That Feminist Theory I Talked About

here is that theory i talked about about

Feminist scholars of IR agree that gender is important in understanding IR but diverge into several strands regarding their conception of the role of gender.
Difference feminists argue that real (not arbitrary) differences between men and women exist. Men think about social relations more often in terms of autonomy (as do realists), but women think in terms of connection.
Difference feminists argue that men are more warlike on average than women. They believe that although individual women participants (such as state leaders) may not reflect this difference, the participation of large numbers of women would change the character of the international system, making it more peaceful.
Liberal feminists disagree that women have substantially different capabilities or tendencies as participants in IR. They argue that women are equivalent to men in virtually all IR roles. As evidence, liberal feminists point to historical and present-day women leaders and women soldiers.

So what this is saying is that Women are from Venus and Men are from Mars.

People will forget what you said.
People will forget what you did.
But people will never forget how you made them feel.

one of the main reasons i disagree with this theory is that they say that men are more warlike on average, yet they can offer no proof. In spite of having no proof they also ignore evidence to the contrary. I am referring to the statement that "men are more warlike on average than women. They believe that although individual women participants (such as state leaders) may not reflect this difference". such important and violent state leaders such as Khertek Anchimaa-Toka (Tuvinian/Soviet) politician and part of the tuvinian revolutary party, Margret Thatcher ( british priminister) went to war over the falklands, Indira Gandhi (indian priminister) when to war with pakistan over the kashmir region and did much to accelerate the nuclear program in india, making it the youngest nation with nuclear capabilites (at the time). I simply believe that women are just as likely to make war as men but because of numerous reasons (that i can't be bothered going into right now) there haven't been as many female state leaders. This theory also fails to recognise that the majority of non violent leaders are male, e.g. The Dalai Lama, Lech Wałęsa, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr, Cesar Chavez, Benigno Aquino Jr., Desmond Tutu, and Nelson Mandela

Holy Cow..pun intended.

Forget what my wife and I do. Ask Sarah. She and I have butted heads here many times yet we remain friends. Why is that? Because we discuss things. We may not discuss things that day, my wife and I know when to take a breather too. People, male or female can agree to disagree. What can you live with or without is the question.

We make a lot of jokes here, but I try to respect others unless I'm attacked without equal respect, this happened only a week ago to me.

In marriage it's an even more serious commitment especially when kids are involved.

For me my Christian beliefs come into play which I live: Wives, submit to your husbands as to the Lord. . . . Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her.– Ephesians 5:22, 25

This is a reponsibility to the wife, but a greater responsibility to the husband.

No matter how you look at it though, it all boils down to mutual respect.

People will forget what you said.
People will forget what you did.
But people will never forget how you made them feel.
