so you have one laudable female leader - wow, thanks for the vote of confidence, if you let women lead and rule a bit more, maybe you will see. But then prejudice is blinkered as they say.
if you don't like my analagy of QV, then give me another one, if you can.
But it still does not get around the fact that wars, famine and civil unrest are mostly caused by male leaders. I think that we could do with a break from all this 'male leadership' in the world right now
I agree!!! Genuine Feminine Leadership... A Woman leading as a "Real Woman"... by words and by deeds. And this is what the World needs... and surely "SHE' can pacify war and bring Peace to the Human Race.
Hate to say it by Mr. Olympics has a point about Queen Vic, etc. Not the best examples of female leadership. Problem with these women was that they felt they had to rule like men, esp. true of the Elizabeth I and Mary. Thatcher was similar. No need to attack him over it jjj75.
Surely we can find better examples of female leadership--women leading like women rather than like men. Sheikha Mozah is a great local example.
jjj75--Thank you for your post. Would you please stop with your libelous statements. And, you'll notice on the other thread to which you are referring that I post BEFORE you did. Resorting to name calling as you are doing is a clear sign you have already lost the argument.
When you write provocative things like "Queen Victoria was a much loved and revered monarch, the likes of which we will never see again" you should expect a response. She presided over an empire that claimed one-third of the world's population--mostly Asians--and treated non-whites very badly. Maybe in your world that makes her a hero, but in mine that makes her a racist oppressor.
At some point in your life you should try and accept that when people disagree with you it is not all about you. Maybe it's because what you said was wrong, offensive, or generally lacking in merit. Better to rethink your own argument, modify as necessary and move on. Insults are usually not persuasive.
don't make comparisons by ratio and proportion... rather let us do it by percentage wise. Now kindly educate me by how many percent of "Woman Leaders" have gone overboard just bcoz they could not wisely handle the fame and the power registering into their "soft and sweet brains"? Can you please mention me a name of a "balanced" Woman Leader... bcoz I can only see 2 ways that a Woman Leader can go. Its either going overboard or... underboard. (And it's written in our Country's history.)
Quite nomerci - I was trying to show that women can be good rulers and should not automatically disparaged because of their gender.
Also, why should women accept being ruled by men all the time - as women comprise 50% of the population, should there not be some sort of balance in terms of leaders?
2020, please tell me this, if I said black, would you say white, if I said sugar would you say salt.
I can save you the time in responding to my comments and just post the opposite once I have finished - would that help you - as you clearly need all the brain cells you can get and I would not want you to exert yourself unnecessarily?
Can I also request that you stop following posts that I comment on just so you can disagree with them yourself. It is slightly stalkerish
Your own people call Mary I "bloody Mary" for a reason. And Elizabeth was no better for all the Catholics she massacred.
"Queen Victoria was a much loved and revered monarch, the likes of which we will never see again." LOL. Maybe in your elitist, racist view. But to the majority of the .5 billion Asians she ruled over and their descendants, she was the head of the tyrannical, oppressive imperialist system. But then I guess in your view that if the few million whites in Britain liked her, that is all that really mattered.
You tak Elizabeth I in the context of the time - of course it looks terrible - don't forget, the past is a foreign country, they do things differently there. Actually there is not that much evidence that Elizabeth did burn heretics at the stake, she is famous for saying
'she would not make windows into mens souls' She may have had them hung for plotting to assassinate her but then, that is true now in most countries today.
EI took a country that was not a global power and was not that wealthy and turned it around.
Queen Victoria was a much loved and revered monarch, the likes of which we will never see again.
And our present Queen is a good example for us all of dedication to service. She is still preforming over 300 public engagements a year and she is in her late 80's, at a time when most of us want to put our feet up.
Highlander - you mean because men never go overboard - Sadam Hussein, Pol Pot, Hitler, Stalin and the current bunch of dictators we are enjoying (Kim Jon Il and his son - what lovely people). And don't start on the South American dictators, they are in another league.
Women cannot handle power and fame in their brains lightly... they seems to go overboard! Though they are most awarded for best supporting roles. They are best at it.... so I believe they should stick to what they are best for. What do you think Guys?
Sarah Palin was the most popular governor in history of USA's largest state.
The Catholics who were burned at the stake by your beloved Elizabeth were hardly fans of that monarch. The Protestants burned in mass as the stake by the Bloody Mary were hardly fans of her. Then let us ask all the half billion Asians who lived under the tyrannous rule of Victoria's Empire what they thought of her . . . racist imperialist oppressor.
I like Margaret Thatcher in some ways but she did take Britain to war twice in her reign and she is hardly beloved by the working classes of your country.
More assumptions, arrogance, and factless posting from JJJ75.
How many women leaders are there actually and have ever been? (sarah palin is not a leader). Also, if you look through British history all our most successful and well loved monarchs have been (drum role please) WOMEN!!!

Who knows you might be able to have your princess and live to tell the tale :)
Sheikha Mozah is a great example of a female leadership and what she is doing for education is outstanding :)
I have a non related question about her though....how can she get away with not covering fully in Qatar? ....Sometimes we can even see her hair.

really true!!!!

Agree with VG5. Good example of feminine leadership working to the benefit of many.
Hate to say it by Mr. Olympics has a point about Queen Vic, etc. Not the best examples of female leadership. Problem with these women was that they felt they had to rule like men, esp. true of the Elizabeth I and Mary. Thatcher was similar. No need to attack him over it jjj75.

Totally agree with you @jjj75
"Men are the best, the providers, the superior race..... hmmm suure....not.
"Its a man's world"....unfortunately this answer is still yes ..hummph!
I do love my man though :D

Makes no difference if women or men rule..it depends on the person, not the gender.

Well....looks like it.. :D
How do you figure jjj75? Women leaders do just a bad a job as men. Of course we could let your Sarah Palin be in charge! LOL.
why shouldn't men take a back seat/supporting role, see nothing wrong with that, may be the world would be a better place?
Glad to see things are changing ^^ woman power!
Doha knight and PS?
LOL. The ideal modern woman!
PS, Now that would be a great personal profile description in the matrimonial column under Classifieds..:)
