Dear lord, your working off statistics which you "found in 5mins", don't you know that statistics are extremely unrelyable:

Who were they questioning?
What questions did they ask?
Did they ask every female and male on the face of the planet or just a select few?
Did they select people from poor or rich backgrounds?
Were the questions interchangeable answers?
Who processed the information?
Did the person who process the information have an agenda?
Was the report scientific and funded by the internation science board?(or whoever funds the big projects)

Your proof is unrelable and therefore you have no arguement, until you get an answer from every single male and female on the planet and take into account every single persons option and answer.

And so your complete arguement falls throught, please be careful before starting a topic where you have ZERO proof of ANYTHING.

This thread is filled with ignorance (mainly the OP).

If you do not see the difference and qualities both males and females bring to the world, you are truly blind.

I can argue it is MEN that brought us to this point in life.

Something as big as "turning the tables" would have unforeseen consequences. It is IMPOSSIBLE to say if women were more powerful financially and physically if the world would be better or not.

If you think it is already politically correct out there, just wait!

I know I am going to get slaughtered. Ready for attacks and people making fun or telling me I am wrong but I will feel better to get this off my chest...

I cry all the time. I look at a tree and cry, a bird and cry. "Soon, you too will be gone. But for these foolish men, and if it were up to me...you would always live, grow strong and fly"

Do you know why Do-Do birds are extinct? Because they were friendly, sociable animals and walked right up to the men that slaughtered them, down to the very last one. Like the great apes. Like the rain forest.

And the men trod on like programmed machines, killing, warring, and tearing it all down as if each great thing is a conquest to be beaten back in order to show their power over it and their awesome strength. That's great. You are tough. We get it.
There is a sad embarrassing element of truth to the redneck saying...if you can't shoot it or screw it - paint it. This is exactly what we do.
Women comfort the rejected, mend the injured and bear more young to be sent to war to die, then they cry for the dead and bear more young to be sent to war to die.
Sensitivity and empathy need cultivation. Teaching our sons to be hard, tough fearless and never cry.... is shooting ourselves in the foot.
You end up with men who are hard, tough, fearless and never cry...with lots of dead, dying and injured creatures all around them.

I hate what has been done to this planet and our world, and I live in a state of perpetual sadness for what might have been.
I don't blame male of our species entirely of course, but let us give credit where credit is due.

Fortunately, this paradigm is shifting.
