Just a thought. Women don't have the testosterone men do, are inherently more understanding, sympathetic and nurturing. Had women ruled the world since ancient times do you think we would be living in a world without war, violence, brutality, etc? A world where the likes of torture, violence, doesn't exist? Where considering women communicate more we could always just talk all our problems out, where things like child labor, oppression, tyranny don't exist, and we don't end up with people like
Like ghengis khan, Stalin and especially Hitler exist?

Some of our most feared leaders were women.
Bodicea (Warrior Queen), Queen Mary I (Bloody Mary), Queen Elizabeth I (The Virgin Queen) and even Margaret Thatcher (the Iron Lady).
Women want to be equal to men, but they don't mind when they are shown to be superior to men in some aspect? Just wondering. (And I can hear the "how dare you!" posts coming before I hit the "Post" button.)
You have to keep in mind that a caring, nurturing female would not be the type that would succeed in the political realm. It takes a certain amount of narcissism and aggressiveness to become a leader or to run and be elected to office.
As a professional ice skater as a kid, I grew up in an arena controlled by females. Daily I would see mothers throw their kids into walls, push them on the ground, pull their hair, slap them, etc., all for not performing well enough on the ice. No one stopped them, in fact, they would instigate the abuse just to keep their kid’s competitor off-kilter psychologically (“Sally is still doing pretty good, despite that extra weight she has put on.”). The ONLY time we kids knew we were safe was if a dad got time off work to come watch their child practice. On those days, the mothers would put on a show of being loving and nurturing. Why? Combination of putting on appearances and knowing that dad would yank their kid from the sport if they were forced to acknowledge what was going on in their kid’s life.
Obviously personal experience has tainted my opinion, but to me the whole “if women ran the world there would be (insert your utopia here)” is nothing but a bunch of cra*.
It would be more moral but less advanced. War, violence, capitalism, etc. cause scientific advancement and create wealth.
It would absolutely not be any more moral. While some women don't like to personally engage in physical violence, they are just as likely as men - perhaps more - to try and hurt their opponents by whatever means necessary. And being in charge means you have your killings carried out by others.
Some of the most vicious, bloodthirsty rulers in history were female. Catherine Medici was the biggest instigator behind the St Bartholomew's day massacre.

No. Humans, regardless of race or gender, are terrible creatures with a violent streak that will never die. The world would be slightly different but not by much.
Actually, matriarchate was dominant before patriarchate stepped in.
Also, you ever watched two women fight? Not MMA gals, just regular females. They are cruel. They go for pain and hurt. Guys still have some sense of sportsmanship in them.
