A proposal aimed at reducing war and encouraging peace by reserving high public leadership roles for women only received far less than majority approval in a recently concluded poll of IEET readers.

Just 28% of respondents agreed that the idea is worth trying, while a plurality, 41%, rejected it altogether. Another 16% prefer the approach of employing genetic engineering to imbue all humans with peaceful qualities. About 6% of those responding think women should not only not lead, but should have their voting franchise rescinded.
