1,000 years ago, if we had women in positions of power and authority such as we do now, they would routinely be opening the city gates to let in enemy armies. All the enemy would need to do is have some women and children as hostages in the front ranks and the weepy women in the city would throw open the gates in order to "save the babies." Then they'd all be raped and led away in chains. Women really are that dumb.
