the Ukrainian Question

[Lilith7]

Interestingly, peace groups were often predominantly made up of women.

A foremost reason must be the potential and real losses of husbands and sons; family livelihoods.

I'm struggling to think of women who have started wars. There might be a couple, but surely they'd be far, far outnumbered by men.

Just a thought: while wars tend to be started by men, it seems that peace tends to be brokered by them, too.

Yes, usually - eventually. After millions or thousands have been slaughtered, women have been widowed and/or lost their children, after children have become fatherless, after arms manufacturers & undertakes have increased their profits, & after countries & cities have been devastated.

The world is a weird place. And humans are crazy.
