Well, if you condsider statistically, as per lesser historical population, there have been women to bear claim to that charge (then, of course, the other one usually starts it even if they didn't know it).Fozzer wrote:I often wonder if a Woman (female) ever started a disastrous war which results in so much death and destruction ...or is it only us stupid Blokes (males) that always persist in doing it?
Men start wars...Women go shopping for shoes.
Iroquois men had the added incentive to treat their wives well; the women's council decided whether or not to go to war -- you might be getting her a new pair of shoes (moccasins) from your enemies' feet, providing you won the battle. Men don't always start the wars but, more often, fight them -- and females have often been associated with the cause: Helen of Troy (originally of Greece) and Marc Antony's woes had a major assist with Queen Cleopatra.
Then, I may not be so apt to overlook their part. It's been determined that there's a genetic curse passed to the females in my family: labelled bipolarism, or manic depressive. I'm aware that most females are not so dangerous but my sister nearly killed me more than once, twice nearly so with my dad; my life makes some soap operas seem normal, even mediocre.
