    I love this comic. Its one of my favorite and so true. I’m sure a “zillion” soldiers would love not doing anything.

    Males may be overt in their hostility, but to truly be vicious and vindictive, it takes a female.

    Is that right? And here I thought all the wars were started by men. You learn something new every day!

    President Lincoln referred to Martha Mitchell? Now there’s a stretch.

    The only reason men start wars is so they can get away from women.

    Fighting won’t solve anything - just ask the citizens of Carthage, Stalingrad, Paris, Kuwait City, ….

    Let them fight now and they won’t do it later. Then it may be guns

    As a woman who knows from experience I now enjoy many freedoms not granted to females everywhere, I can tell you that there are some nations in which I would wish for an army of female warriors to join me in fighting for our human rights.

    Oh PLEASE God, let woman woman rule the world. Then perhaps we could all get along and wars would stop. The men have proved over thousands of years they are not capable of the job……

    Yeah, all guys are violent, just ask the likes of Gandhi, King, and quite a few of their supporters.

    a world ruled by moms would be the best kind of world there is in my book. for that exact reason!! a mom is someone everyone can love. a mom can always find the light in any situation. she can work through any problem, and still have time for what really matters. family. friends. happiness. joy. and love, always love. whats missing from most leaders in this world is that amazing sense of compassion that moms have. in a world ruled by moms there wouldn’t be any wars. just the mommy finger :P

    I think it is particularly significant that when Mom removed the weapons they became united by their fear and/or frustration caused by the maternal figure. Suddenly their differences were forgotten! However, it is true that male testosterone needs an outlet; hence the adventure sports, fast cars and the rivalry of opposing football/rugby teams.
