CS Monitor asks: "What if women ran the world?"
Submitted by anthony on Sat, 2009-04-04 21:38
Article here. Excerpt:
'San Francisco - It is getting harder to escape the sense that most of the trouble in the world – whether it's coming out of the Senate, a mortgage lender, or a tank turret – can be traced to one overriding problem: too many men steering. Had our economic, domestic, and foreign policy been more informed by women, we might be enjoying a safer ride.
Doubt it? Here's a test. Would any of the women you admire have set up a healthcare system as byzantine, costly, and underperforming as America's? Or a financial system where mortgage lenders don't have to care about being paid back? Or a bailout that spends $1 trillion in public money to subsidize the purchase of junk debt from the same geniuses that generated it?
It may be time for guys to hand over the keys, ask for directions, and sit (quietly, please) in the back seat for a while.'

Women In Control
Femitwats exclusively in charge of banking and health care would be to those institutions what the Octomom is to the institution of motherhood.
As usual my reply is...
...prove it or STFU.
So women "build" better wells in India do they? No, they order men to build wells for them in India. Let's get our facts straight, shall we?
As for the fact that women now own nearly half the businesses in America, the author fails to point out that these women collectively earn about half of what self employed men earn.
This "if women ran the world" nonsense is getting old and it's demonstrably false. Move along already.
If women were that superior...
If women were that superior, they'd be in charge now instead of having to get special breaks from the government to keep up. It is obvious that women don't want to make the sacrifices to be on top. The fact of the matter is that men are not in charge but special interests are. And feminism is but one of the special interests.
Having coerceable men in government is not "being in charge". Until the government starts becoming afraid that men will vote them out of office, the government will still screw men and boys.
Which means men should always vote against any elected official who works to destroy men and boys -- NO MATTER WHAT THE CONSEQUENCES!
And don't forget that the Global Men's Strike is 09-09-2009 (999). Take that day off -- don't do any work. You deserve it!
Blind to Bigotry, apparently.
They might be on to something here... but lets take it one step further.
Maybe it's time the whites just gave control over to the nonwhites. It's clearly the fault of white people, who make up most of the senate and house of representatives, that the world is the way it is. Perhaps whites should give the keys over to the nonwhites and sit in the back seat for a while. Nevermind the fact that the president himself is African American. Just like the article writer doesn't mind the fact that most women in politics vote the same way as their male counterparts for the most part.
This sounds unbelievably bigotrous; as does this junk article.

Wait a minute, so women are
Wait a minute, so women are now almost half the work force and are "now majority owners of nearly half of the private companies in the country.", and yet the world is going to hell in a hand basket now? What does that tell you? It must mean women are causing the problems! ;)
How About This?
Guys should hand women the keys, eh? Yeah, and every empire in history just submitted to whoever wanted to take it over, right?
Women who want to be leaders should have to prove themselves and not just have the power handed to them due to their gender. Male leaders have to prove themselves too. Perhaps not to the general public, but the elite that selects who will be president next. I'm sure they wouldn't mind putting a female face on their agenda.
Nevertheless, I find it amazing how articles about how women have been held back due to traditional gender roles and stereotypes, are always overflowing with male stereotypes. It's a load of hypocrisy and garbage!
