Many people believe that women make better parents than men and that is why they have the greater role in raising children in most societies. Others claim that men are just as good as women at parenting.

The human

history

has been violence and conflict-stricken since the beginning of the human existence. If we look back in

history

or to the world around us, we see wars, conflict,

reveals that society has always been predominantly male dominated, with leaders and rulers mainly being men. It is,
