how many women started wars? Even female queens tend to avoid wars, such as Queen Elizabeth I. Unlike her father, she was very averse to war.

Most of the time when we've had atrocities committed, the leader was male - Hitler, Mao, Stalin, Pol Pot, Idi Amin... Genghis Khan, Alexander... I'm not saying women haven't done their part or been truly horrible human beings because they can be pretty bad. But war is generally the provence of men.
