I'm not sure women understand why this sort of thing is necessary the way men seem to be all hip to it. And it might not even be men, so much as power mad psychopaths who happen to be men.
I, a normal woman, not a power mad psychopath, look at war like, what seems to be the problem here? You want something. Great. It's either fine you can have it, or well not so fast, or no you can't have that. I can't think of too many things a woman would be willing to kill millions of her fellow humans over. In fact, I can't think of one thing.
So some aggressive guy wants to move in and take over your country. Why? What's the point of that? We have something you want? Well, what do you have that we want? Let's make a deal.... Oh, you just want more land and more power? For what?
Has there ever been a female leader who instigated a war? Did Margaret Thatcher wage an unprovoked war? I'd have to refresh my memory of the Falklands, so that's a real question because my memory says that Argentina (led by a guy) invaded the Falklands and started that chit. How about Cori Aquino? Or whoever else? I can't think of a single war throughout history that was started by a woman (although I'm happy to get a history lesson).
So guys - it appears it's on you.
Explain to me what's the point of violence and mass killings in order to get what you want. If attacked, sure - you defend yourself. But the attacker is almost certainly another man, so what's up with that?
Is it as simple as psychopaths tend to rise in the ranks of power and **** things up? And in our world male psychopaths are more likely to make that leap than female psychopaths? But then you have violent crime, which is overwhelmingly male territory. (And don't come back with some stupid, "Nuh uh! Women are violent too!" because males outviolence females by an enormous ratio.)
Is it your testosterone that makes you so aggressive and bloodthirsty? Just biology, no right or wrong?
I'm not attacking men, I'm trying to understand why war and violence are a thing and why you mens feel the need for that sort of thing. Obviously it can be controlled because there are more nonviolent men than violent ones. Or do you guys actively fight against your desire to kill and maim every day? And it's only the law and societal disapproval that keeps you from choking a bitch?
This is a real discussion for anyone who cares to have it.
