I learned something new today, thank you. I've served under female Soldiers of substantially higher rank, and I've had female bosses and supervisors. Some were good, some were bad, no different than male leadership, really. Honestly, if it were just directives on paper, I wouldn't be able to tell if they were written by a man or a woman. The whole "kinder and gentler" thing doesn't make sense to me, though, because in Korea during my first room clearing exercise, it was my squad leader who told me to make sure every "hadji" was dead. She was very stern about it, too. The gender doesn't matter to me, their skills and knowledge do. Just as with anybody else.
Have you seen a group of all women in action? It does not work out to well. Besides it had nothing to do with there ability to rule or govern.
Just admit your hatred of all things male and move on. :roll:
That's such an asinine statement.
I do not hate men.
What I hate is our completely inept and totally bastardized system of government.
I want drastic, mind bending change.
I want people to scream: "Holy PHUCK!!!! I have had enough!!!!"
I refuse to hope/think/believe that repeating the same thing over and over and over will yield different results.
Nothing to do with gender though the fairer sex are equally capable.
Really? Then why are so many dead-set against it? Why is the government so lop-sided?
Is it simply because women are that much smarter then men, and chose to stay out of the gigantic cluster-phuck that is Washington DC?

Dragonfly I dont think most men have any problem voting for a woman...and lets be realistic intelligence isnt gender driven...some men are some women are..etc....Govt is lopsided because more men run...not because more women lose...
I wish I could believe that....but look at many of the posts here...it's not very reassuring.
Your experience differs considerably from mine.
Especially with regards to female squad leaders doing house-clearing...
I was being a sarcastic bastard. Of course matriarchies have existed, Britain alone has been one numerous times.You'd be surprised...

...Minoans might have been matriarchal as well.
Why not? I kinda like the idea that we wouldn't have been in Afghanistan more than 4 weeks longer then was necessary. Maybe the post-haste offered by women would be a good thing.I would prefer not to have a major war every fourth week, thanks.
Men have pretty much proven they can't pilot this ship. They had tens-of-thousands of years at the helm and it seems we're all on the Titanic. Either we've already hit the iceberg, or we're on a collision course.
Isn't it about time we throw in the towel? perhaps let somebody different have a try?
Who better to "clean up the mess" men have made? :3oops:
Change? You want change?
Put the ladies in charge.
On every level of government. From the POTUS right down to the mail room janitor and every place in between.
Fill every office, every cabinet position, and every seat in congress with females.
Could they really do a worse job then the men have done?
Damn Necro thread.
I know I will be called a women hater for this, but most women are collectivists and we already have enough of them around with mostly men in charge. If it was mostly women then that problem would only be worse.
Maggie Thatcher was in power for 12 years..she did nothing for women..but she broke the unions...
I think we have gone through a period when too many children and people have been given to understand "I have a problem, it is the Government's job to cope with it!" or "I have a problem, I will go and get a grant to cope with it!" "I am homeless, the Government must house me!" and so they are casting their problems on society and who is society? There is no such thing! There are individual men and women and there are families and no government can do anything except through people and people look to themselves first. It is our duty to look after ourselves and then also to help look after our neighbour and life is a reciprocal business and people have got the entitlements too much in mind without the obligations.
I never paid much mind to Margaret Thatcher and my knowledge of her is admittedly lackluster, but I love this quote..
Bravo! Well said is all I can say really.
I don't think we should "let" anybody do anything. If you want to lead then you should earn it. Women are capable, they just don't participate at the same level as men, and that's our own fault. We don't need to see some sort of gender-based AA program for leadership roles just to balance the scales.
