Not exactly a flame, and I'll try to be interesting.  Your reference
to Ghandi in this context is rather strange since, if you will
remember (or care to read any history books on the subject), Ghandi's
'liberation of India' let to one of the bloodiest civil wars in
history.  The Muslims and Hindus each tried to exterminate the other
in order to be the 'ruling party' when the British left.  
  	The British knew this would happen.  They tried to tell the
world that it would happen, but nobody was interested in listening.
Ghandi had the world brainwashed.
	This doesn't mean that I believe in 'the war of the sexes',
just that I don't believe in 'peaceful' civil disobedience.
