Empowering Women

It’s common for people to wonder about human civilization, how it’s been dominated by men, and what form it would have taken if that weren’t the case.

Would war have become the default mechanism for settling disagreements between nations?  To what extent would there be nations at all, meaning tribal groups that generally act as competitors, rivals, even enemies?

How likely does it seem that a woman would rise to a position of absolute power, and use it to oppress millions of people, like a Mussolini, Hitler, Stalin, Xi, Kim Jong Un, Putin, or Trump (if he gets his way).

Sadly, it appears that we’ll never know how this could have turned out.  In fact, here in the United States, and in several countries around the globe, things are going in the opposite direction.
