, without an infant to care for, will become available for mating again much sooner.

In contrast, bonobo society is marked by the strong bonds that develop between unrelated females and by almost constant sexual activity amongst all members of a group. Bonobos apparently use sex to reinforce bonds within the group and to resolve conflict.

I see the complaints of a female-led world lasting no longer than an hour, if even that long.

Good God if they use sexual activity to resolve conflicts and other issues within the group, then the Senate/Parliament of a female-run world would be nothing but a huge all-girl orgy. Presidential TV debates would be a lot more interesting too!

Oki-doki I'm all for Female rule now

Gosh, me too!

 

[runningbooii]

actually i think Women as leaders are more than capable and have proved to be so throughout history.

I'd agree with you. I think I remember reading about a small town in India which had handed over power to the women voluntarily by instituting laws to help more women get elected. Within a year they were turning a surplus of about 1 million US dollars (pretty good for a town of 2,000 people), crime had nearly vanished from the streets, and literacy had tripled. None of which happened in 50 years of having male politicians running the place.

LOL not to be a stick in the mud, but not all females are supportive of this level of sexual freedom. I've run across some pretty possessive and jealous women in my lifetime. And plenty of women don't even have to show possessiveness, but simply identify themselves as monogamous through and through, whatever their orientation.

So, to be clear, it isn't necessarily all-female rule, but all-bisexual-polyamorous rule, which occurs much less often in nature, methinks.
