Silliness. To find out what happens when women rule, let's take a look at a few who have: Elizabeth I and Victoria of England, Catherine the Great of Russia, Maria Theresa of Austria, Cleopatra of Egypt, Zenobia of Palmyra, Golda Meir, Margaret Thatcher, Indira Ghandi... Bless 'em all, but I'm looking awfully hard for any signs of peace and tranquility in that bunch.

I have a simple rule for political discourse - when the word "would" comes up, it's crap.

Those women might have “ruled” but they ruled the same society that came before them.

So its hardly a good example.

What happens if women owned and controlled everything for 1,000 years? What if countries came to be called Queendoms and princesses inherited them, not princes. What would the world look like then?

I think it’d probably be frightening, personally.
