Should Women Rule The World? You Decide!

These three polls are the same, but have been split up into three separate polls for women, men and men who wear women's clothing. The idea is to see how different groups approach the issue of women in power. Vote according to your gender, orientation and conscience!

Men are often blamed for all the problems in the world, and some people say that if women were in charge, the world would be a better place. But this this true? I don't know if there is really any independent, scientific sort of way to find this out, but we can certainly discuss our opinions on the matter if nothing else.

Women have a reputation for being softer, kinder, less likely to send troops to die in foreign countries. But women who come to power often behave in quite masculine ways, effectively subverting the whole idea of having women in power in the first place. Do women have to behave in masculine ways to get ahead in the world? Or is there room for delicate femininity in the halls of power?

On the other hand, is ruling something better left to a man anyway? Are men simply better prepared for leadership? They are certainly generally more prepared for hunting elk with spears and opening jars, and, as Brooke Hogan once pointed out, they are not prey to the hormonal influences and mood swings that women must endure on a monthly basis.

It is said that in ancient days, many tribal societies were matriarchies, not patriarchies. However, with modernity has come a highly patriarchal society, one which was famously challenged by the women's rights movement. Though women have made incredible progress in terms of equality since, say, the 1940's, some feminists still believe that women are discriminated against and held back in career and political progression.

Should women rule? Are women even capable of doing so?

In the name of opinion discovery and box making I have prepared three polls today. One is for men who identify as being manly to the core. One is for men who like to wear women's clothing, and the other is for women. Why have I split this single poll into three separate polls? For vague science, of course!

Depending on whether you're a man who identifies with the traditional male role, a man who years for the feminine, or a woman, feel free to place your answer to this puzzler in the appropriate poll. When and if enough people vote, we won't just be able to see if the general population thinks that women would be better off in charge, we'll also get to see how various groups feel on the issue. Who knows, maybe men will be more in favor of women being in charge than women themselves are? Maybe manly men will live up to their horrific misogynist stereotype. Or maybe lemming trolls will skew the data. Who knows!
