you're over 50 ever been married to a woman? do you like women? was your mother a woman? do you have kids? none of that's in your profile. arkansas has a great female governor.

It’s easy for them when you can lop off heads indiscriminately or have a navy with an aircraft carrier

Politically:

Golda Meir (Israel)

Margaret Thatcher (UK)

Business:

Safra Catz (Oracle) (Another Israeli, as well) - now this was a handoff from Ellison, but she's done very well

If you want someone who built something from scratch, Madam C.J. Walker.

Reading this thread, and others on this board, it's a complete mystery re: why so many red states turned blue.

Because you need a logic based woman and the majority are emotion based. For example: When discussing food stamps and what is necessary you always see that woman that says "what about a kid needing a birthday cake". Neverminded you can buy almost everything you need to bake a cake, use subsidized internet, and do it yourself all while having staple items left over for other meals.

There are a few exceptional ones from time to time.

Like Phyllis Schlafley and Ayn Rand.

The world is old and populous so there may be an exception here or there.

But I suspect even in cases where women "led successfully" it was within a framework engineered by men and they could ride the momentum wave.

Take space. The Apollo Program is one of the most amazing engineering accomplishment of mankind (pun intended). It was predominantly American, white, and male. So if a woman "leads" a successful mission, the credit still belongs to the men.

No - Over the years I've unfortunately had a few female managers, everyone of them sat around all day dreaming up some nonsense procedures that never made anything better.

But they could run around telling everyone how smart they were .


Similarly, my experience with women placed in mgmt roles is they come in two flavors: 1) the Mothers - who want to play mom to everyone and 2) those who want to be domineering over men. They are drunk on feminism and feel compelled to show men how strong women can be.

Who gets credit for Margaret Hamiltion's success at NASA?

Who developed software engineering and coded the moon landing before she did?
