Is it Time to Let Women Rule the World?

Let Women Rule The World

Hell yeah, I'm all for it!! We couldn't possibly **** up the world as bad as millenia of male domination has. :lol:
 
This is as hopeless to judge as the dogs vs. cats routine.

Everyone, including animals, are individuals. Just being a woman (or a cat) doesn't make you automatically better than a man (or a dog).

The US is, in some ways, a very backward country. Women have fought hard to be treated as equals and have made great strides forward. Each race, each gender and each lifestyle has had to overcome resistance.
 
There have been female rulers all throughout history. You need to get off the internet, turn off the tv, and read a history book.

Ever heard of Ching Shih?

ching_shih.jpg

Famous Chinese pirate. Fought and kicked the ass of the British, the Portuguese and the Chinese empires. Commanded one of the largest pirate fleets in history, 80,000 men women and kids and almost a 2000-strong fleet of ships. Castrated her male pirates who committed rape against the people in the villages she sacked. One of the few pirates to ever retire. She was an objectively better pirate than Blackbeard, Captain Kidd, Black Bart or any of those "pirate" doofuses.

And this was back when women were basically required by law to be dumb and subservient; Ching Shih said "F that!" and made her own way. Women have every trait needed to be effective leaders.
 
Men have pretty much proven they can't pilot this ship. They had tens-of-thousands of years at the helm and it seems we're all on the Titanic. Either we've already hit the iceberg, or we're on a collision course.

Isn't it about time we throw in the towel? perhaps let somebody different have a try?

Who better to "clean up the mess" men have made? :3oops:

Change? You want change?

Put the ladies in charge.

On every level of government. From the POTUS right down to the mail room janitor and every place in between.

Fill every office, every cabinet position, and every seat in congress with females.

Could they really do a worse job then the men have done?
I'm all for it. Let 'em run things for a while. It would be a fantastic opportunity to catch up on Internet gaming and college football!

Imo; no, they could not.
 
Get over yourself. Women have been running the whole show all along. You gals want to find someone to blame for our problems? Look in the mirror.

Who the heck was it that thought of civilization in the first place? It sure as heck wasn't us men!

So all the blame for the mess we're in today can be laid squarely on the shoulders of the women?
 
What a silly idea. There are plenty of women in leadership positions across the world, and while the world has some problems, it's not any worse off than it's been at any other point in history. In fact, in many ways, we're better off.

No. A silly idea is that men must run the show. A silly idea is that white men completely dominate the entire government of the USofA for hundreds of years and we continue to push down that road even though we have a 15 trillion dollar (and growing) debt, 15% unemployment, more homes in foreclosure than homeless people, an outrageously sh!tty health care system, multiple wars ligering over our heads, a faster free-fall of people into lower income groups than ever before in history, a failing educational system that's stuck on teaching people to be employees when most jobs are being sent overseas.......and yet the vast majority of the voting public will continue to vote for the same type of people to "lead us".

We have a completely broken political system, yet people do the "insane" thing by continuing to vote for the the same kinds of people and think that will solve the problems.

:) well, let's look at history

1920's: women get the right to vote. What happens next?

Global Rise of Communism

Great Depression

WWII

Cold War - Tens of Millions Starve to death in China

Development of the Nanny State

:shrug: they may upset you, but them's the facts. Women are evil - it's not their fault, it's just science :mrgreen:
 
Unfortunately, while many will swear they don't think that way - I believe most truly do.

There's a reason men are the dominant gender, and it's simply because most women are incompetent at leading. There's the occasional exception, but they're few and far between. Women didn't even get rights until men started to support that change.
 
:) well, they were so adorable, with their little protests and everything. You know it's hard to say no to them. ;)

Seriously? Most women are incompetent? Incapable of leading simply because they are female???????

You seriously believe that?

More incompetent than the tools we currently have paving the way to financial ruin in Washington at this very moment?

And you seriously think restricting elections to female candidates would change that in the slightest (or were you just being silly to attract attention to the thread)?

The fundamental problem is the kind of person usually who wants to be a politician and that's really no different whether they're male or female.

If it weren't for some major practical difficulties, I'd be in favour of some kind of jury-service style government. Anyone who wants to be a politician should be automatically disqualified.

If they weren't incompetent, they would be leading competently.

Hey, look, it's obvious you are a dedicated feminist and, really, truly, that's adorable.

But the men are talking here.

Tell you what - why don't you go bake something, and stop worrying your little head about these kinds of things? That'll make you feel better, eh?

This is just proof that women often make immoral and cruel leaders. Piracy? Castration? Another example of why women shouldn't rule. Others are "Bloody" Mary, Empress Matilda, Madame Báthory, and Margaret Thatcher.
 
Margeret Thatcher ?? lol

There are plenty of women running major corporations.

The problem is - most people (many women included) are completely sexist. To a fault.

It's been drilled into their heads for generations that men lead, women follow.

Misogyny is alive and well in 2012. Even in a country like the USofA.

Because she punished rapists? LOL! What about the cruelty of rape? That's not cruel to you? Mr. Authoritarian suddenly has a bleeding heart for rapists...

And if you're going to try to attach gender to cruel acts, there were far more male pirates than female. So if we apply your logic to the sheer numbers, clearly men are the more bloody and ruthless gender!

Stop the fake outrage. Pirates were badass, and Ching Shih wiped the floor with the biggest Empires of her time, got paid and ruled the seas and retired while her contemporaries hung by their necks from ship masts. She was awesome.
