Norway’s New Quota: Corporate Board 40% Women Or Else!

If graduation rates are any indication many males are giving up on leadership roles. Schools are apparently miserable places for them.

so? your blaming women for men giving up on leadership ?

I don't know what you guys do over there but here teachers are given instruction on how to teach boys. Just boys, for boys.

I'm saying you're getting your wish.

Well get on a plane and travel around the world and go tell all those women how they are getting their 'wish' . They'll be greatful to here it. Don't you think calling it a 'wish' is a bit pedantic?

Woman Earns Silver Star in Afghan War.

Quote:

CAMP SALERNO, Afghanistan (AP) -- A 19-year-old medic from Texas will become the first woman in Afghanistan and only the second female soldier since World War II to receive the Silver Star, the nation's third-highest medal for valor.

Army Spc. Monica Lin Brown saved the lives of fellow soldiers after a roadside bomb tore through a convoy of Humvees in the eastern Paktia province in April 2007, the military said.

After the explosion, which wounded five soldiers in her unit, Brown ran through insurgent gunfire and used her body to shield wounded comrades as mortars fell less than 100 yards away, the military said.
