While I don't want to encouraged derailing of this topic into the highly passionate and divisive Israel-Gaza matter, have others noticed that the pro-Hamas protesters seem to be dominated and largely led by females. Their shrill voices over megaphones are the ones leading childish chants (and sometimes encouraging children to join them). To me, it's clear that knee-jerk emotionality and simplistic slogans drive their passion with little rational thinking, foresight about long-term consequences and consideration of combat strategy. Thinking muddled by emotion is one of the reasons women on average are less effective in high-threat situations. That's not to deny that a good proportion of women can think strategically and behave cold-heartedly, but their thinking and decisions still usually appear to be dominated by emotion.
