Conquer Club

I'm female and loved risk even when I was a young girl. I've noticed that not only are the players mostly male, but mostly teenage boys!!!

Except Roman and Greek cultures were strikingly similar. Women didn't have a major role in Greek life, but they weren't excluded.

Watch this... 2 out of 3 in this risk game are female...

typical!

Robinette, my sweet, the only game of strategy I would recommend to the majority of woman-kind would be Battleship, as it most closely resembles Bingo!

Jim Morrison once wrote a song about Battleship and Bingo!, titled "The Crystal (Battle) Ship", with which I will now woo you. *Ahem*

"B-4 you slip into unconsciousness
I'd like to have another miss
Another flashing chance at bliss
Another miss, another miss

The days are bright and filled with pain
Enclose me in your gentle rain
The time you ran was too insane
Well meet again, well meet again

Oh tell me where your freedom lies
The streets are fields that never die
Deliver me from reasons why
You'd rather cry, I'd rather fly

The crystal (battle) ship is being filled
A thousand girls, a thousand thrills
A million ways to spend your time
When we get back, I'll drop a line..."

Lol I love it.

I see you're still ignoring the rest of my points.

His point is that the history of them was written by men.So its not a true account..The book Men are from Mars and Women are from Venus was written by a couple so shows a non-bias view.
Since a man wrote about the History of Greek/Roman culture some might say it is bias.
Women have always been repressed and still are in every society.Just some more then others.

Evita Peron of Argentina (yes i know that Juan Peron was technically the dictator, but she did a lot of the "behind the scenes" planning

We could say Catherine II of Russia

and in mythology(ok it doesnt count at all)there are some war goddess...

Any queens of England can be considered dictators, just the current one respects the democratic process. But they have the power to veto all laws that any of the Commonwealth countries make. The current one just doesn't.

lokis, pepsi, ms caro, clap, happy

Dictators can not be classed as such if they reach ultimate power through hereditary accession.
