even though laws in my country have been amended to allow a balanced 50;50 gender representation in all key positions,including poltics, we still find that women prefer to vote men into key positions. It seems women are still their own oppressors and prefer men to lead and ocuppy these potions, despite the enabling laws that have been amended to accomodate women. We seem not to have enough confidence in our selves to lead others.

    There is stll a lot of gender based bias against women leaders.My opinion is that this bias has a lot of this bias against women has to do with cultures.Until women themselves fight to change laws which do not act favourably to them and enhance their own position in soicieties,women leaders in societies will always be few.

      It truly is astounding that people are still getting so much mileage from the myth that women are held back in corporate America. My firm it completely inundated with unqualified, inexperienced, women whose only qualification was being a woman. Corporations are only hurting themselves by not hiring the best candidates.

        yes, women have enough power in the workplace. over the last score of years the privelages have had their small moles sucked. what it has amounted to is many females not having rightful positions of authority. a lot of good ones got tired, fed up with incompetence and left. now, the female authorities deal in a different battle with social situations built in the work place by incompetent men who may have had a talent at one time and the people who suck his mole who have networked. its left the workplace an incoherent mess. if you need to discuss this matter if you are a man, you are in real trouble.
