Friends and I were having drinks last night, ended up talking at one point about current events. At one point I said I truly believe that if all the world leaders were women, we would not resort to war and violent conflicts in the same way the world does now.
A friend said that was ridiculous and while I admit that international politics is extremely more complicated than I have the knowledge to understand, I really don’t believe that as women we would ever resort to bombing countries, killing other people’s innocent children, drafting people’s sons to fight wars they have no say in just because another leader told us we couldn’t have their land/oil/etc.
and yes, I know we have had women in history who have resorted to violence for example Margaret Thatcher deploying troops to the Faulklands but they were women playing a game in which most of the players were men.
AIBU to think that if ALL world leaders were women, there would be significantly less violent conflicts between countries?
