At the vanguard of a new era in gender relations, a community which suffered a humiliating collapse during the global economic meltdown "has turned over key levers of finance to women", The Washington Post reports. http://2mf.net/news169.htm

Iceland now has a female Prime Minister, and women lead two of its major banks.

"As the global financial downturn deepens, the first rumblings of a gender revolution are underway in an industry long controlled by men."

The equitable outcome is corporate management based on agreement between women's and men's committees regulated by governance comprising agreement between women's and men's legislatures.

Ah, of course they will. There is no doubt that the shopping
gene is deeply inbedded in the psyche of many females.

One even told me that she loved her Mastercard, as she could
withdraw money to pay off her Visacard :)

That is why I have such confidence in owning bank shares.

Ahhh.... a stilletto heel led recovery....

Yep... soon we see "MasterCard" joined with "Mistress Card"...

anyway what is so new about a lady primee minister... UK had the benefit of Margaret Thatcher 30 years ago... but Blair and Brown have still managed to undo most of her good works

whistler, you're back on your hobby-horse, aren't you?

>>corporate management based on agreement between women's and men's committees regulated by governance comprising agreement between women's and men's legislatures.<<

sounds remarkably like...

>>a Republic comprising women's and men's legislatures presided over by elders accompanied by courts of women's and men's jurisdiction.<<

and like...

>>one law, enacted by agreement between women's and men's legislatures, interpreted in women's and men's jurisdictions, presided over by elders, furnishes the certainty from which capitalism can be regulated, sustainably.<<

It would be useful at this point if you could be a little bit clearer about how this will work. At the moment it is all rather puzzling.

women and men have different life experiences, the judgement of one on the other is guesswork, thus the vagary, hitherto, of capitalism.

my guess is that equity is essential to the provision of certainty.

*my guess is that equity is essential to the provision of certainty.*

Ah, that is your problem then Whistler. The most permanent thing
in life is change, so forget certainty. Equity won't happen, as
there is so much genetic variation within genders, let alone between
genders.

Best you just paddle your own canoe as best you can and make the
most of what you have. Meantime, enjoy every day!
