Women seem to be doing a wonderful job for all those other countries.

Maybe American women who are married with kids prefer to actually see their children more than once a month and this is why national political jobs don't appeal to them.
that CBS posting said : " .... The march to equality comes in baby steps ... "
That is not the best logic, to say that because women don't make up 51% of the seats in Congress that we are therefore not equal.
If there was a city School Board of Education that was composed of 5 seats and just so happened that all 5 members on the Board were women, that wouldn't mean that male students in that city are automatically not equal.

I once mapped out her organization and chain of command. It's matrix management, and somewhat complex. But I did learn that she has 13 people above her. Two of them are men. She does not report to the men, and the men are very much in the middle, not running the show.
I showed her a diagram of this so-called "Boy's Club" -- 11 women, 2 men -- and she said "You don't get it ..."
Although most women I know say that women bosses are harder for women to work for and impress than men bosses.
Speaking of which, I found all the women bosses I ever worked for to be difficult, and I'm a guy. They always seemed to have deep insecurity issues.

so many points here to discuss. I'll try to pick just one.... male turnout. In talking to both R and D precinct workers in the Il 6-Roskam-Duckworth and 8-McSweeney-Bean districts, one consistent opinion expressed from men who always vote Republican and most of always vote, was that this time these men were going to stay home in protest to the corruption in Illinois Politics. They were going to punish the non-corrupt candidates for Congress and lesser offices for the corruption in both candidates for governor.
In contrast, corruption was the #1 issue for women voters in IL also. But their response was to be even more certain to vote ... and to vote Democrat ... because both parties were corrupt ... but they expected Democrats to be corrupt. They held Republicans to a higher standard. The corruption of the candidates for governor also cascaded down-ballot to Republican candidates who were not corrupt.
The coup-de-grace was Hastert doing such a poor job of (again) covering up for the mis-deeds of others. He has done that for other Illinois politicians and now he was doing it for Foley ... or at least that was the image that Hastert himself projected in his direct comments to the media.
Bush had a long scheduled fund raiser for Roskam and McSweeney. (Apparently) Hastert's people were able to push Roskam and McSweeney into the background while Hastert got all the camera time and was a total disaster on camera, especially in the eyes of women he was a disaster. If the Dems were to run a video clip of Hastert there would be protests of dirty and unfair tactics from Republicans.
BINGO! Oh why wasn't I born back in the days pre-feminism?
Before 1848? The laundry alone would have been a deal-killer for me.
Thank God I was alive while these two lead the world. I wish they'd come back.
Well, these women don't know what's good for them. (Sarcasm) They have to work hard and seldom see their kids so they can be in politics. Then their kids can see them sometimes on C-Span. Yep, that's what women need to apsire to.
Gees the way feminist logic works, any women who doesn't think that her professional career is the most important thing in her life is hopelessly retrograde, and needs to be re-educated.
Dotty sounds like she's enthusiastically in faver, however.

I find what you say is very true and I'm a woman.
There is such a phenomena called "estrogen overload" in an office environment. I hate it, and I do my best to avoid those situations, and focus on the work a hand, instead.
The liberal damnocrats will never get my vote, dead or alive. And only over my dead body will they have a chance.
OMG and don't forget about the petty vindictiveness. I've worked for both women and men and I have always preferred to work for a man. Men are more straight forward, don't bring emotions into their jobs, and they do not get into petty little spats about issues irrelevant to the workplace. I have worked (and currently do) for women who constantly belittled and berated me not because I was doing my job poorly or incorrectly, but because I weighed less and was younger than them.
I make video games for a living, and it is very much a male-dominated industry. Still, we do have one woman in management on my current team, and she's just fine to work for. She is, to be fair, a definite gamer girl, and plays along with (or even leads) the joking and teasing that's a regular part of office life here. But she does a good job, and is advancing well. I've had no problems when I've worked with her, and I'm not aware of any more than the usual number of issues.
So it's not like these problems with women apply to every woman in a management position.

In fairness, your female bosses were probably less likely to demand sex from you in return for career advancement...
