If Girls Ruled The World
First off I have to admit that I have the hots for this lady, Segolene Royal who is the Socialist cantidate for the French Presidency. She is my freakin moms age but she's beautiful. Reading a profile of her today in the Atlantic Monthly it dawned on me that by 2008 three of the most powerful countries in the world, France, Germany, and the United States could have women as their chief executives, has this ever happened before? Maybe we could trade Madame Royal for Hillary, I like her politics better, unlike Mrs. Clinton she has never supported the Iraq mess and she also admits to her mistakes. Women in the West are rising to positions of power and I think it has to be a good thing, but will female leadership really change the way things run in the Western democracies? Food for thought.

I definitely think it's a good thing. Generally speaking, women leaders seem more concerned about the social needs of their societies and a bit less gung-ho on providing blank checks for the military.

Did Margaret Thatcher make things better?
I don't believe you'll see an improvement from something as trivial as gender.
Good point 1138, one could argue that Lady Thatcher made the UK a worse place, just ask the Welsh miners.
