COMMENTS:
I made this ballot. Why they registered it to a "guest user" is beyond me, but just direct all hate mail to me.
No difference. Wars would still start. Only, they'd be over stupid petty things.
I think any prime minister would ahve gone to the falklands, it's british territory with british citizens living there, if there ever a good reason to go to war, that would have been it, with the monarchs, that was a time when countries were fighting each other on a weekly bases, britain was colonizing the world long before queen victoria, but in todays world I think we would have more peace if we had women leaders.
all women aren't stepford wives, so you can't really categorize them as all thinking and acting in the same way.
being that i am of this gender, and dont get me wrong i am no trader to it, but i think we'd all be in an emotional state.
Thatch can hardly be used a representative of female sex. I would be annoyed if she was used as a representative of the human race.
you are not the same person are you neal, maybe it picked up on your isp
Less big wars but more little bitch fights.
Wars would be started for no reason and last about five days every month.
In regard to Margaret Thatcher: Reread my ballot comments and you'll notice is said I thought she was RIGHT to go to war over the Falklands. Are we clear on that, now? Actually I've never quite understood why feminists hate Thatcher so much. You'd think she'd be their poster girl: first woman to govern one of the world's best countries, what? But they despise her. My hunch is that it's because Thatcher broke the first law of feminism - She got her job by actually being competent, as opposed to getting it for merely being female. But that's probably a question for another ballot.
That I think Thatcher was justified in going to war over the Falklands is irrelevant to the main point - no male PM of the last half-century would have done so.
I thought you were saying no man pm would have gone to the falklands, reason I said it again.
And I'LL say it again, Larry: I can't imagine Heath, Callaghan, Wilson, Major, MacMillan, Eden, etc. going to war over the Falklands. These were the male PMs I was referring to, get it? And the reason Blair is a possible exception is because he DID go to war - one in which no real British interests were involved.
I think you might be wrong neal, it was a matter of principle, the falklands were never inhabited when the brits landed there. It's part of UK ,like hawaii is part of usa, I'm sure they would have done something, I remember those days, the brits were all up and arms, the approval for going to war was like 90%, Maybe reason Argentina thought a women pm would not have gone to war maybe that is why they never did with the pm's you mentioned, but I would be willing to bet my house that those other pm's you mentioned would have done the same thing.
I can not imagine the world being in worse shape than it is now with a woman running the show...Men have proven very well how NOT to run the world...Would it be more peaceful? It depends upon if two women leaders were caught on national TV wearing the same out fit and then...Oops, nevermind....
Mike1952: "The Falklands were a part of the UK"? You and I might agree to that. But the Argentineans vehemently DISagreed, which was how the war started in the first place. You might be right that the Argies thought a woman wouldn't have the guts for war. You might even be right that any of the male PMs might have gone to war. We'll never know. But we DO know that a female PM went to war. That's my only point.
Barbara_Baby_cakes: You've got a point there, and that's my main argument as to why women don't belong in the military. We have seen how the sparks fly when only TWO women happen to show up at the same place and time wearing the same outfit. Catfight city! Now think: military uniforms. What's going to happen when 100,000 or so women get together all wearing the same outfit? Oh, the horror!
I almost for the first time agreed with you bbc
ok neal, I was thinking you were saying something different.
would you vote for a women president or prime minister?
another exageration , most women could care less if someone else had same outfit, they would laugh about it. Apparently women do not a female president or we would have one, we are majority of the population. I can't blame anyone for that not happening but other women.
Mike1952: The answer is yes. But, being neither a feminist nor a liberal, I would not vote for her ONLY because she's a woman.
