Women must reach the top

WOMEN the world over are pushing for equality in patriarchal societies. Notice the brave women actually demonstrating against Taliban strictures on women in Afghanistan. Yes, indeed, women now tell the world that anything men can do, they too can do — and better.

In capitalist countries where it is supposedly laissez faire on the question of business and money, rules are present so that unfairness, injustice and the propensity for scams has some pushback and sanctions for the general good. Despite that push for fairness, women are still far from being at the top of business entities in proportion to the demographics and in recognition of their skills.
