    It's like they say; power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely. So in my opinion you will end up with the same problems; if you had more females in power.

    When I worked for Catalina Ambulance Service, it was a woman-owned company, but she didn't insert herself into the company's day-to-day operations insofar as the staff and crew were concerned. She was around every day, and it's not like she wouldn't talk to people, but the directions came from the director rather than the owner. He was the only one whom she communicated with on business affairs.

    However, when I first started in EMS, approximately one-third of my students were female, but only a few of them could find work on an ambulance; most were shuttled into the office or dispatching. That began to change in the 1990s, and although it was still a male-dominated profession, there were some female supervisors before I left, and one entire ambulance company was staffed with women. I have never considered a female medic inferior to a male medic in any way. There were weaknesses, such as upper-body strength, but there were strengths as well, and even the weaknesses didn't apply to everyone.

    It wasn't uncommon for someone to point out that a female medic couldn't lift as well as a male medic, but I could always point to male medics who needed help lifting patients, too. When a male medic had trouble lifting a patient, the weakness wasn't assigned to the entire gender, and the strengths weren't generally acknowledged until it came time for a patient to give birth. Every male medic would pass that assignment off on their female partner without hesitation, and, in general, female patients preferred female medics.

    But this thread is about women being in charge. On that topic, apart from the established fact that women are unreasonable, I don't have a problem with that. I've never liked anyone being in charge, and have worked under plenty of men I considered not worth listening to.

    I'll give you an A for effort.
    Where we shine is the nursery, but we can do whatever needs done. Although we do have limits. Now the nursery has been turned over to institutions called " child care".
    When I worked on GM Auto assembly line back in 1973, my foreman said," women should be home in the kitchen and pregnant, which I answered, It was a man like you who got me here. He was the same foreman who's desk I kept my half pint hidden under, he never found it.Thursday the whole plant was tipsy on Thursday.
    I had to scroll back up top to find subject, back on track, women can get it done if they have to, but I think their is a limit. Not s feminist, they throw out the baby with the bathwater.

    "Complementary" is being destroyed. "Better than" and "Instead of" ain't gonna work, and require a whole bunch of denial and lies to pretend they have merit.

    This has been a bilateral message.

    Not sure I know what your saying but that's ok too, I may look up ,'bilateral though.
    All I'm saying is men and women are different in 2 important ways. Emotion and strength.
    This is what makes us complete package. Long as we both also have character and a heart. Women more so on the heart thing. A man couldn't get his job done if he was worried about too many things going on.

    We need more smart people with good old common sense. Just increasing the amount of females won't do the trick. Look at Kamala Harris, for example.

    Yes, I used to think a female president would cure our ills.

    I lost respect for Hillary when she sat there passively while Bill lied about Monica.

    I don't doubt that she chose to "stand by her man" because she had too much hubris and was enjoying the prestige of the White House. Hillary has always had lofty aspirations and she wouldn't let something as insignificant as a straying husband deter her.

    Being a good politician has nothing to do with gender. The problem is that too many people go into politics for personal reasons. They don't actually care about the country and its people.
