We are going to see changed attitude of society towards woman. Since we are done with the
issues of suffrage, social equality, sexual and reproductive rights, beauty pageants had so far been only smart market driven exercise to sell products. The society so far had been
comfortable with Neo-Marxist-psycho-analytically amalgamated version of eco-feminist
Woman who is proud of being tagged as Bitch ,a strong, angry, uncompromising woman
who is not interested in pleasing a man or a Slut who is fun-loving, rebel, proud of assets.
There is a time to change.
Now when we enter into new age of enlightenment,
the paradigm shift is needed.. So far women organizations were demanding rights
or whatever from male dominated institutions. Suppose the women are Head of all
the institutions and everywhere they are on the other side of the table questioning
hegemony of patriarchal rules. All constitutions, law, rules and regulations are rewritten
scraping any trace of bigotry against fair gender. In that case, suppose, rape would be redefined
and punished in a way that blood of any male would freeze even with the thought of
committing a rape like public castration. Indira Gandhi, Golda Meir,Suu Kyi, Benazir Bhutto,
Sirimavo Bhandarnaike all Eastern countries' leaders have done welI .Among the western countries it was Margarat Thatcher\who was the longest serving woman prime minister. Presently except Germany's head Angela Merkel no other major western country is led by a strong political woman leader. It would be
interesting to see the world's most powerful democracy USA may also go far a woman
candidate in 2016 Presidential race.Nearly a quarter-century after choosing between a
Bush and a Clinton at the polls, Americans could be presented with the same options in 2016,
according to the most recent betting odds. Post-midterm numbers indicate that Hillary Clinton is most likely to be the Democratic candidate for president, while Jeb Bush could take the Republican nomination eight years after his brother left office.Clinton - the former first lady,U.S. senator and secretary of state - - is currently the clear favorite to win the presidency
in 2016 and Jeb Bush, the former Florida governor, comes in second place with 8/1 odds.
Neither politician has officially announced a run, but if Bush were elected, he would take
office 28 years after his father and only eight years after his older brother bowed out.
But why hasn’t the United States elected a female president so far ? Why has US society been so resistant to female leadership when countries like India, Srilanka, Pakistan, Turkey, Ireland, Canada, France, and England have embraced women presidents and prime ministers? There has been something so uniquely misogynist about US political culture that it took almost 130 year to find out a serious female contender in the form of Hillary Clinton to run for the highest national office.
It is not that women in US never tried to join the race. Woman for President begins with Victoria Woodhull’s campaign for the president in 1872, Belva Bennett Lockwood (1884), Margaret Chase Smith (1974), Shirley St. Hill Chisholm (1972), Patricia Scott Schroeder (1987), Lenora Branch Fulani (1988), and Elizabeth Dole (2000) Carol Moseley Braun in 2004. Every time the media ignored or distorted female candidates’ personalities and positions. The perception by and large created that women do not belong in the political sphere and it may minimize the potential effects of women as role models. The flamboyant and counter cultural Victoria Woodhull, the candidate of the radical Equal Rights party in 1872, would not be acceptable to mainstream US voters A century later, in 1972, Shirley Chisholm, the first woman presidential candidate of a major party, was unacceptable to her own Democratic party, which was not yet ready to nominate an African American woman. Some of these candidates never officially announced their runs for president, while others ran on third-party tickets. Even today, a candidate of any gender who never officially announced his or her candidacy, or who ran on a third-party ticket, would be unlikely to get much media attention—even with strategic use of the Internet.
Hopefully Hillary Clinton is there to probably break the jinx.
