There was a question about women and why we pay more attention to them in an accident or at war as they are always mentioned in news reports.I checked who runs things (High Tower Lowdown)
In the USA 23% of Senate and 19%of the House are women.
There are only 6 women governors.
Of the 7383 state legislators only 25% are women.
Of the 2400 elected prosecutors 79% are men and 95% are white with 1% women of color.
White males equal 31% of the population but comprise 79% of 42000 elected positions in the USA
In the Fortune 500 companies women hold 5% of CEO positions.This is a reduction of 25% from the prior year.
75% of all board members are white males.
It would seem that women get mentioned in news reports only by accident because they make up such a little space in politics and commerce.
The attention of human beings (both genders) is more quickly drawn to women. Magazines have known for years that the counter sales of their magazines go up substantially when women, as opposed to men, are featured on the cover (even wearing non provocative clothing). I have theories but don't really know why.
