15. that's a bit silly
but I can name several wars started or continued by women rulers, Catherine the Great, the various female rules of England, Queen Isabella of Spain I believe, Margaret Thatcher against Argentina...

I dont really think war is a "male" trait, its an animal trait, humans, apes/monkeys, even all the way down to ants "war" for various reasons, territory, resources, etc.

It might even be said that plants to a certain extent "war" each other although that's probably stretching the point a wee bit.

I think humans may finally be able to say we have taken the first step to a higher level when we can get past the animal nature that is war...but thats going to take a few thousand years.
