Turning Points

It goes without saying that most of the significant turning points in history came about as a consequence of decisions made by men, not women. It’s simply a fact. One may second-guess all they want about where we’d be in the meta-cosmic sense had men been generally less aggressive throughout history. My own speculation, for what it’s worth, tells me that the innate aggressiveness in men, turned to good, is the only force capable of defeating the innate aggressiveness of men turned to bad.

You’re welcome to disagree. Here’s another take on it.
