Well, I must be some kind of medical freak then. Because I find my erection is not involuntary at all. It is a result of sexual arousal.

Until you're short-drop hanged (the appearance of erections and ejaculation in the condemned is well-known) or have your prostate electro-stimulated, or your blood-pressure suddenly rises due to an increased heart-rate (like panic), etc...

If they are not sexually excited (ie - if they are not biologically consenting) then it wont get hard

Bullshit. I seriously doubt all those hanged men were sexually excited.

Violence is alien to the female pyschology entirely.

Boudicca. Carla Faye Tucker. Lizzie Borden. Joan of Arc. Shall I go on?
Quote:

Yes, it is true that woman can and do commit acts of violence (although of course far less and far less brutal than men)
|
I wouldn't call Carla Faye Tucker "less brutal" than anybody short of Andre Chicatillo. The woman murdered two people with a pickaxe, bashed them both to a pulp, and reported experiencing orgasm with each blow.

It is against the true nature of the female to engage in any act of physical or emotional violence.
|
Hmm. So how do you explain violent women? Oh, right, they're "Psychologically male" because of immersion in a cruel Capitalist society that is dominated by men. Odd, then, that so much child-abuse, murder, sexual assault, etc....commited by women exists in the historical record from before Capitalism came into being.

As for Countess Bathory - it is widely held that the accusation of bathing in blood etc are nonesence that the crimes she was alleged of committing were cooked up. There is no real evidence that she was anything more than a victim.
|
Please present evidence, then, that Contezza Bathory was a victim of anything. If it is, as you say, "widely held," some evidence shouldn't be hard to find. The primary-source records are very clear. The trial transcripts are very clear. Only one accredited historian, Lazslo Nagy, has disputed these findings, and his view of the incident is not borne out or supported by any other historian of whom I'm aware.

Maggie Thatcher and Golde Meir did not make war on their own, they were leaders of countries involved in conflicts.

Hair-splitting. Both were in charge and could have stopped the bloodshed at any time. Neither one did.

And in the case of the English attack on the Argentinian Maldives island,

You are aware, aren't you, that Argentina invaded the Falklands? You know, flag at the whaling station and all that?
Quote:

this was hardly a major conflict, more like gunboat dimplomacy from a fading empire unwilling to accept its diminishing world power.
|
It was a "major" enough conflict to require two carriers, several boatloads of troops, and the borrowing of advanced AIM-9 missiles from the United States. And even with all that, the only thing which saved the British forces was the fact that fewer than 50% of Argentine anti-ship weapons exploded and the Argentines had to keep large percentages of their land forces on the Chilean border.

Joan of Arc was a general, and was probably pyschologically male (I believe she dressed as a man for example)
|
1: Define "psychologically male" and provide sources.
2: You're in no position to diagnose anyone from the distance of history.
3: She "dressed as a man" because nobody made armor with built-in brassieres. For formal events, such as the crowning of King Charles at Rouen and her numerous appearances before French and English courts, St. Joan dressed as a woman. In fact, attempting to -force- her to wear men's clothing (by confiscating her own, feminine attire) was one of the final humiliations heaped upon her at trial.

Boudica was a freedom fighter, not a warlord.

The distinction you attempt to draw is immaterial, irrelevant, and intellectually dishonest. You never said anything about "warlords." You said:

And women do not make wars.

Which is a definitive statement: "this fact is 100% true all of the time." My examples, Boadicca being the closest to your own home, show that your definitive statement is not true. Boudicaa "made" very effective war against the Romans for quite some time. Joan Of Arc made -very- effective war against the English; she -won- her war! Anne Bonney made "little wars" against Spanish, as did her friend and shipmate Mary Reed. Both women were known as "hellcats" and ferocious killers. Fa Mulan made such a little badass of herself that she got written into "Romance Of Three Kingdoms" as a Wei general "who frightened all men but Zhang Fei, so great was her prowess with the throwing sword," and the de-gored Disneyfied version of her story pissed off the Chinese so badly that a major-studio live-action biography of her is due for release this year. And I have personally known any number of female wrestlers, boxers, MMA fighters, fencers, Kung-Fu artists, shooters and hunters who would -love- to go 5rds with you after reading some of your crap about women and their capabilities. Got one little redheaded
Sabreur in mind right now who'd cut you to pieces before you even saw her coming. Trust me: -that- little hellcat is a borne killer. Her technique actually isn't very good, but killer instinct? -THAT- she has in spades, and I've got the scars to prove it.
