David Pearce, philosopher and founder of the world transhumanist society, has started a campaign for women only governments within 25 years, in order to stop wars.

Pure bullshit.

First I like the idea of the transhuman movement and I think it will probably happen... but the movement itself draws lots of self hating people who are unhappy with their lives and would like to use magic sci-fi technology to change themselves. I am going to guess that Pearce is gender dysphoric and he see's himself as a woman in the new world order.

2nd... The UK proves that this is dead wrong. During the first gulf war we had Queen Elizabeth as our head of State and Margaret Thatcher as our head of Government (both obviously women). When Iraq invaded Kuwait it was Thatcher who drove the war forward... hell she was the person that convinced Bush that war was the right thing to do (in her 'No time to get wobbly' conversation).

This entire idea is based on outdated gender roles.

Fuck when the first world war started the suffragettes were giving out white feathers to shame men into going to war.

This article doesn't surprise me coming from the same guy who wrote this little diatribe on why it'd be great if there were only women:

That guy just hates us, and fuck him for it.

levelate · 2011-03-07T08:32:46+00:00

this guy is fucking insane.

he wishes to rid the world of democracy, and this will help us end war how????

"People who say “men make war” are the same ones who find it sexist to say men make science"

melb22 · 2011-03-07T08:46:47+00:00

Note the inconsistency when it comes to gender. If men do well at something the idea that it's because of a natural sex distinction is rejected. Instead, we get told that such distinctions are merely socially constructed and that men do better because of some sort of unfair advantage granted them by discrimination or sexism.

But when it comes to something negative, like war, then suddenly sex distinctions are real and biological, so that the answer is to put women in charge. The much touted idea that sex distinctions are socially constructed suddenly falls out of view.

Where is the consistency?

In Pearce’s words:

There is one crude and spectacularly effective way to reduce global catastrophic risk. For evolutionary reasons, almost all wars are started and waged by men. Enacting legislation that allowed only women to stand for national public office would probably save hundreds of millions of lives this century—possibly more. I’d estimate the reduction in global catastrophic risk and existential risk would by its implementation lie at between 50% and 95%—actually closer to the latter percentage figure, but let’s be conservative. Can we imagine an all female executive and legislature authorizing, for example, the design and use of nuclear weapons systems?

If you value your sanity, do not read the comments of this article. I have never seen such a motivated mob of self-hating men.

The motives for war are power, resources, prestige and overall control of the planet and I think it's fair to say that a very small subset of all people possess the desire for these things.

Il128 · 2011-03-07T13:34:45+00:00

He's an idiot. See, Margaret Thatcher and countless others. I wonder if women can smell the pungent misogyny this "man" reeks of?

Godspiral · 2011-03-07T16:18:55+00:00

Arguing for elimination of male leadership based on evidence that corrupt warmongers have historically been male is the same logical fallacy as punishing jews because corrupt bankers tend to be jewish.

Imagining a patriarchy is the same crime as anti-semitism.

AnnArchist · 2011-03-07T14:31:54+00:00

wut . this is like Aeriks superhero.

fondueguy · 2011-03-07T15:22:18+00:00

Women already ask for war (the do this in an organized way but they also pick men who get wealthy over war and raise sons to be protective) its just that they use men as cannon fodder. That is to say "you go do my bidding" or "you protect me".

Women in charge could send men to die in war never knowing what its like. Hilary Clinton is a dumb bitch who said women are the primary victims of war because she doesn't know it at all and barely gives a shit about men dying.

I'll submit a thoughtful and constructive comment as soon as I stop laughing.

rantgrrl · 2011-03-07T18:15:31+00:00

So, am I uhh, correct in assuming that transhumanists want this because a good chunk of transhumanists are also into the whole transsexuality thing, and thus, want to be the little girls?

Gemini4t · 2011-03-07T10:44:20+00:00

I can just imagine a female president, running a White House entirely staffed by women, working long hours to the point where their periods all sync up.

If that day ever comes, I certainly hope we've disarmed our nukes.

ignatiusloyola · 2011-03-07T14:20:48+00:00

The problem with politics is that those who want to be in power are by definition exhibiting the qualities we should not want in our leaders.

It has nothing to do with gender.

ss_camaro · 2011-03-07T17:25:23+00:00

He rates very low on this scale.

2011-03-07T08:30:33+00:00

Let's do it.

Accelerating the collapse of civilization is the only way to get to rebuilding it sooner.

And the mobs will hang men like David Pearce.

2011-03-07T16:57:26+00:00

War Number One - Civil War.

It guarantees a war.

Girls aren't fighters? Ha ha. What kind of upper middle class, white bread school did this guy go to? In my school, when two girls went out it, it was very violent. Men use fists. Women tear each others shirts off, rip out earrings, causing disfigured earlobes, and attack each other with high heels. Come down to inner city Los Angeles Mr. Pearce, so we can educate you about cat fights.

Pearce says:

'Football players gained status colliding with cross-town enemies in gladiatorial arenas. Seductively-clad cheerleaders urged on the warriors and delivered sexual favors to the most ruthless tramplers and tacklers.'

Yet he doesnt understand that its women behind the problem, including the biggest conflict arena of war.

Wars are fought for resources. Women want resources from men, and so men go and get them.

Whats really important to note here, is that women control the majority of men. Thats the reality. There is a minority of men that actually go against the female idea of 'lets just take what we want and to hell with everyone else'. Its these men that have given us the civilizations we live in, and the stability within our societies that we enjoy.

People like David Pearce dont have the first idea about how the world actually works. He is dangerous, and he should not be listened to.

Offensive_Brute · 2011-03-07T09:47:28+00:00

poor self hating bastard. Women are emotionally unstable. If a man is gun with a hair trigger, a woman is a stick of dynomite. Some one still has to deliberately provoke violence from man. The woman will go off all by herself if seemingly trivial conditions are not met.

fondueguy · 2011-03-07T10:52:27+00:00

Women are the best at keeping the peace, in fact we need more women like Golda Mier in the government.
