Are women less prone to starting conventional warfare than men?

Discuss this given Boris Johnson's recent comments

Theoretically yes. Practically no.

Explanation: Women who managed to get that far high in power probably ain't.

The idea that women are inherently non-violent is just sexism with a seemingly woke coat of paint.

"Women are less prone to violence" is a very different statement than "women are inherently non-violent". One of those things is empirically true, the other is an incorrect conclusion reached from that information.

It is indeed the foundational philosophical undoing of both patriarchal chauvinism and trans-exclusionary radical feminism that they take differences in the typical behavior between sexes and genders to be biologically innate, rather than psychosocially conditioned constructs that persist due to the widespread influence of the former's ideology in powerful institutions and the latter's overcorrection for as much forming a dynamic equilibrium ouroboros in which the conflict is self-serving spectacle for profit and clout.

In 3 of the 4 groups here, women are more in favor of political violence.

I believe there was a study a while back regarding the middle ages where women rulers were actually more prone to starting warfare since they lacked the "hands on" experience about how wars look like that men had (since your usual princess would stay all her time in the palace while your usual prince would have to go to war and train to become a soldier)

In any case, Indira Gandhi and Margaret Thatcher (among many others) disapprove of this thread.
