Would World Affairs Be More Peaceful If Women Dominated Politics?

There has been a long battle of the sexes concerning politics throughout our history, from leadership, power position, to speaking roles, and to equal rights. It's been so long, that some would think whether it would be best for women to dominate politics over man, who is generally the leader of politics.

Caprioli (1999) states in her argument: critics would argue that female leaders in a male world must act more aggressively in order to prove themselves. According to this argument women are still considered by nature more pacific than men are. Because women must operate in a social and political environment that has been defined, structured and dominated by men for centuries, they must recondition themselves to act more violently in order to gain power in a "man's world."

From that statement, I agree with Caprioli, because while women are strong in some aspects such as giving birth, raising a family and other things that men can't do, women are not emotionally trained to lead a country, dominate politics, and to make world decisions like men can.

If instead men had to fight for their equal rights, men had to give birth, men had to raise a child, if women were the ones who didn't appreciate or listen to men when it came to politics, would the world be a better place if women were in charge? You can blame men on not doing a peaceful job in the world, but if you ask a woman to do the job instead, there wouldn't be much of a difference in finding ways to help the world become more peaceful. In the Bible, when Eve took the first bite of the apple of the Tree of Knowledge, and then gave it to Adam to try, he took a bite out of it as well; this means that women have the same amount of power to start wars, and conflict as men do. Although for many years men have been leading and women have been standing by and supporting them, so if Hilary Clinton had won the Presidency in 2008, I believe it would have gone against nature by putting herself in a higher level than men. Seeing how men are usually meant to be the dominant sex, women certainly wouldn't get any respect, especially after men having been in charge for so many years.

There is a saying that "behind every great man stands a greater woman." Even though that might be true, and a woman can be as strong as a man, or even stronger than a man; women are very emotional compared to men. Yes, women are able to make sane decisions, but men just hide their emotions better than women do. I believe that even though a woman can understand the global problems and its political views, a woman would crack under pressure from not being able to overcome the mental state of all the stress. If women go through emotional moments over little things, how would she be about to deal with a situation in the white house having to deal with millions of American citizens and citizens from different countries? From that a woman wouldn't
