If women ruled the world
18 Answers
OK, this isn't a feminist rant and I don't want you men to get all haughty, but do you think that the world would be in the state it is now if women were the ones making the decisions? I mean, do you think we would approach things like conflict with more compassion? PLEASE no rants about Thatcher, we all know she wasn't really a human being...

There are some women I have had as bosses who have been utterly impossible- bitchy, rude, unprofessional, overly emotional.. Mainly menopausal thinking about it. I can't remember these women being compassionate. Not that I think men ARE, but surely it is down to the individual person?

I agree that women in power often develop a hard nose and an unpenetrable armour, (if we must, then Thatcher is the perfect example).
Hmm, I can see your point Scarlett, but some male bosses can be incredibly patronising/belittling sometimes! Fortunately all of my bosses have been female and they've been incredibly approachable and supportive. I guess we've proven that there's good and bad in both...
And ha-ha at the PMT jokes, I'd kinda braced myself for that :oD

Not quite true, whiffey - Mrs T was indeed reviled in her day, but clearly she still appealed to a lot of people. The anti-Thatcherites were very vocal and often had public platforms in the shape of TV shows, comedy routines, so anti-Thatcher invective was rife, though it obviously had little effect at polling stations.
I have a theory that when the British have a strong-willed dictatorial leader we always moan about it - "He thinks he's President" "She's further right than Genghis Khan" etc - but secretly we like it. How else could Blair and Thatcher have won multiple terms? When you get a "nice bloke" like Major, we joke about him being the Grey Man and sling him out after one term.
I agree with Bill Clinton whe he said "People would rather have a leader who is strong and wrong than weak and right."
