Looking at the violent past of the human race, many have come up with a suggestion of females leading society  to ensure a tranquil environment, others are in direct opposition of this view, and present their own opinion.  

The opinion about women taking up leadership positions in governance of a country is underpinned by the innate personality traits this gender possesses, which instead of being impulsive are more rational and well-reasoned. Such instincts imbibed them with the ability to delve deeper into the problems, analyse them from multiple angles, and derive practical ways out. This patient approach fuels pragmatism and helps evade discord and altercations even in the situation of hostilities with their rivals.

However, others are quite cynical of the former opinion and instead ridicule it. As per them, battles and tyrannical rules have been the outcomes of greed and hunger for power, which has rarely spared either of the genders: invasions to control more and more land as in the case of Americas for which the British and Spanish queens waged bloody battles: and conspiracies and assassinations to wrest power also involved as many queens as kings. 

Moreover, antagonism and rebellious uprisings in the face of suppression are not the outcomes of gender based attributes. When it comes to fighting for justice against oppressive regimes, or bringing revolutions, society has never waited for any particular sex, but followed those prepared to don the mantle and risk their lives, the Jon of Ark and Queen of Jhansi are the shining examples of leaders who put up armed resistance.

Overall,  I feel it is unfair to judge males as violent leaders and consider their female counterparts as better rulers. Gender can be determinant in clash of sexes but not in conflicts between countries and societies.
