I read this quote recently and it really resonated with me.
There have been several posts about women and children suffering the most during wars and men using wars to get away with what they really want to do to women even more easily than usual. Men know that. In fact, they count on it because the chance to get away with raping and pillaging and killing men they hate for whatever reason is more important to them than protecting their own families from the same happening to them.
A man who has even a shred of empathy or love for his own children, wife, sisters, mothers, old people in his country and so on does not start a war. He does not prolong it needlessly. He does not provoke another party into an armed conflict, no matter how important he thinks the cause is.
Actually, a man who loves his wife and children will do anything to solve things diplomatically and avoid or end an armed conflict where they could come to harm. Even if that means making sacrifices.
Too bad most men will choose their politics, religion and the chance to go raping, murdering and pillaging over protecting their own families any day.
Which is exactly why we need more women in (especially political and spiritual) positions of power. I think if you chose groups of women from each side in a conflict and let them negotiate peace the whole thing would be over in a day because they actually have their priorities straight.
I was just talking to my mom about this! I said there was so much war and violence due to men - they have a huge issue with needing to dominate and conquer.
She asked if women were in power since the dawn of time, would we have different outcomes? I said I think so because women hold such love for their children, families and communities that there would be much less violence. There might be other issues that arise. But they would attempt to solve without violence. As you said, they have their priorities straight.
We have less rights than men. We are the supporting roles of men. This is their world they created. It has been the biggest gaslight.
I think whenever there are an equal amount of men and women, or more males, that's when things get very dangerous. That's when wars and violence break out--to rid the world of the excess males. Maybe 10% of men deserve to breed and pass on their genes. The rest aren't needed, because they just become criminals and family abusers. Most men cannot support a family and have no motivation to become better. It's like lions. We need a lot of females to raise the progeny and to provide, and a few males to fight for the territory. Only a few male lions survive to adulthood, and that's probably more like how humans should live, too.
You're such a good writer! This was such an eye opener
This is true, but it's not going to happen. Protecting and providing is a FEMALE quality (Pastor P is right about this part). Most men actively enjoy putting strain on their families, and even the upper class dudes who work to "make their families comfortable" have a hotrod and two 20's instead of their 40 on their mind as the primary factor to work hard.
Thats how u know men arent protectors. Women are!
I always thought that males are jealous of our ability to create life, so they take life away.
