        Less vengeful?! LMFAO. I agree they dont use guns, knives, clubs to seek revenge relative to males which would skew the stats used to score vengefullness. Does your stats include Family Courts? Id rather take 100 punches to the face than lose my kids and money for 25 years.

        Women are very nice, but I wouldn't want to be married to one.

        That would go some way to explain why Muslim countries are such violent shitholes.

        So how do you make sure you weed out the less belicose then?

        Did you just assume the gender of women? @RealElfwick we've got a live one.

        Best peace tool is economic prosperity, trade and freedom/democracy (or path towards it). I suspect The personality of negotiators have very little to do with outcome. Colombia has become an economic marvel and it’s normal for peace to follow. Similar for Algeria in late 90s.

        1. Collerlation doesn’t mean causation 2. Since we’re talking about gender traits,Negative female traits (propensity for negative emotions) can also have the reverse effect or at least let’s talk about both . You can’t choose only good from F and bad from M and draw conclusions

        Hmmm We maybe are less vengeful but definitely more rancorous. (btw, I'm a woman)
