On The Cusp Of the Age Of Women?

If, as The New Agenda co-founder Amy Siskind suggests: “A fraternity of leadership has led our country into an economic crisis of epic proportions, ” will women be the ones to bail us out and put our financial house back in order?  As The New Agenda further points out:

The Times:  In an article titled Age of Testosterone comes to end in Iceland:

“Iceland, ravaged throughout history by volcanic eruptions and natural catastrophes, is struggling with a man-made disaster so overwhelming that the women are taking over. It is, they say here, the end of the Age of Testosterone.”

Next week a newly minted left-leaning Government led by Johanna Sigurdardottir will start to tackle the tough agenda of cleaning out the old-school-chum networks that have led Iceland to the verge of bankruptcy.
Half of her Cabinet will be women.”

New York Times op-ed: In an piece titled Mistresses of the Universe, Nicholas Kristof posits:

“At the recent World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, some of the most interesting discussions revolved around whether we would be in the same mess today if Lehman Brothers had been Lehman Sisters.

What do you think?

Have the guys displayed a little too much testosterone and too little….. what shall we say…brains? balance? reserve?  How about common sense?  I would hazard a guess most women wouldn’t take $1 and bet $30 on it, like most U.S. banks have done, and which got us into this mess to begin with.  Unless they’re addicts.

Oh, I forgot.  You can get addicted to power and greed.  But women, for the most part, aren’t.  So it makes sense to give them a shot at cleaning up this mess the power players have made.
