Iceland: 'Let women tame the macho excess'
Article here. Excerpt:
'It's typical: the men make the mess and the women come in to clean it up, joked an Icelandic banker about the appointment of two women to rebuild Iceland's collapsed financial system. The promotion of Elin Sigfusdottir and Birna Einarsdottir to run the nationalised New Landsbanki and New Glitnir banks respectively is an attempt by the Icelandic government to draw a line under the past and start again. The macho culture of irresponsible risk-taking that many now blame for Iceland's financial meltdown will no longer be tolerated.
Bringing in the women, pooper-scoopers in hand, would seem to be an admission that the men have screwed up, big time - for, let's acknowledge it, financial firms are still largely run by men, for men. Radical voices are calling for the testosterone-ridden rules to be torn up and rewritten along more feminine lines. 'The current crisis gives us the opportunity to insert gender into the re-writing of the rules,' said Nadereh Chamlou, one of the World Bank's senior advisers. 'We need new people at the table - people who are not associated with the past,' she adds. Enter the women...'

of course
the absurd amounts of social programs, largely directed at women have no role in this. The excesses of women only funding and gender mainstreaming in Iceland are the very social policies that allowed the mess in Iceland to become so bad. A country that has a gender imbalance in education as high as 80-20. I think the argument can be made the meltdown in Iceland is because of women friendly social policies, and having them clean it up is, well like of much of European gender engineering programs, a recipe for continued economic stagnation. Ironically these programs were been made possible by the very risk taking that has created the wealth to implement these experiments.
There have been another study
which says that
"Women, even when well-educated in other areas, tend to know less about handling money than men"
LMAO

Hate Speech from a Female Supremacist
This article reeks of hate speech. The whole basis of the argument is the credit crisis was caused because of men and their testosterone driven male behaviour. She fails to mention the rules in which financial institutions operate in, instead focusing the whole article on personal attacks against men and glorifying females. The author Emma De Vita comes across as a Female supremacist using studies, from feminist academia no doubt, to basically say how superior the female mind is to men's and if women were in charge everything would be so much different, in other words women are superior to men and they would not have caused this mess if they ruled the world, etc.
Could a man get away with the female equivalent of these:
testosterone-ridden rules, testosterone-enhanced culture,
The idea that women are sensible and collaborative and men are competitive and aggressive has been with us ever since Fred Flintstone chucked Wilma over his shoulder...
...Yabba-dabba-doo for the chief execs in heels, then.
It's typical: the men make the mess and the women come in to clean it up, joked an Icelandic banker about the appointment of two women to rebuild Iceland's collapsed financial system.
Would a healthier gender balance have helped us to avoid our recent testosterone-enhanced crash, Some argue that it was an excess of macho tendencies that led to foolish City risk-taking.
Because women bring different qualities to the table; qualities that balance out damaging testosterone-driven behaviour, and replace it with something more sound
If there had been more women around to balance out the toxic levels of testosterone in City institutions, then perhaps fewer mistakes would have been made.
Testosterone enhanced crash? So testosterone makes problems worse? Is there an equivalent estrogen enhanced crash? Damaging testosterone-driven behaviour? So men's behaviour is damaging and toxic like a pollution? Emma De Vita needs to be servely lambasted for her sexist hate speech. Here's her email:

Actually
Actually, no one pays attention to this feminist stupid bullshit anymore except of male feminists (who are even stupider than female ones).
Here is one of the countless proofs:
Fewer women in top jobs

manonthestreet Don't defend

Don't defend the bankers male or female. As I have said in other posts we here are free men and don't want to be dominated by male bastards of female bitches. The question should not so much be male or female bankers but do we have bankers at all who have the power to create misery for us all?
It's all very easy to blame men when things go wrong...
But what evidence does she have to this not happening under women? It's funny that these sort of people are the same people who think stereotypes are a social construct with very little genuine intersex difference yet they're willing to throw stereotypes at ALL men in order to strengthen their non-existant point. I've observed companies completely collapse under the guidance of women numerous times as I have observed companies grow steadily under risk-taking women. What she also fails to say is that male participation in organizations is actually strongly correlated to economical (as well as member) growth of these organizations. Typical Iceland woman.
estrogen enhanced crash?
Broadsword:
I would say it happens once a month for about five days.
A hunter once told me .."Never trust anything that bleeds for five days and doesn't die."
