A better future thanks to mutually assured destruction?

Tagged:

Welcome to my world, with endless tales spinning about within the mind...and lets look at what we fear most. War. Death. Trauma. Bloodshed. It is a part of life that is imminent within all of our societies. Look at the conflicts between India and Pakistan, The US and everyone, North Korea and South Korea. Is it that we feel empowered by weapons? Or are we too afraid that someone, any actor within the international system is going to stab us in the back? Either way the security dilemma forces us to build up. To protect ourselves. Heck look at what the lovely USA is doing to assure us of our safety, making a missile defense system. Never mind the fact that we made a treaty to refrain from Star Wars. Are we more safe, by having the threat of hegemony removed. Then the "fake" Feminists who forget the actual definition of feminism, prance about as if having what are known as "feminine" qualities is what we really need. Forget about the real meaning of power, lets look at rainbows and butterflies and pretend that teamwork will make it all better. The fake feminism within our society allows for us to be blindsighted by the idea that we should remove all weapons. Work together as a team. however, others contest that we should build up our artillery to ensure our safety by mutually assured destruction. A better future-sure- if we have rational people making the decisions. Unfortunately with all the paranoia in our anarchic world, this may be impossible. If we remove weapons, their is a possibility of backstabbing, and attack, if we build up, say hello to a nuclear arms race. Wherein lies the better future in these promotions of peace.

I don't know if I understand the connection you were trying to make between mutually assured destruction and feminism, but your headline was eye-catching.
