No Women at the Top in China

[Ray]

Factors that make up the overall score are these:

>>economic participation and opportunity
>>educational attainment
>>health and survival
>>political empowerment

I don't see how those three factors in bold are "irrelevant" to the discussion. Women need equal education and political empowerment and economic participation and opportunity to rival men in the economic, social and political spheres of a country. Women cant be "on" top without those three...

You're pulling out the "off topic" card because you're losing the debate. Are they just "irrelevant" because China is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay ahead of India on the list?

No one is losing the debate.

How is that >>economic participation and opportunity
>>educational attainment
>>health and survival
>>political empowerment
Indicative of women on the top rung?

How?

These are mere jottings of no relevance to the issue as to why there are no women on top?

Of course, they are on top in their individual capacity of making money and become millionaires!

Well ray would say health and survival is irrelevant"to the discussion, now wouldn't he? But regardless, that list means more in terms of "women on top" than having a female President would.

Health and survival are relevant. Going by statistics, Indian females are more likely to survive than Chinese females.

So you're saying that women can take a leading role within a country or even get rich and prosper on their own without equal education opportunities, without their health, without economic participation and opportunity, without political empowerment?

You're a lot of things ray, but stupid isn't one of them.

No.

Don't digress.

The issue continues to be, in case you have forgotten - Women on Top!

There is a different thread on Gender Equality and Opportunity. Go there with these type of postulation since it maybe appropriate there, while here it is merely an attempt to digress!

You are right that I am not stupid.

I will not rise to your bait since it is off topic here!
