Women in charge- A new world order?

Featured Replies

Now there are so many women running their respective country and major corporation.

 

Just to name a few (more prominent ones)

Angela Merkel in Germany

Janet Yellen runs the Federal Reserve

Aung Sung Suu Yii in Myanmar

Theresa May (PM designated) UK

**

Helen Clark (former PM of New Zealand) is eyeing the post of the next UN chief 

Hilary Clinton (former Secretary of State and had slept with an ex-President) is almost the hot favourite to win the US election

Except for Tim Cook who runs Apple, how many out of the closet gays are managing major corporations.  It seems there are more lesbians holding office and gay men.  

Why? Are gay men more prone to personal attacks?

 

Women make up 50% of the population, so a few of them might be expected to get top jobs.   Some have been very successful, such as Mrs Thatcher & Mrs Merkel has done very well  until some recent misjudgements.

 

The percentage of men who are gay is less clear.   The UK Office For National statistics reckoned it was 1.5% of men in 2013.

So out of the FTSE 100 companies, if allocation of the top jobs had not gender or sexuality bias, about 50 CEOs would be men, of which about 1 would be gay.  Whether he is openly gay is questionable.  How many are openly straight is another question.  

 

There have been openly gay leaders:

Also, in the past Lord Browne was Chief Executive of BP.  Not openly gay, but widely known, possibly due to his Canadian boyfriend.

 

As for Lesbians, I have no idea & no plans to research it any time soon.

Impossible for them to screw it up worse then the men!

true, no gender bias when it comes to screwing up things

Premier of powerfull Canadian province of Ontario is a lesbian

Yes, and She and Dalton McGuinty are the type of quality politicians Canada has, while we have.................

I think carly fiona of hp did a good job screwing the company

 

Thank God she is gone!  What a sad but hilarious figure, especially after Ted Cruz "nominated" her for VP,  and she fell down.
