Do Women in authority lead to a more harmonious state.?
I was wondering after the further bloodshed in Egypt taking that they are famous for having women in ancient egypt and had near equal status till the last 20 years where there seems to have been an erosion of their rights and treatment which at its worst has coincided with an erosion of civility and an escalation of widespread violence.
My question is:
Does anyone know if a balance society with more women in authority and equal rights for women (including the military and the government and even religion) leads to a safer, harmonious peaceful, happy society less likely to descend into to anarchy and military rule or a police state with countless atrocities and eventual civil war and or genocide?
Or does evidence suggest that women make no difference to such events and are equally complicit in them?
Sorry I thought I was being clear - I did not say leaders I said authority which means all levels. I do not expect women to be the no1 position nec. but in all levels to cause a balance perspective in all things which would then spread to policy etc. which would give women civilians more power etc. or do women generals doctors lawyers police etc.are all equally likely to accept policies and actions which lead to the type of scenes we see in so many countries outside of the West (not saying we are perfect but I have never seen or heard of women stoning or a crowd of male protestors mowed down by gunfire by the state and hope I never will in my country).
After looking at countries on the list who have committed genocide and committed civil war in the last 50 years, there is a seemingly a lack of Female influence in all aspects of those societies.

This relies on the false assumption that career politicians are not cut throat, ambitious, and exhibit an unhealthy degree of narcissism and, often, psychopathic deviation, regardless of gender.
[Add] Oh, I assumed politics. Women in authority positions in, say, the workplace tend to do just as well as men, though I don't think we excel or anything. We just have a different approach to achieve the same results.

No. Throughout history the few women who were leaders were both good and bad. Mary, the infamous Bloody Mary, was obviously terrible, whereas Elizabeth did a great job.
Cleopatra was awful, but Hatshepsuit did a great job as well.
For people who say women can't lead, look at the Koreas. North Korea is lead by a man and they suck. Everyone hates them/is afraid of them and they have mass famine. South is lead by a woman and they don't have half as much problems, which is backwards considering they're the ones BEING attacked.

That is an interesting question, because a majority of the people in US government are men. However, I have no idea how it would affect society if it were 50/50 or majority women.

The whole idea you put forth is prejudice. Let switch this question up a little . " does having Africa Americans in power lead to a harmonious state?" then you go in to show examples of place that black people are in power and the negative things going on supposedly because of it. Your a bigotâ congratulationsâââððð
