Hey, Spaw & Troll...Yeah, of course there are always examples of individual women who are thoroughly violent and bloodthirsty when given the opportunity...I was just speaking of general tendencies, that's all. But you probably know that...

Maggie Thatcher was another really aggressive one. I believe she was more macho and masculine, in a sense, than any other British Prime Minister since Churchill. She certainly loved taking a hard line. A devil in skirts, she was. Sure gave the Argentinians one hell of a shock. Women make good war leaders because they defend their country with the utter tenacity of a mother bear defending her cubs.

Elizabeth the 1st of England is a spectacular example. Likewise Catherine the Great of Russia.

One thing about women...when they reach the position of high office they tend to try harder than most of their male counterparts, because they feel they have to prove themselves.

Elizabeth was a brilliant leader, and she changed the destiny of Europe forever.
