Women In Control: Questions about Female Supremacy

Screen 46 of 56

My thesis is that women generally possess superior characteristics of those that are needed for effective political leadership, and that a democratic body made up primarily of women would be the most effective form of government ever created. Women have higher levels of intelligence (as shown in standardized tests), and are more compassionate and nurturing which heightens their sense of responsibility when put in position of power. What illustrates this point best is history, which has shown from ancient times to the present, how efficient female leadership can be. For instance the Roman Empire under the reign of boy emperor Alexander Severus was really under the control of his mother, Julia Mamaea, who history records as an excellent administrator before being killed by Roman troops who were not satisfied with her attempted peace efforts with Germany. Cleopatra was similarly efficient, but choose to seduce the wrong Roman general in her quest for world domination. Later, in the medieval era, historians generally consider English Queen Elizabeth I among the greatest of all monarchs, whose policies were all directed at improving the lives of all her citizens, which made her, loved by her subjects, and laid the foundation for the British Empire. In modern times, no short list of most important 20th century world leaders could be complete without the names of Margaret Thatcher and Golda Mier.
