Anyway, they pulled lots. Each lot represented a man, therefore, each man could be leader. I think throwing names into a hat is brilliant it would be better probably than what we have now.What is up with men thinking they are born to lead, that because they are male the are natural leaders. And what is up with women who believe this as well? Madness. The brainwashing is amazing!<BR/><BR/> I am in the midst of learning more about running for office. I am looking into it to see if it is something I want to really do. I think everyone should consider running and if so inclined, run. <BR/><BR/>Have you read any of Susan Faludi's work? She wrote Backlash and Stiffed. She touches on the matter of genderism in these books.
