Men have ruled our world for thousands of years and made a total mess of doing this. Men fail to understand the insanity of warfare and why it is so stupid to settle disputes between countries with war. Male rulers have also totally failed to eliminate poverty in our world.<br /><br />Someone mentioned Margaret Thatcher, i wish to point out she is not a ordinary women. Many female politicians today feel they have to act and behave like men to be respected by the voters. It would be better if voters voted for caring and nurturing women, instead of the macho clowns they now vote for.williamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05285178912635949559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27290920.post-1160775555292465302006-10-13T17:39:00.000-04:002006-10-13T17:39:00.000-04:00"My girlfriend is convinced that there'd be no mor..."My girlfriend is convinced that there'd be no more war if women ran the world. <BR/><BR/>Like no woman has ever started a fight for no reason.<BR/><BR/>'Hey, this is England.

Placing women in the current governing system instead of men might help mitigate current circumstances somewhat, but the system was created by men, and works for men. Perhaps once they got comfortable they might try some radical adjustments to the system? That's a nice fantasy, but since its never going to happen, its still just a fantasy. <BR/><BR/>I don't consider myself a femminist because I don't think its the fault of men that women are abused and neglected, its the product of our culture. Boys are similarly de-humanized and forced to play into the dominator roles we have created for them. <BR/><BR/>We do have a male dominated society and culture. What we need though is not to trade women for men but a steep new respect for all things feminine. This counts as the earth, the land, and our basic sustinance first. The earth is the ultimate woman, the ultimate godess. Then respect for feminine roles, such as caring for children and elderly, nurturing ourselves, slowing the pace of life down a bit. And of course, the respect for the feminine within men, something traditional Hawaiian culture was quite good at. <BR/><BR/>I'm not really sure how government would be different under such circumstances. But would it matter? We don't need our government to dictate our lives. We need families and communities to support each other and get along. Maybe women would create less government...<BR/><BR/>I'll get off my soapbox now...shali_isdeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11815792475403875079noreply@blogger.com
