Throughout history, male leaders have led us into violence and conflict. If a society is governed by female leaders it will be more peaceful. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this opinion?

History is full of
violence
and conflicts. Some occurred basically due to male egos and others due to certain disagreements. I disagree with the fact that male leaders have led us into
violence
and conflict and if the
society
is governed by the female leaders it would have been better and peaceful. Some points can better explain my disagreement.
Firstly
, history had very few female leaders as mostly the males dominate
society
. But if we take the example of Rani Lakshmi Bai, she
also
ended up into
violence
and conflict, though her fight was for justice and pride not for satisfying ego. Another instance is of the
first
lady Prime Minister of India Indira Gandhi had taken decisions wherein the
society
suffered
violence
.
Further
, males are physically strong from females due to evolution and because of
this

they had fought with courage and strength.
Hence
, history reveals examples where female leaders were over-powered by the male leaders as the
society
can be ruled by the one's who possess strength.
Also
, the woman always thinks with an emotional viewpoint. Whereas, males are mostly practical with their thoughts and they handle issues
accordingly
.
However
, the conclusion is that both the genders can cause conflict and
violence
and
thus
I do not agree on the fact that females leaders could have governed the
society
peacefully.

Word Count

IELTS says that you should write a minimum of 250 words in writing task 2. If you go under word count you will lose marks in task response.

A very long essay will not give you a higher band score.

Aim for between 260 to 290 words in writing task 2. This will ensure a concise essay and will be realistic in terms of time management. You have only 40 minutes to write the essay and you need around 10 minutes of planning time, so you will not be able to write a long essay in 30 minutes.
