I don’t know. I really enjoy working with women in business. I love partnering with women in business. I appreciate women as employees in business. I depend deeply on women’s perspective and insight in business – so much so that I’m often teased about it. And I so don’t want to be deprived of the value that they can add to me, business, and the ‘society’ that is a business.
It’s true that I’m not keen on women as CEO’s in strategic industry, or on boards of directors, or as voters because simply because of the science and evidence – it’s kind of overwhelming at this point.
And I’m not keen on tolerance of women’s emotional sensitivity in the workplace whenever it interferes with truthful discourse. And I think that some women need ‘desensitivity’ training to participate in a workplace without being problematic in that truthful discourse. But then, we have ‘sensitivity’ training for men and have had it for years for the same reasons. Both sexes have trouble with personalizing when inappropriate.
But women in politics as a general rule whether as voters or politicians – despite the extraordinary exceptions all of whom have been conservative (Thatcher, Le Pen, Meloni etc) – has been a catastrophe for us just as it has been in every western government – even Merkel was a disaster despite her popularity.
Do I want to say this? No. Do I want to advocate it. No. Do I even want to know it? No I do not.
But it turns out that my job is to speak the truth before face regardless of cost so that we may solve the crises of the age, and hope that those in the future might now repeat them.
