A woman's place is in the house.
The White House.

WOMEN WILL BETTER RUN IF THEY ALLOW FREE ORAL PLEASURES.

As much as I would like to say, women would make better leaders for Nepal, I have to say, no, women probably woudl do the same crap that men have done. Having internalized all the mysoginistic, classist, castist oppresive views and behaviours of our society, women would most likely the play out the usual game of cat and mouse, giving into corruption, greed, and nepotism. Look at the women who have come to the forefront in recent times!
It will take a true revolutionary... and I am not talkign abotu Hisila Yami either.
But as long as there are folks like Mr Agrawal above, why, I am all for women playing by the same leadership rules that our men folk seem to play by - ruthlessness! And if it simply means a woman ruler/leader would kick his ass and send him to kalapani where he obviously belongs, hey who cares about democracy and freedom!

I am with you anepalikt on this. What is wrong do you think with this Character by the way? Do you think he/she is funny? Pathetic maybe, right? How old do you think he is? What does he look like? where does he come from?

Well, looking at which countries in the world have or have had female heads of government, it is interesting to see the heavy concentration in South Asia:
Pakistan, India, Sri Lanka (two), Bangladesh (two).
But, as in the Philippines in the case of Aquino, in Indonesia with Megawati, and (almost) in Burma (if the election results in 1990? declaring Aun San Su Kyas winner were not annulled by the army), many of the elected women were closely related men who were previously in power.
Where has that NOT been the case?
Nicaragua a few years ago? New Zealand? UK (Thacher)? Philippines now?
What conditions allowed women to rise to power in those countries?
Does anyone know whether Bandaranaike (in Sri Lanka, first woman PM in the world) had any family ties to politics?
----
As for the second question: will women make better leaders... the question is better than which men? The women leaders from other countries seem to span quite a range in terms of doing a good job or not...
