What if we had a government run entirely by women? All congressmen being women heads of the supreme court women? The president and the entire cabinet women? Would there be less wars? Would the nation be a better place? Surely all women will have equal pay to men.

Although I don't think war would change, If I had to pick I would chose matriarchy over patriarchy. If I lived in a matriarchy instead, I would probably make friends and get dates. I would also prefer to submit a little as a partner too.

It would be interesting if every country on earth were run by women, like you said. I do wonder if there would be less conflict and more obsession with hair/makeup/clothing. If it were just the US, the results would be warped because it would be one government run by women while all the others were run by men and the government of women would have to play by their rules so I doubt there would be less wars and stuff in that scenario.

In a true matriarchy; the men would have to wear the makeup.

If we lived in a Matriarchy, we would never have another war. Our leaders would, however, have some very intense discussions in which men would be blamed for everything ...

Why would you reach that conclusion? Women like to wear makeup.

Call me a misogynist (or a miss-hoggy-knees, or whatever it's called ) but count me out.
We would be ruled too much by emotion, not unlike how it would be with total liberal control. I could type paragraph after paragraph about how f****d up it would be but I'll let my illustrious posting history do that for me.

So now you are advocating murder (or do you prefer to call it 'rebellion'?). Isn't that illegal in your country?

And the repression of individual rights would be even worse than it is now. Remember, women can fight dirtier than men. Why do you think women Warriors were called battle axes?
