I have watched a documentary this week. It is about Mrs Thatcher.
Compared with Men, can women be great leaders?
The common view is women are inherently good. They are morally superior and don’t hurt people. I do not believe that. There have been women political leaders throughout history, like their male counterparts. Some were good leaders, others were not. People think women possess a special DNA that makes them ‘good people’, but good is related to personality, not gender.
What those famous women political leaders did. Mary I, known as Bloody Mary (16th century), burned thousands of religious dissenters at the stake and waged war in Ireland and France. Margaret Thatcher, known as the Iron Lady (20th century), launched the Falk land war, contributed to the cold war, build-up nuclear weapons in Europe and bombed Libya.
someone says” women in politics equal trouble”. I believe it. Although more and more developed countries are being hold by women leaders. For example, Park Geun-hye is the eleventh and current president of South korea and Angela Merkel was chancellor of Germany. I think it has related to the movement of women rights because women leaders could represent
the leavel of a country’s democracy development. however, those women political leaders are still anomalies in a man’s world. Most women often work more than man, yet are paid less; gender discrimination affects girls and women throughout their lifetime, and women and girls often suffer the most poverty, especially in the developing country. women who want to win in the man’s world need to be acting and thinking like men.
Men always think women have delicate looks and weak hearts or need to care. but what they do not know is that behind the delicate masks, these soft women could wield a sword and throw a punch better than the best-trained soldiers. In a long time, women were mentally and materially controlled by male oriented society. they know clearly what the weakness men have. While men do not. Empress Dowager CiXI, just as Emperor’s concubine when 16 and became the powerful woman in China because she knew how to grab the Emperor’s attention and how to use Emperior’s trust to achieve her own goles.
we can not say whether women could be great leaders or not. it is hard for women to get in the top than men, which means women have to suffer more difficult on the way to sucussed. we are not sure about it because all this things are behind in a soft appearence.
