1. We respect all people because we are respectful. 2. We act with dignity and protect the dignity of others. 3. We do all things with integrity and honor.

So do I, but I don't have a vagina... how do you explain that?

If the overall authority figures in our history were reversed from Male to Females, things would still probably be in a similar state.

With your above logic, how do you explain Queen Elizabeth the 1st's invasion of Ireland and the expulsion and assasiantion of my ancestor, whom was a man, and was known in the area of Southern Ireland that he ruled as a great leader?

The History of the Sullivan/O'Sullivan Clan

......Donal O'Sullivan now realized that the Spanish reinforcements were not coming. It was obvious that all was lost in Munster. Famine conditions now existed and though he had considerable Spanish gold, there was little food available. He and approximately one thousand followers consisting of four hundred soldiers and the rest civilians began a journey to Leitrim to the castle of his friend O'Rouark. He believed that he could hold out longer amongst his northern allies, the O'Donnells and O'Neills. Carew declared them outlaws and decreed that anyone that aided them would be dealt with as outlaws as well. Throughout the 300 mile trek they were attacked by English forces and Irish that were loyal to Elizabeth. The country-side had been ravaged by war and famine; the people along the way were trying to stay alive themselves. They could ill afford to provide any aid or food. They began the march on December 31, 1602......

.....It became the responsibility of George Carew, the Lord President of Munster, to eliminate Dunboy castle, the O'Sullivan Beare principle fortress. It was the last rebel stronghold to hold out against the English. Donal was waiting at Ardea for reinforcements and weapons, and gold to pay his troops. He had been promised these by the Spanish envoy from Philip. While he was waiting, Carew's forces consisting of 4000 men and many cannon attacked the small garrison of 143 men left to defend Dunboy while waiting for the return of Donal and the Spanish reinforcements. A two day bombardment reduced the castle almost to the ground, but the defenders fought on. After two more days of fighting the remaining defenders, having retreated to the cellar of the castle, attempted to surrender. It was finally accepted. All were put to death by hanging the next day, except for Brother Collins, a Jesuit lay brother, who was hung in his home town of Youghal two days later. He had been acting as messenger between the O'Sullivans and King Philip and was not a combatant.....

Great Dignity, Honor and Respect shown in this example of a woman in power. Taking over Ireland in a Braveheat fasion and claiming it as her land.... forcing those to obey her or become enemies and face death, sent her armies after peaceful leaders of peaceful communities, betrayal, bribery, threatening pesants and other poor people of being branded outlaws and face punishment for trying to help out their fellow Irishman, cutting off food supplies, chasing these some 1000 civilians and soldiers through their long travels, taking land from the Irish to give to English Settlers... need I go on?

Some compassion women have, I must say, can be just as worse as any man's.
