JUST PHILOSOPHISING ON - IF WOMEN RULED THE WORLD, WOULD IT BE SIGNIFICANTLY BETTER OR WORSE? Part 1.

 

 Self-confidence in their ability to transform themselves and the world, are necessary qualities or attributes of young people.  

Nearly in the same way as the certainty of their/our approaching demise is an inescapable awareness and even preoccupation of anyone of the age of, say 70 years old.

Of course, people who have attained the age of 70 years old, will themselves have traversed all the prior milestone ages, including that of having once been an adolescent and a young person. 

As such, with a bit or a lot of reflective consideration, those of us who are no longer defined as 'young people.' 

Should be able to recall and even identify with the sense of hope and aspiration which young tend to have.  For wanting to transform the world into 'a better place for you and for me', as it were.

Now, let us move onto the subject matter of this post, namely that of, 'If women ruled the world, would it be significantly better or worse'? 

Would the world be a better place, a better world, if it was ruled by women, instead of the seemingly perennial and, in the case of Europe and the United States,  almost continually white male ruler?

It is of course a very challenging task for any ruler of a country to rule it, with the challenge being bigger the bigger and more complex the nation and demographical factors.

One could, I would contend, validly argue that, in the truest sense, 'a ruler' is just that, a ruler, the most senior person in a country or nation, who is genderless. 

Being neither male nor female, as far as their status as 'the ruler' is concerned. 

In this context, being 'the ruler of the world' would not and does not mean that, if that person is a man, then, ipso facto, it means that 'men are ruling the world.'
