One of the tropes of gender feminism is that if women were in charge, there would be less war and violence. Well, ignoring the notorious cruelty of Afghan women, it turns out that women were heavily involved in the Final Solution.

So when I clicked to the link, on either side of the story were ads using either vintage (or recreated) B&W photos of fit youths in ’30’s-’40’s era exercise outfits, looking like something out of a Nazi propaganda film.
Talk about irony.
I cannot think of a gender that produced Nancy “Guilty Guilty Guilty” Grace as one that is naturally peaceful.
(Of course, I don’t consider any large demographic as naturally peaceful. Not even baseball fans – sorry, that’s one point where I disagree with George Carlin’s “Baseball vs. Football.”)
You don’t know a woman until you have met her in court.
Yes, but men are so awful:

Ann “Voting for Obama is the intellectual choice!” Althouse, you mean?
Casanova wrote an account of watching the the execution of Robert-François Damiens, attempted regicide of King Louis XV of France. They had rented a room overlooking the square where Damiens was executed in the most horrific manner imaginable (I do no recommend anyone reading about it) for some $700 in today’s money. Casanova couldn’t watch much of Damiens’ horrible suffering, but the women never turned away once. They claimed that what he had done was so horrific (inflicting a tiny stab wound into the King) that they could not feel badly about Damiens’ suffering. I can barely stand the memory of the account. Those women loved watching it. They are definitely the crueler of the two sexes.
