Re: Socialism and Women's Leadership (was China Drafts Law to Boost Unions and End Labor Abuse)

Greetings Economists,
Yoshie I think the issue is not females at the head of state it's the
mass of females that is not represented.  Of the Socialist States one
has to look at the social structure in the party that ends up being
dominated by men.

I would propose this is an artifact of the social value of emotional
connection.  Manufacturing social connection outside the narrow limits
of family is very very rarified.  Certainly men do get together and
feel chummy, but the depth of emotional connection even when I suck
someone's cock is rather shallow.  I've got some great male friends but
they are great because they are loving friends.  I'm rather shallow in
how well I can go myself.

Doyle;
My point is that women for reproductive reasons do have to concentrate
of social connection work which in terms of the larger society is just
not there.  Men seem to tolerate the deprivation to some degree but act
like expendable social characters in the home.  This general
depravation in my view is a hidden political socialist agenda.  It's a
work process that produces a certain kind of social knowledge in which
most of it is cheap labor, not automated as yet.  Though face based
media are slowly stepping of the encroachment upon social or emotion
connection work.
