Chances are that your next CEO will be a she and your next congressman will be a congresswoman.
After thousands of years of oppression, women across the world are occupying key positions in all spheres of
society.
The ever-evolving human desire drives the development of men and women alike. Over the past 60
years, we have witnessed a conspicuous change in women's desire. Women wish to be less and less involved
in household management and child care, and are increasingly expanding their involvement in other areas of
society. At the same time, the world is pushing towards greater equality, and women assume roles and
responsibilities previously only filled by men. Technology also plays a significant role in helping free up
women’s time. Just as diapers and baby formula were a tremendous help for mothers, emerging robotics and
artificial intelligence solutions will reduce the burden of household management to a level we have never
seen.
As the world becomes more interdependent, it demands the intervention of women, as though it were
asking them to put their unique qualities into practice. A woman’s character is much more responsible, stable
and consistent. She is capable of absorbing many changes and coping with long-term challenges - a quality
that comes from her natural ability to carry an embryo and develop life within her. A man, on the other hand,
is better at short-term moves. A woman is capable of holding onto a large number of tasks as well as carry
them out successfully. A man, on the other hand, is more successful in linear processes aimed at a narrow
goal. This is why most scientific breakthroughs, for example, manifest through the male brain.
Men and women are also different in their attitude to failure in life. Figuratively speaking, a man can
be as strong as iron – and yet one blow can break him. The woman is easier to bend - but like a flexible tree
branch, she is much harder to break. The mutual completion of each other’s qualities is the key to building a
healthy society in the new era. The integration of women in the leadership of society and other systems of
human life is becoming necessary. The maternal qualities are expanding from the personal home to the global
home. The female nature and drive to create a supportive and embracing environment will be expressed in
society in creating healthy and proper conditions for bonding between people.
