What would the world be like if females were in control?

This is under the assumption that they are already not in control.

They control all the straight men with their supply of vagina and if they ever needed to show it they can just place a embargo up and we would all be screwed.
 
Men are usually the travelers, women tend to be more of a nesting creature.

Both sexes have their shallow attitudes at times.

Men would be sent to war more oft, of course, like someone mentioned earlier.

There would be slightly more peace, since women are usually more patient than are men.

I'd say the women would have to largely supress the sex drives of men and their want for power/dominance and egos, alike. Of course, maybe women had a powerful drive of something, in their hidden desires, as overtime, it was suppressed, and became unknown to mankind, those desires in men today may diminish, and 'men' may become something totally other than they are today?

Society would be more feministic and hard driven in acceping and recognizing women first before men, I presume.

A matriarchal society would probably yield different levels of innovation in the world, all together.

But one thing is certain, humans need: food, water, air and love. They must work and work together.

Some of the reasons in "WHY NATIONS GO TO WAR," a book, will probably not change much, the title speaks for itself, such things as: resources, religion, ideologies, etc.
In total, I believe there are seven or thirteen primary reasons categorized by the author scholar.

Happiness may still be a serious problem, as women and men are both pretty materialistic in their own kinds of things. But men are usually more visual and touchy, where women are more observing and care-touchy. I'm guessing too, that more "wussy men" and nerds will exist. Bisexual behavior would probably increase dramatically compared to today's society.

If women were given the same sex drive as men comparitively, the world would self destruct. Women are more emotionally intimate, so it may teach more men in the world to accept this first before they consider their sexual emotions. In love-making and reproduction, I see when women are in control, it may affect pleasure and the relationship, because marriages are a two-way street, but when men ask women for permission too much, it really irritates the female in today's society, however when it comes to this tops- turvy world w/women in control first, men may be more irritated when the women ask them for approval all the time.

As far as government and economy goes, I see rebellious organizations going against different cultures and religions, alike, similar to today's world, bands of people that disagree with the status quo - there will always be that, for some reason, in how people just do not get along with everyone else, as long as there is at least one broken home in the world.

Divorce rates would be significantly less. As men crave more for variety, women usually will stick with their sole "soul mate." The transition from younghood to adulthood, since women mature faster than men, men will be seen as inferior in mentality and not be trusted as much. And when men physically, become equal or greater to women, they will have to go through some kind of societal training to kill their ego/pride that is spawned in the mind.
I see men more regulated then women, almost becoming robots. Like controlled lightning, where if the box is opened, it crash and burns all over the world. Human rights movements to get men upto standard with women, yeah, of course. Worse case scenarios, they'll probably kill the older men that want to teach contrary to a matriarchal society, and rear from childhood, that women 'must absolutely' come first before anything, 'anything.'

Domestic violence would probably be decreased severely. And if it does exist, women would have a system setup where if men became out of control, women themselves, or the matriarchally loyal men would quite the rebellious men or teach them to submit, kind of like a 'pet dog?', if I must so give an example.

In conversation, women are more prone to talk about anything and everything with people closest to them. Secrets would still exist, just on a different level for the sexes.

Excuses, you really just want to paint your nails without shame

😕 You mean I'm supposed to feel shame for doing that? 😱
Why didn't my mommie tell me?

No kidding. My only real concern about women being in control would be having women having their finger on the button...and having a bad case of PMS...:sun:

Every mom wants a daughter...
 
How much worse could it be? It should be further limited to only women who have borne children. Mothers have a stake in the future.
 
Ever see a married couple? They ARE in control 😛 This is why I want to stay single for as long as I can. Single life = FTW.

Ye gads... children would freely roam the world and it would be the general public's lawful duty to watch over them. Talking too loudly anywhere on earth would be prohibited, since you might be louder than a child, and loud children are "expressing themselves" and shouldn't be stopped from doing so. Mothers would give their children special stars for breaking things in retail stores. What a nightmare...

:music: Marriage doesn't work in the world today
it's an institution that is in decay :music:

Seriously, it's a trap. Half of marriages end in divorce, usually with the poor guy losing his kids, house and car. 90% of the remaining guys realize it was the biggest mistake of their life. Women truly are evil.

Haha yeah. While as a Christian I try to see the good things of marriage, but even in Christian families, there are conflicts, and even divorces.

Actually one of my coworkers had an awesome philosophy about relationships. Find a girl that really hates you, and give her half of everything you own. That way, you skip the wedding, and skip the legal portion of the divorce. It's brilliant, really. 😛

Brilliant to a sea anemone maybe.

we have computers video games and flat panel tvs.
mens interests seems to drive technology.
not sure where we'd be if it were only women.
 
Technology is not limited to electrical or electronic things. At one time, the latest, sexy technology was the trebuchet.

Items that women might be interested in:

Kitchen appliances.

Baby monitors.

Curling irons.

'foolproof' cars.

7 day batteries for cordless and cell phones.

tv and easy to use recording/playback devices.

online bill pay.

Burglar alarms.

Many devices that require d batteries.

Credit cards.

Fairly accurate pregnancy tests.

We'd have the same things, they'd just all start with "i" and be aesthetically pleasing at the cost of function and increased price. In essence, if women ruled the tech world Apple and Microsoft would switch places.

How the distribution of technology and it's advancements alone will play out, does not necessarily depend on motherhood and safety for just families and ease of lifestyle.
There are women in top positions of the United States defense sectors as we speak.
One thing that humans are blessed with is is logic. Of course it's still not going to be a soft world if women were in total control, it's not like they're perfect in the sense that they are incapable of selfishness, greed and jealousy.
One of the reasons why men seem to innovate technology more than women is because of male dominance. However, I'm sure it wouldn't be too different with women creating WMD's and expensive defense technology, because the intricate levels of advancing technology involves the simple logic of continually creating things more efficiently that will be more effective with the end result. Remember that women were just as well rounded as men back in the stone-age days, because while men went to hunt, women had to make up for what their husbands couldn't accomplish/fulfill, plus, taking care of children, their multitasking abilities are still equally superior to men. Usually the case men are more efficient at doing just one thing at a time, is the reason why men generally have faster reflexes than women when it comes to video games, for example. If you look at the ratio with women to men enrolled in universities, that alone says a lot. In fact, some may argue, that the world would be more advanced politically, economically, and technologically today if women were more equal or greater in standing to men.
How do you maintain the economic push-boundaries of expanding like the United States? Conquer, obviously. Many major changes in the world amounted from war and it's aftermaths, no doubt. Another thing is that men and women immitate each other's behavior sometimes, so it's not to say women would suppress men entirely, they would treat anything involving intelligence at a level where learning and adapting is pure survival.

what the world would be like
probably would hafta slap some biatches about
only to get something so small
like voting rights or the right to abort a fetus
but eh who cares men rule the world anyway
we'll always rock it
 
They would spend trillions trying to stop their periods with various gadgets / drugs. Then when it failed they would spend the rest on ice cream and a smear campaign against men blaming us for the failure.
