What if Women Ruled the World?

In 2020 women are outperforming men academically, socially, technologically and even biologically, but what would a world run by women really be like?

Professor Steve Jones, a geneticist at University College London claims: "I'm fairly confident that in the west, the 21st century will be the century of women."

It is 2020 and girls are outperforming boys at every step of the educational ladder.

There are three women graduating university for every two men.

Here's a graph showing the percentage who would think a womans world would be a better place.



Do you think a womans world would be a better place?

It depends, but it would probably be the same as it is now but with the positions being switched.

Thats an excellent question. Any man thats married already knows that women rule the world anyway Yes, Im married, and yes, they do rule the world. Women just let us men thump our chest every once and a while to make us feel good

"better"
Thats all relative.

Different, yes.

I DO know I would be Broke, paying all those "toilet seat positioning" fines...

Well, childcare would be accessible at most places of work (a BIG issue for working moms).

No penalties for time taken off for childbirth or for taking kids to hospital/doctor/school conferences, etc.

Women would be paid the same as men and have equal opportunity to become bosses (currently we get about 75% of what a man gets.)

More women would direct movies and be in the government. The Vice President or President would be a woman.

Companies would be interested in health problems related to women. We'd have a "hers" version of Viagra.



And on a sillier note:

PMS would be a valid excuse for not going to work.
Nice guys would get all the chicks!
Chocolate would become one of the major food groups.

Irrespective of gender I am pretty sure that some other species besides homo sapiens knows that it rules the world.

Project forward from 2020, and it's sentient machines ruling the world. Matriarchies and patriarchies are well dead and buried.

The Matrix is one of my favorite movies too!

Yes, herstory would have been much better than history....I believe we need to take over things at this point.

Wait, I thought we already ruled the world

Seriously, I agree with Byrd's thoughts.
And to continue:
There will be more women's restrooms in public facilites, like sports arenas and concert venues.

Cars will have lit mirrors for both front seat passengers. Women will pick better car colors and design better interiors.

Never again will we be referd to as "the little woman" or be the butt of tasteless PMS or "that-time-of-the-month" jokes.

The medical profession will treat women better with more research dollars for all issues in women's health.

There will be more male skin bared in movies---and more often.

And no strong wife of a politician will be made the brunt of jokes, either.

Yeah!!! I second that one!!

?? Why would we want to give you grief for that? It's your choice.

But if a woman doesn't want that role, then she shouldn't be forced into it.

(uh, and the "made love to every night" isn't an exclusive with stay-at-home women. I speak from 32 years of experience, here....)

I'll tell you after a few years of Hillary Clinton in office.

The Matrix and Keanu Reeves are crud. A female Keanu Reeves might do a still worse job of "ruling the world" than George W Bush at his megalomaniacal zenith.

Tammy Wynette was joking.

If women ruled the world it may not be a bad thing, but it may look something like this:

I dont see it happing people, really I dont.

So thats that then.

If you want proof of women ruling and doing a good job of it, look no further than Maggie Thatcher. Who was prime minister for a number of years!

As for Amercia, well you never know, but I dont think so.

GO HILLARY 2008!

In New Zealand we have female Prime Ministers, and we're all cool with it. Do you ever see us getting blowed to pieces, starting wars, killing ourselves, nope ya dont. We're pretty much neutral or allied with everyone in the world. So I reckon it would be a more peaceful world. Except for all the Male bashing that happens. It would probably increase.


BTW I"m a guy, and male bashing means like saying all guys are stupid and cant think, stuff like that.

Yes, herstory would have been much better than history....I believe we need to take over things at this point.

I agree with Val.

When do we start to take over?

Love the chained toilet seat makeitso......

and the bowling alley looks great!.....doesn't it?

As they say, "Behind every good man there is a good woman.". Maybe they will change that saying one day to "Behind every good woman, there is an obedient man.".

On a more serious note, and having to do with my first quote. Women have been more influential in leading our world than people believe. Men, please don't have so much pride to believe that many world leaders (more so in this day and age) are influenced in their decisions by their wives or women. It happens all the time. Examples, ughh I would have to do some research, but I'm sure I could find a few.

If normal females rule the world we would see a more peacful world. If radical Feminism was going to take over, then God help us all
