I find that very true - I often think of obstacles I have to overcome in militaristic or war terms - since that seems to fit so well with everything. This just shows how we are programmed for conflict, from the smallest to the largest - which can be a "double edged sword" as stated by the article.

Nothing is as effective as homeopathy.

I think I mostly agree with that. They, however, do and can engage in war. If I felt it was the right thing to do, I would fight.
And how are you today?

I'd like to suggest that women are less likely to go into combat because of family, rather than a lack of aggression.

In terms of career options, if you think you're going to want to have a child, "hmm... let's join the army" is not going to jump to the top of the list. IMO.

Pfft.

Men are expendable. Consider the human reproductive cycle - a woman can have 1 kid every year at best (and often if not usually died in childbirth up to a handful of decades ago). Men can have pretty much an unlimited number as long as there are enough women around. Men can lead "nasty brutish" lives and if the best of the best male genetic stock survives, with the rest in an early grave, so much the better. This was probably the recipe for humanity's evolution...
As a good person, I implore you to do as I, a good person, do. Be good. Do NOT be bad. If you see bad, end bad. End it in yourself, and end it in others. By any means necessary, the good must conquer the bad. Good people know this. Do you know this? Are you good?
