I'm Buz Burgundy?
As I said before, men are more adapted to the leadership role and this has been the case for nearly six milleniums of human history.
But you're referencing a time when women weren't allowed to be in leadership roles. How do you or anyone else know how well they would have done had they been given a chance?
What you need to determine is if women have done a fair or equal job as leaders in today's world, since today's world is the only time in history when women have held these roles. So, have they done a good job? That's the question.
Old people always say things were better before; you're saying it now, your parents said it, and their parent said it too. It's a broken record everytime an old guy speaks about how things were in the past.
And to your points about the youth of today:
I think kids are just way smarter than most adults these days. I mean that honestly. I see it in my kids and in their friends. The reason why they don't listen to adults? Because I think they've realized it too.
Adults are stupid, age does NOTHING for intelligence. The only people claiming adults are intelligent are (not surprisingly) adults! Adults tell kids adults are smarter - it's bias. Kids have realized this, as I did when I was growing up. And really, all they have to do is turn on the TV, especially any news source, and see just how moronic and stupid adults are. They also notice adults ruin everything.
It's simple, kids are being raise by hypocrits who know just about as much as them but claim superiority. And they are become very aware of these facts.
I run, during the summer, a comedy camp for kids (12-16 years old). I also teach a comedy class for adults periodically throughout the year. Every single class, without fail, of kids "gets" what is being taught to them far better than any adult in these classes. Every time. It's never the other way around. They listen better, apply was is being taught better and complain far less then adults. It's amazing to watch.
So I'll say it again, youth is smart, we become stupid as soon as we hit adulthood and feel we're just smart because of it.
{ABE} I did want to add this: the only thing women aren't equal to men in is in the field of humor. Sadly, women, for the most part, still aren't funny. And I dare anyone to challenge this.
It's anchorMAN, not anchorLADY. And that is a scientific fact!
