The New Era for women?

I have time today to chat with folks why women get invlove into leadership and are winning this time around.
Quite obvious the world now is sinking into women era which many has forseen already as the millennium of peace, love , rapid development and all other good things our man has deprived us, Why?
A poll has conducted on the following
aspects and woman beat man hands down!
i) Caring for their children and knowing their immediate needs -
ii) Kind and slow in reactions.
iii) More sincerer and reliable in handling issues like hungry, proper sharing and distributing items/gain, moderate in war/conflits matters-
iv) Corruption free
v) Household democracy -
All of this concludes that while men where out hunting for food, women are closer to the children to know their immediate needs..meaning that women know much of basis needs for the children which is the brain child of good democracy.  
Women taking over power, what does this mean to you?

I agree with you that women have made great strides in the last few decades, but let's not be carried overboard. No one is perfect, and no sex is truly better than others, although we may be better at certain things. We also have to remember that in many cultures still today women are completely repressed and disregarded. I do see your point though, and I hope that women continue to demand equal rights and power, because we are fifty percent of the population, and we need the voices of half of man kind to be heard loud and clear.

I consider myself a feminist. But I don't agree with women taking over. It is much better if, there is an equal distribution of power and responsibility between men and women.
While it is true, especially in my country, that women are diversed as they can be both mother and father to their children. A lot of single mothers can provide the basic needs (including guidance) to their children.

Yes, there are a few bright spots in the world for women to get more poltical power. Royale in France, Clinton in the USA. But these are very few cases.
A shocking trend in China and India is for parents to sex-select their children. This will soon create significant male majorities and female minorities in those countries. I suspect the men will fight over the few remaining women and women will be reduced to the status of slaves. Maybe the Indian tradition of requiring a woman to bring a dowry into marriage will be reversed! The men will have to pay the bride's family.

Although it sounds like a nice term to hear, in my opinion it is least likely that there is a new era for women, the changes of issues that happens around women is more of a very slow face in. however, women have always been the true backbone on any man,child,community and their unforeseen hands has helped to mould and nourish society and probably the earliest educator(even in an oppressed culture). has always been from the time of curie to the queen who saved england or suriyothai to kathijah.
A man once said , 'the rise and fall of men and his community is the potrayal the deeper influence of souls within,who is the women.'
(and dont miss the fact that the earliest leader in almost all history are men.) we are catching up slowly but nothing really beats the real deal that was made for a purpose.

In several traditions there are dowry involved and in an indian tradition although marriage ceremonies are held extensively elobrate, women,wifes hold a lower status, eventough in singapore we are really modern, we still have indian traditions where if the wife pass away, the single sister of the dead wife would hav to marry her sister's husband to still ensure a family circle. of course, do enlighten me deeper in this knowlegde and correct me if i am wrong.
In the tradition of the culture that i practise as a south east asian, the groom to be has to pay a dowry to the bride's family as a symbol that he is prepared to start a family and is willing and stable to hold responsibility over the terms and conditions given by the bride's family cos after all, the gal is going to be someone's wife and she is more of her husband's family takin up his last name then her own biological family.
The dowry esp money in the end does not go to the bride's family, however, it goes back to the the bride and her groom when it is needed and it depends on the mutual agreement of the newly wed if they would want to give to bride's family a portion of the sum .
