On the Fact that (According to Recent Paper from the University of Chicago - https://www.eviemagazine.com/post/history-says-that-female-leaders-are-more-likely-to-wage-war-than-men/?fbclid=IwAR3s5LbYreG7O85ArOFZ1wzFwAtiOdvzmwT_z2DXzty8qkCqO0B4StcZI5w) from 1480 to 1913, European Queens Were 27% More Likely to Wage Wars than European Kings (Married Queens the Most Likely of All to Do so)

Granted, not all wars are the same and so perhaps the queens had more justification for their wars but, still, it does throw at least a mild monkey-wrench into that whole gentler sex argument, wouldn't you say?.......................................................................................................P.S. The authors also point of out that a fair number of contemporary female leaders (Golda Meir, Indira Gandhi, Margaret Thatcher, etc.) have continued that tradition, adding even more fuel to the argument.
