Why do woman allow it View table of contents...

Looking back at what to some may seem a long life but to me has most certainly not been long enough. I have over these years watched the world and all that it has to offer with fascination and distain. There has been a lot to marvel at and a great deal to take pleasure in, but there are two sides to this particular coin. I am now starting to wonder if man and all the wonders that his brain can conjure is really worthy of living on this planet, and why it is that the woman of this world put up with the male and all his macho posturing. I honestly can’t see why you woman put up with us. Yes, I include me in this category, for I too must have been very obnoxious in my testosterone filled days. It is the male of this species that is the problem.
From the beginning of time it has been the man that has made the rules that woman must live by, it has been the man that has started the wars, it has been the man that gone out and killed because he can. Even in this day and age with the emancipation of woman kind, it is still man that is in control. Who are the terrorist leaders? Who are the ones that carry the gun? Who are the leaders of the countries? You will find very few women in these roles. Why? Because it is the woman that loves and nurtures and wants the best for her offspring, and the thoughts of power, whether it is political or military comes a very poor second to that. While man on the other hand is greedy for more money, more power, more land. The male avarice knows no bounds and the woman of the world stand back and let him do it. How long has it taken for woman to get the vote? And even then it was grudgingly given. From Gengis Khan to Adolf Hitler, who was it that started wars? It certainly wasn’t Betty Khan nor was it Sandra Hitler.
This is not a world devoted to men, this world also contains woman! I say to the females of this world. It is your hands to change things. If you want peace in this world then it is up to you to step forward and make men change from their warring instincts to a more peaceful outlook. Why should you produce children only to have them murdered and killed? Ninety thousand American children have died by the gun in twenty years; I would be very surprised if even one of those killers was a female. So in twenty years we have had ninety thousand mothers lost a child to a bullet. America needs no terrorists; the children are doing the job for them. If so many had died through a rampaging disease there would be an outcry, so why are the woman of America standing by and taking this. Is it that their men like playing with guns, just because it has been like this for a hundred years does not mean it has to stay like that? I only quote that as an example, but woman all over the world stand back and let the men control their lives. They suffer domestic violence, they are beaten, murdered and raped and stay quiet about the abuse they suffer at the hands on men. Because that’s the way it has always been. Its time for the woman of this world to take control and rein in the testosterone driven men and make this a world worth living in

Well, I'm not femeinist, but hey, you do make a good point!
However, I will quote this, "If there is a beast in men, it meets it's match in women." (Angela Carter, The Company of Wolves)

Power driven women are no better than the men, but yes, war is sexually driven by the 'my gun is much bigger than yours' male mentality. Then again, just look at Margaret Thatcher. Under her government, we went to war with Argentina.


There have been women leaders in the world, Ancient Egypt has many, only they were obliterated from the records because of their gender not being Ma'at (the order of things) Nefertiti, Hatchepsut, many early 1-3rd dynasty pharaohs were women, but they have been over looked.

Not wanting to offend my gender, but I really don't think war would cease if women ruled the world. I think it would just be on a much smaller scale.
You know what they say, "Behind every great man, there is an even greater woman."

I note that you pick out individual woman, for that one need look no farther than Boadicea queen of the Iceni. But even these women, Hepchetsut included took over from a man and were not followed by a female line. But we have not seen hoards of females doing battle and laying thousands dead on battlefields. I speak of men all over the world making woman one of their goods to be owned and used at his will. Even to this day we have female circumcision inflicted upon young girls, not to mention the honour killings of the Middle East

That change may take longer than you think, I doubt if I'll be here to see it. Your comments are most welcome.
