If you have read anything about Crete and the Minoan's you will see what I am talking about. Not Matriarchy/Patriarchy but balance. This civilization was highly evolved and peaceful.

I agree it is rare that a woman should spear head a war, all the more reason to have a choice in the matter (wether to fight it or not). Most wars are created by men, which is not a slur on men but an indication of imbalance masculine/feminine. We all have masculine/feminine in us, it is not either/or but yes and both. Some men and women enjoy a fight. Some men and women don't. Men and women should not be forced to do or be something that goes totally against thier nature.

Without a doubt thier are inequalities on both sides but it has been created by our societies and is not a bilogical fact. Men and Women would not suffer if society came into balance but become partners instead of sparring partners. Obviously men can't have babies and I doubt there are many who wish they could. Men are stronger and usually more courageous (although this may be caused by society). All I am saying is that we are different yet equal and should play to our strengths whatever they may be. In balance.
