In the U.S.A., in politics, and almost anything else, education, quality, and experience, are detrimental.

For example Hilary was running for US presidents and was well prepared and looked like she was going to Win. She stepped up with all the big boys and battled it out with them. It doesn't matter if she lost or anything, it just goes to show that women are becoming more and more powerful today. Pretty soon women are going to be running this world and men are just going to be sitting at home smoking Cuba's finest cigars. Hell they deserve a good break since men have been running this world since we call all remember. It just makes sense for them to sit back and relax with a Cohiban Cigar rolled to prefection.

It's the Wife, not the Club concept that's the problem. In many developing eastern nations, Wives' Clubs are often the most politically accepted and 'politically-correct' avenues to managing, dodging, surviving deep corruption in government circles. Wives' Clubs are also a physically safe way (meaning you 'might' not get murdered) to increase power of political families or maintain a basic level of influence and protection for entire family bloodlines. This isn't history; this stuff goes on today. Do not knock Wives' Clubs. I thank my late aunt or else I would've never known my uncle. He survived more than a couple assassination attempts as a govt official. It took my aunt to convince a wife to convince her husband to convince the opposition to convince the assassin to lay down arms.

At first, it appeared that you were calling woman to arms to not be paraded around...then, oh but a few sentences later, recognized that there is a game to be played. No doubt that we face our own set of challenges, but the most successful (and admirable) women define themselves not by their gender but by their sense of self...whether that be supporting their spouse, wearing a skirt in a room full of pants, or climbing their way to top in the same way everyone else does. I'll have to ponder this a little and make it my next post on my blog www.LeadershipSoup.com.
