John MacArthur said, "When women take over a culture, men become weak...they can be conquered" [1] ['This Content Is Not Subject To Review Daily Kos Staff Prior To Publication.'] Date: 2024-06-14 This You Tube video is about a message from fundamentalist Christian pastor John MacArthur and his message is an ugly bigoted message of misogyny. He said, "Guess what? When women take over a culture, men become weak. When men becomes weak, they can be conquered." So, let's look at this argument: A: women take over a culture B: men become weak C: men can be conquered A->B and B->C, thus A->C. For logical argumentation, we need propositions, that is statements that are either true or false, but not both and are objective. To my mind, none of these statements are propositions as written. He needs to quantify these statements or create metrics and make them objectively true or false. There are many metrics which show that numerically women are not in power when compared to men. It is not weak to acknowledge the negative proclivities of men and to acknowledge that this nation and nations over the world would be better off, generally speaking, if women held a majority of the seats of power within a majority of countries on Earth including the United States. I don't understand C very well. How does one nation go to war only against the men in that other nation and only exclusively preside over the men in the nation and hold no power over the women? .

Women serve as elected heads of state or government in only 28 countries, according to the U.N . But a survey suggests the global public might happily welcome many more. About 70% of queried respondents believe that countries led by women tend to be better managed, according to a U.S. News survey involving more than 17,000 people from 36 countries. . Early on, The Hill reports that it appears women leaders managed the pandemic . . Women in American history are less violent and less likely to support War but European history doesn't agree . WOMEN were less likely than men to support the Vietnam war, the Gulf war, or the invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq. They commit far fewer murders. They are less likely to favour drone strikes. For scholars such as Steven Pinker, a psychologist, and Francis Fukuyama, a political scientist, these are grounds for thinking that a world run by women would be more peaceful. But European history suggests otherwise, . When there are female leaders at the negotiating table, the probability of a peaceful outcome increases significantly . Women’s participation increases the probability of a peace agreement lasting at least two years by 20 percent, and by 35 percent the probability of a peace agreement lasting 15 years. Analysis of 40 peace processes since the end of the Cold War shows that, in cases where women were able to exercise a strong influence on the negotiation process, there was a much higher chance that an agreement would be reached than when women’s groups exercised weak or no influence. In cases of strong influence of women an agreement was almost always reached. Conversely, a growing body of evidence shows unequivocally that women’s participation contributes to the conclusion of talks and the implementation and durability of peace agreements. Since the adoption of resolution 1325, there has been a substantial increase in the frequency of gender-responsive language in peace agreements and the number of women, women’s groups and gender experts who serve as official negotiators, mediators, or signatories. . In both times of war and of peace, women's political leadership helps build societies that benefit us all . It is impossible to reflect on International Women’s Day this year without thinking about the invasion of Ukraine. The gendered nature and impact of the conflict is clear. Those who were already vulnerable are facing even greater challenges to their immediate safety. Women are giving birth in basements or in high-stress conditions, with an estimated 80,000 women expected to give birth in the next three months while maternal health services are extremely strained. Men are forced to remain behind while women and children migrate out of Ukraine to neighbouring countries. Anecdotal accounts are increasing of human traffickers targeting women and children queuing at border checkpoints, made even more vulnerable by long queues and the cold. There are 2.7 million registered persons with disabilities in Ukraine, who are at risk of abandonment as shelters are not equipped to provide them with access, with women and children with disabilities more vulnerable to sexual violence. And as neighbouring countries welcome refugees from Ukraine, LGBT+ persons are entering countries with active hostility towards them. Meanwhile, we see examples of women coordinating service delivery and community response to the conflict, with many already bearing the caring load in their family structures. And parliament, including women parliamentarians, continuing to meet and pass legislation. Women ministers are in significant positions, for example, Iryna Vereshchuk, Deputy Prime Minister for Integration of the Temporarily Occupied Territories, and Hanna Malyar, Ukraine's Deputy Defence Minister. According to their male colleagues in the government, their contribution to addressing Ukraine’s humanitarian issues and mobilising resistance to the occupier is invaluable. “As women, as mothers and as members of the political leadership, they are doing more than men could have done in their positions, more, in fact, than is humanly possible.
