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



Yoshie,

I am as certain as you that this is NOT "a random occurrence."

Your response conflates "parties and states," though I wrote, "I'm concerned
about leadership in the movement," that is "parties."

My comment had to do with what is achieved if women become "the bloody,
stupid worthless figurehead for the sexless monstrous Moloch of THEIR
institutions and THEIR Holy State."  If I am correct in suggesting that this
latter doesn't really matter in terms of substantive functions and policies,
doesn't it offer a reasonable tentative explanation of why
conservative/liberal elites may be more willing to use females as
figureheads?
