Originally posted by SeitseThere is reason for optimism when we see women organizing themselves at neighbourhood, village and town level [where I live, for example] so they can take more control over - or at least exert more influence on - the things happening around them and that affect things that they are more inclined to prioritize, like health and education and human rights.
Why would it?

Originally posted by SeitseI am sure you're right and that it invariably does but I think the possibility of less corruption ~ any degree of 'less' ~ as opposed to the unassailable male dominated status quo might be worth a try.
I doubt it. In a few years all you'd get is a Josephine Blatter of sorts.
Power corrupts.
Originally posted by FMFNo, I think the problem is we need more blond headed men to run government, you know, like Hitler thought.
Would the inclusion of more women in positions of power and leadership perhaps lead to better decision making and less corruption in the management of our public domains?

Plenty of decent folk would not become corrupt if given power.
However those seeking power are invariably corrupt.
It's the old story: the worst people to run a country are politicians.
