The Global Matriarchy

[JohnT]

So... what would the world be like if it were run by women? Better? Worse? More interesting? More boring? More puritanical? More insane?

For the sake of discussion, we'll assume the "switchover" begins today, through the accepted means of political/economic change so that, by 2025, most of the worlds governments and corporations are run by females, with a few old men still in charge in some places.

Better

The first thing that happens is a change in attitudes - a woman / girl becomes more cool if she sleeps with more men (like it is now with men). This has a side effect of depleting all but few online forums of their members.

In Germany it has already begun - Merkel.

Seriously, while I'm not a supporter of her political line; for now - if we ignore the aesthetics for a while - I think she's neither better or worse than a man as chancellor. She has of course another style than let's say Schroeder, but that can be said for other men too. In the end I only care what her government achieves, and for that it is too early to judge.

Imagine if all the worlds leading political, military, financial, and religious organizations had synchronous menstruation cycles.

[BeBMan]

They all get free time then, at least the men can rule then for some days....

Imagine if US and USSR were led by Jackie and Mrs. Khruscheva respectively, and were having PMS during the Cuban missile crisis...

I'm postulating a complete peaceful reversal of thousands of years of patriarchal domination.

You're postulating that women, if given world-domination, will be more likely to give up the bootay, meaning more sex for all.

Now who here is living in a fantasy land?

Moreover, he's forgetting Oerdin's thread about guys prefering to play computer games to screwing their gf's.

I assumed that Apolyton was one of the "few" that were able to resist.

I guess we are run by women more than most countries.

The difference? Umhh.. Ican't see any difference. It's about the same.

I don't care who runs things as long as they are competent. Excluding military .

[JohnT]

So what, in your opinion, would the military be like if it were run by females?

[Pekka]

it would be less efficient and less performing. It would get more complex.

And it would have lower moral.

[JohnT]

It would be like the Finnish government, then?
