Re: Women- do you have any female role models?Why Lagarde ? because the IMF does such a brilliant job in running the global economy ? enforcing austerity and empowering the global war warmongering elite(Original post by such_a_lady)
I'm a big fan of Christine Lagarde and Valerie Trierweiler.

"7) The IMF's policies hurt women the most
SAPs make it much more difficult for women to meet their families' basic needs. When education costs rise due to user fees, girls are the first to be withdrawn from schools. User fees in public health facilities make it unaffordable to those who need it most. The shift to export agriculture also makes feeding one's family increasingly difficult. Women have also become more exploited in the private sector workforce as regulations are rolled back and sweatshops abound. The general lack of economic opportunity has meant an increase in prostitution and other black market jobs and indentured servitude"
The IMF number 1 policy is to force developing countries to cut welfare and cut tarrifs. The IMF is an enabler of a undemocratic one world government. Together with the trilateral commission it wants to establish a New World Order

Re: Women- do you have any female role models?I'm not a great fan of the IMF per se. I mean what she has achieved, and the power she holds as a mere woman. You are, of course, right in some of what you say.(Original post by James10000)

From your flag I can see why you might think that
However, I believe even in modern-day France it was a very gutsy, if reckless, action. I'm also impressed with how much she's achieved in her journalistic career, and you have to admit that she makes a refreshing change from the subservient if likeable partners such as the Duchess of Cambridge, the First Lady, Mrs Cameron and so on. I'm not saying that they're 1950s housewives, only that they're not very strong presences.

Re: Women- do you have any female role models?It is because women are inherently sexist. Women in general do not consider it to be a woman's role to be "right" wing and a robust leader. Women are supposed to be self satisfying useless do gooders that the Guardian write about in the culture section.(Original post by meenu89)

Re: Women- do you have any female role models?Evelyn Glennie? The deaf female drummer who was in the Olympics Opening Ceremony? I'd never heard of her before but she is awesome. And the Whip has an awesome female drummer as well.(Original post by emthedrummer)
There's not really any good girl drummers. Sheila E., maybe. People always think of that woman from the White Stripes.
Apart from that my female role models are probably:
My Mum
Aung San Suu Kyi
Condaleeza Rice
Ursula K. LeGuinn
Annie Lennox
Mary Wollestonecraft
Anne Applebaum
Anna Reid

Re: Women- do you have any female role models?Shouldnt matter too much, but come on, to be fair you can 'relate' better to someone your own sex... Just like you can relate to someone your own race, does your sport, comes from the same country etc...(Original post by concubine)
Why does gender matter when it comes to 'role models'? >_>
I don't really have any role models, but there are people that I respect and gender is just irrelevant in that regard.
That's all it is in my opinion... Relating yourself... Thinking your role model is you from the future... Your future self, what will happen to you if you act like them etc
