*national world leaders day*
lots of kudos to nominated MP Claire Chiang for reminding me that the power & beauty of a woman lies in her femininity. sometimes, it seems that gurls today are so keen to take on the guys; so keen to prove our long unrecognised worth and abilities that we forget who we are. Francis Fukuyama talks about how guys and gurls are wired differently. why so? i don't know for sure... but i think it's to balance out that constant bravado talk of war, machines, politics NS(!)... they do start to grate on your nerves after awhile. he reminds us that as women we can roar to our own tune of peace, equality, domesticity... since when did we have to prove our worth on men's terms? i believe that we were wired differently for a reason: so that we could a bring a breath of fresh air n a necessary alternative perspective in positions of power.
for all e gurls out there who dream of your future role as an MP, engineer, astronaut, president:: i salute ur courage to dream:: i hope that we will all stay true to the original hearbeat of femininity!
apparently gurls, today's choc daY! *blissful smile* :: a man was fortunate enough to stumble upon an ancient lamp with a very obliging genie one day. the man argued that he was entitled to at least one wish since he was the one that freed the genie from the lamp. 'very well', the genie said. so the man demanded that he be made to be irresistable to women the world over. 'your wish is my command': all that remained was a bar of chocolate (bet it was Godiva!)::

Hmmm, as far as i've seen most women in positions of power tend to be the most ruthless. Thatcher as one example. Thats just an observation... Mean no offense. I believe that we're all individuals but equals regardless of gender, race, etc. Maybe thats just me... Don't see things as girls against boys... Just person against person. But agreed, women make up for gaps that men have, but likewise, men make up for gaps that women have. Put both together and it should create peace... Too often though, pride gets in the way on both parts.

well, i think it's the fact tt we're wired so differently which causes e friction tt we (guys & gals) have. differences can be a two-edged thing: variety or conflict. at e end of e day, it takes lots of maturity and commitment/passion for a leadership of either a guy or gal to succeed. the latter, i think thatcher and cleopatra had in abundance. =)
