When the top dog in a company is a woman and not just 1 or 2 in a managerial position or put the board, then women will have arrived.  Sometimes women are put in leadership position as a "token", but not given the CEO position.  I agree...we've come a long way, but we still have a long way to go.

When the top dog in more than one company is a woman and not just 2 or 3 of the managers are women, then we will know that women have finally arrived.  Sometimes women are just put on the board or in some type of director/managerial position as a "token".

Man cannot truly be happy as long as women are held equal to a man. A woman is a woman and should not be doing man things.
All you need to do is look at the way the world is changing to see the mistakes you have made as a society. Not saying that woman should be wearing Burka, but they shouldn't be flying jets or running mens businesses either.
Women are made to have babies, that's why they have a womb, and care for families and others. How do you not get that? You can't screw with mother nature and get away with it.
A womans touch should be a Healing and caring touch and not a mans touch.
