Heart of the City by Steenz for February 07, 2018

don’t forget Jeanne d’Arc and Molly Pitcher (and of course Hua Mulan)

Nice outfit, Heart

Is Heart’s mother doing her homework for her?

Not only are women more likely to abuse men then men are to abuse women, but matriarchies have been far more warlike than patriarchies. Though some historians claim this is caused by the neighbors of matriarchies feeling they can take advantage of the matriarchies.

However Catherine the Great led Russia through a couple wars and Queen Mary I of England and Queen Elizabeth I both had very bloody reigns, with Mary earning the sobriquet Bloody Mary. And Queen Victoria saw England greatly expand its empire through conquest. None of those were matriarchies but still no precedent to think that women leaders would be more peaceful than men.

Elizabeth I, Catherine the Great, Queen Victoria, Golda Meir, Margaret Thatcher…

Everyone on here should watch or at least look up the outer limits episode Lithia and then tell me who starts things men or women.

you’re citing women that had to be extremely aggressive to retain any power given how unusual it was for them to access it – I still agree with Rose

Women have not started major wars.
