Women as "Instruments of Peace and Security"

This is it. Women have their chance to save the world and prove they are a much more peaceful  force than men. How long have they bemoaned about the violent and harsh nature of men and that if only more women were involved a blanket of peace would cover the land. Well, this is their chance. Let's see how the next several decades go.

"The United States hopes to prevent and defuse conflicts by getting more women seated at negotiating tables around the world, U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said on Monday.
Clinton said a new U.S. plan, signed by President Barack Obama, would help train and give more voice to female community members who often have a strong sense of how to address dangers and strains in conflict zones.

"Women are bellwethers of society and, in fact, sometimes they do play the role of canary in the coal mine. They know when communities are fraying and when citizens fear for their safety," she told a Georgetown University event."

Since at least the 1800s a women's delicate, peaceful nature, has mistakenly given rise to women as the morally superior sex. Because women appear more 'soft' than men they all of a sudden have a "strong sense" of how to handle conflict. What is always forgotten is that women, as much as they may appear as angels, are also fallen human beings with the same tendencies and gravitations toward sin that men have. Women can be more deceptive in their sin as they naturally are wearing sheep's clothing.

The campaign for women to vote was lead largely by the ideal of women as morally superior and that if only women could vote, the country would be changed around--that women would have a calming, peaceful effect on politics. Well, nearly 100 years later and has politics really changed now that women can vote? Of course what will be said, is that not enough women are voting or not enough women are involved in politics. "If we can just get MORE women involved, then we will see a difference".  There is always some magical amount of women being involved that we never reach, but yet is suppose to solve everything. What is hard for the modern woman to admit is that being woman by virtue alone does not make them a magical wand. Their sinful nature is not erased by their sex. 

Also, if women know when communities are fraying, they must have missed the boat here in America. Before they get involved in world conflicts, they could start mending the home front. Although ironically, they are the reason many communities are fraying; through feminism we have seen the destruction of the nuclear family--the heart of the community.

"As a result, U.S. combatant commanders will have an officer dedicated to gender issues to ensure protecting women is central to planning, and American diplomats will focus on bringing women into the political process as a core part of their work."

Why do they need protecting? If they are equal to men or superior to men in peaceful negotiating, they should be able to handle it like men. Plus their peaceful nature should instantly calm any foe out to do harm (sarc.).
