Also, diverting a bit, I suspect that women's violence towards men and children has also been greatly under-reported, due to embarrassment or fear.

I totally agree with that statement, but at least from my perspective it is at least *beginning* to be researched. Meaning that someone has taken an interest in that phenomenon and is trying to do something about it. Which is great, but that just further supports my point.

As to the QE and MT as heads of state, you are once again (unsuprisingly :)) correct. However, I wager that those wars were for political reasons - land, mostly, but also poverty and power, etc. I argue that for the men waging war, it is just as much a "Mine is bigger than yours is" war as it is a political standpoint.
