Just curious. Would women make better rulers? If women ruled the world, would there be any Taliban-like regimes?

Every month there'd be another World War! ;)

No...

If a man doesn't like you he'll tell you about it and probably kick you a few times for it.
If a woman doesn't like you, she wont' tell you, she'll scheme and manipulate and make your life as miserable as possible.

Women would probably start less outright wars but there would be tons of scheming and backstabbing like stuff. In the long run I think it would probably make little difference.

They already do. They do it so well that most aren't aware of it. Chicks Rule

Not sure if the world would be a better place, but the coordinated unforms would change, season by season.

Moot point. You made a generalization which can NEVER be true. Personalities aren't determined by gender, by partly by genetics and the rest is upbringing. Being male or female does have nothing to do with it.

While I'm sure that there would be some minor differences, I don't think that it would be any better or worse. I'm sure that if women ruled that somewhere there would be a group of women in control who would dehumanise men in the way that the Taliban dehumanises women. The problem isn't that one sex or the other is in control, the problem is that in some places idiots (regardless of sex) are in control.

I would say no. You typically need to have a masculine personality to be a leader. So if women ruled the world, they'd be men, er well minus the physical differences.

History is littered with women who liked bathing in Human blood and using tattooed skin as lamp shades, so no.
There are just as many mean arsed mentally challenged women out there as men.

I am with Baffled2 all the way. Like Hilary Clinton said to her hubby, when he decided to tease her about an old boyfriend, and told her just think, you could have ended up married to a gas station attendant instead of the President of the United States. And she turned around and answered "Well no, if I had married him, he would be president now, not you." It's not an exact quote, but you get the picture. ;)

And the only difference I think, is there would be more compassion shown to other countries and people in need. Women wouldn't have waited for this to step up and help the Afghanistans as much as we are now, we would have done that long before. But compassion isn't what gets you into politics anyway, so thats a moot point.

No, that would make me want to kill more people (makes it sound like I've killed people already doesn't it....?), we'd be living in a world of fluffy white clouds and talking trees, where in never rains but the grass is always green, the birds chirp and there is a surplus of chipmunks because "aren't they the cutest thing?". That's all assuming that the woman ruling the world wasn't Hillary Clinton, but otherwise wouldn't that scenario make you want to hurt someone?

No, it wouldn't be better. The world isn't going to improve if a particular gender takes over. We all have our faults.

...But I do think a more even mix of both would be good.

Maybe, but one would hope that they fly for longer than five minutes.

Maybe if they were all nymphomaniac bisexuals who insisted on using men as sex toys...

I don't think it would be good since women can have mood swings and are hormonal. Could you imagine...

Hey Debbie I'm so sorry I blew up London, but I had this atrocious hang nail that was driving me batty, and my stockings just got a run, and my cycle just started...*Arrggghhh*

That's ok Lucy I understand, whispering to her first in command: "Got them missiles about ready to launch?"

I know it is an exageration, but women are ten times more sneaky and devious as men. If Hitler had been a woman, we would pretty much all be phucked. Combine that with their mood swings and no thank you..

I wouldn't mind some more women in office just not an all female office unless the first part is true...

:D

I was also thinking that if women ruled we'd have even more taxpayer sponsored entitlement programs for deadbeats.
