General Discussion

while warfare and competition is seen as the epitome of success. In my frustration fueled moments, I blame hormones for overriding success strategies. But even I have to admit women don't get out of this free of charge. We are more likely to emphasize cooperation, fairness, and nurturing, but not always. Otherwise, the "Amazon Women" wouldn't be so popularized in comic books, etc.

What history I did study a long time ago, when I first began spiritual seeking, pointed out the cooperation between matriarchal tribes, until the warrior cult of Marduk and then ongoing into monotheism (of course with a male bias). Yet, when you get down to brass tacks, there is nothing more dangerous than a woman protecting her family, especially her young... and that's across species.

Like I said, I give up. At 70, it's going to be something I'll die never understanding. I'd so much rather be friends and allies and work cooperatively with people to accomplish things, than push the stress hormones in competition and anger.
