Merwyn: Many people treat the idea that women cannot keep secrets as sexist. Let us say one had a daughter who grew up to be a CEO candidate in a major company and the Board said to her: we cannot make you CEO because we think you can't keep company secrets. Or she was denied the Prime Minister's job because she could not keep national security secrets? How would she feel? How would you feel if she was your daughter or grand-daughter or niece and that was the reason for denying her the job? Fortunately, many progressive companies and countries have kept faith with women and equality. Regards, George
