P.S. to Why do Spanish Women Look So Miserable

I realize upon re-reading this that I did not write it very articulately, or respectfully - I meant to say that I hope the nasty looking woman posted by Miki was enraged about womens’ issues such as the photo I sent of the battered woman…

Why do Spanish women look so miserable?

I hope this is why that woman in the photo looks so miserable!!!! Psych

A Man is a Woman is a Man…

 By Miki

I have lived all my life in an almost strictly man´s world. I was the youngest sister of 2 brothers, and as child I lived between two houses full of boys, no girls. Consequently I only played with boys and I was even given special dispensation to attend a boys school because I couldn´t stand to be surrounded by girls!

As an adult my studies of mathematics and physics, and later my work, immersed me in a world totally dominated by men. Even the sports I loved were at that time practised almost exclusively by men, and all my friends were men.

Today I think I can say that I have a very deep understanding of the male nature, and I must say that how men really are is very different from how one currently says they are. And sometimes I even have the feeling that what one generally calls the feminine side corresponds much more to the masculine side, and vice versa.

Let us speak about the so called softness and irrationality of women. Those who have experienced women in business, especially in leading positions, will know what I mean. As soon as they have enough power, they are much harder and much more rational than men in the same leading positions. And not because, like many people think, they have to work twice so hard to prove themselves. It simply corresponds to their true nature.

I find it logical. It is only the extension of leading a family. It is, or it was, the woman who held everything and everybody together in the family and in their social environment. The unassailable position of the Matriarch. To do that you have to be hard and rational, if not it leads to chaos. To lead a company is nothing different, it is just the same on a bigger scale. I have lead an industrial company myself, and I had a lot of interaction with male leaders, and I can tell you: they were all much less rational, softer and in fact weaker than me. When I mean weaker, I refer to a very special point: men are much more susceptible to influence, much more responsive to things like blackmail and seduction, which makes them less responsible towards their company (and well, their families…).

To be honest: I wouldn´t want my boss to be a woman, nor my country run by a woman. Women scare me. I am a woman myself, and as such, I know what we are capable of… as simple as that!

But please, Ladies from Cafe Crem, don´t run away, for the first time in my life I am here part of a community of mixed members, and this is surely the healthiest mix! I believe that deep, totally honest communication between the sexes would lead to a much better world. so let us start here!
