Greetings Economists, Yoshie I think the issue is not females at the head of state it's the mass of females that is not represented. Of the Socialist States one has to look at the social structure in the party that ends up being dominated by men.
I would propose this is an artifact of the social value of emotional connection. Manufacturing social connection outside the narrow limits of family is very very rarified. Certainly men do get together and feel chummy, but the depth of emotional connection even when I suck someone's cock is rather shallow. I've got some great male friends but they are great because they are loving friends. I'm rather shallow in how well I can go myself. On Oct 14, 2006, at 8:57 AM, Yoshie Furuhashi wrote:
I remain a partisan of socialism, but there is one thing that makes me doubt the excellence of socialism: virtual absence of women leaders in hitherto existing socialist states and movements.
Doyle; My point is that women for reproductive reasons do have to concentrate of social connection work which in terms of the larger society is just not there. Men seem to tolerate the deprivation to some degree but act like expendable social characters in the home. This general depravation in my view is a hidden political socialist agenda. It's a work process that produces a certain kind of social knowledge in which most of it is cheap labor, not automated as yet. Though face based media are slowly stepping of the encroachment upon social or emotion connection work. Doyle
