Women and War

Copyright: Peter Zohrab 2003

Feminists have told many lies, which have resulted in the oppression of men and children (both born and unborn). One of their lies has been that women, unlike men, are inherently peaceful and would make better leaders for that reason. Here are some facts that clearly refute that assertion:

• The page: http://www.bus.ualberta.ca/yreshef/zionism/goldah.html states that Golda Meir "collected fifty million dollars, which was used for purchasing weapons for the (Israeli Independence) war effort."
• On the same page, we learn that Golda Meir, as Prime Minister, led Israel to victory in the 1973 Yom Kippur War.
• On the page: http://www.indianchild.com/indira_gandhi.htm we learn about "India's decisive victory over Pakistan in the third war over Kashmir in December 1971", which was achieved under the leadership of another woman Prime Minister: Indira Gandhi.
• And across the border in Pakistan, there has also been a female Prime Minister: "Not unlike her father Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, Benazir had publicly pledged to conduct a 1000 year war with India." ( http://www.mnet.fr/aiindex/Kargil/price.html ).
• On: http://womenshistory.about.com/gi/dynamic/offsite.htm?site=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.bartleby.com%2F65%2Fku%2FKumartng.html we learn of a Sri Lankan female Prime Minister and President, Chandrika Bandaranaike Kumaratunga, who also presided over a war -- this one being a civil war.
• And let's not forget British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, who won the Falklands War: http://www.guardian.co.uk/falklands/story/0,11707,737423,00.html
• We see on page: http://www.wsws.org/articles/2001/nov2001/nz-n21.shtml that the New Zealand female Prime Minister offered to send troops to fight in Afghanistan in 2001..
• And we see on page: http://www.theage.com.au/articles/2003/05/19/1053196509268.html that Indonesia's female President, Megawati Sukarnoputri, has given up on negotiations and started a civil war in Aceh Provence.
• And now, finally, I must apologise to Philippines President Gloria Arroyo, whom I forgot to mention in my first draft of this article ! You can see the following statements about her on the webpage: http://www.apl.org.ph/ps/20030214nowar.htm : "Gloria Arroyo is a war freak just like Bush. As the US readies for war in Iraq, Arroyo has already launched her own carnage in Mindanao."

There have not been many female leaders on the World stage, and the above list mentions almost all of the prominent ones from recent decades. The fact that they were all involved in warlike activities is conclusive disproof of the claim that female leaders are inherently more peaceful than male leaders.

Another Feminist lie bites the dust !
