WHEN WOMEN RULE THE WORLD

I read two articles dealing with the leadership abilities of women. The first being Should Women Rule? by Sandra Tsing Loh and Men or Women: Who's the Better Leader? Both articles deal with an interesting topic, women leaders. Both articles make different arguments in favor of women leaders. The Men or Women article was based on a research study. According to the poll results, women are much more likely to have the qualities of a good leader (such as honesty or intelligence). Even though these were the qualities the majority were looking for in a leader, only 6% of those polled agreed women would make better leaders. About 20% seemed to think men would make better leaders despite their lack of good leadership qualities. The majority seemed to think that women and men made equally good leaders. The public polled for this study mostly agreed that women were more likely than men to have the qualities they looked for in a leader. So why do we think that women do not make good leaders? Myers' book Why Women Should Rule the World seems to think so. It goes as far as to say that with women in charge, "Politics would be more collegial. Businesses would be more productive. And communities would be healthier." It interesting to think that the glass ceiling separating women from the top is a cultural thing in the United States. This country is all about the freedom. People came here to seek freedom from oppression. It's weird to think that here in  America we have a problem with women leaders. After all, other countries have had women in power for years. So what's holding us down? I have absolutely no idea. The television channel FOX may just change that when they introduce their new reality series When Women Rule the World featuring eight women and ten men with only one rule(women rule). Men who don't obey get "sacrificed." And no, this is not some sarcastic joke I'm using to end this paragraph.
