(1,250 posts)It is NOT true that all men are destroyers & all women are peacemakers.
Both men AND women can destroy AND make peace.
Both men AND women can war AND nurture.
But yes there IS a difference between the brains of the man & the woman.
There IS a difference between the sexes & trying to minimalize that is taking us into delusional territory.
But that difference only deals with the METHODS men & women use to achieve the same goal.
Men may make war in THIS particular fashion while women make war in THAT particular fashion.
Men may nurture in THIS particular fashion while women nurture in THAT particular fashion.
But they both destroy/make war & they both nurture/make peace.
Both men & women can collect in groups but men groups & women groups operate differently.
What they talk about & how they interact is different.
Both men & women lie but men lie in a certain way while women lie in another certain way.
Talk to Chris Rock about it. He'll break it down for you.
It would be a nice thought to think that the world will become more peaceful if women ran it upfront.
The truth is men do all of what they do to impress a woman somewhere. It's biology.
Women are the Master Sex. They decide whose genes go to the next generation or not.
Their decisions shape the future of the human race for both men AND women.
The King may have the upfront ruling status but who runs the King?
The woman behind the throne.
Who ultimately runs Barack Obama? Michelle Obama.
She can make him change tack entirely with her expressions of approval & disapproval.
By her withholdings & rewardings of affection.
To make men put down the weapons of war, women must select against violence as a whole not just individually.
They can't look at the aggressive man as sexy or more men will emulate that aggressive ideal.
Even Genghis Khan was trying to raise his mating value, his sexual value to some woman somewhere.
To show that he could provide the resources to raise her children even if he had to destroy other men, women, & children to do it.
There's a reason why prisoners get so many women pursuing them for "romantic" interests.
A more pronounced version of the so-called "bad boy".
There's a lot of women who send their men out to kill the spider & other bugs playing on his duty-bound nature to protect his mate.
Why DOES a 'man in uniform' attract some women so much?
Coretta Scott King wanted a moral man so the Reverend Martin Luther King Jr. used his testosteronic power to fight injustice & make peace between peoples.
Another woman may just want to see a deadly man so some man will use his power to fit that image.
It's a mistake to think that women are inclined to a peaceful existence & men are inclined to a violent existence.
Men are MORE EXPLOSIVE with their violence while Women let out their violence with a SLOW BURN.
Isn't there a saying called "Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned"?
The difference is just method.
