its all near enough for affirmative action hires.

I love the smell of racism in the morning.

Even when you have women holding 50% or more of positions which make decisions, there are still lots of dumb, mindnumbingly bad decisions. It's about people, not gender.

Yes, it's about people, and it's also about gender, but it's mostly about institutions. On the gender aspect, more women getting into power is 'a definite trend' in history -- a good one. I'd argue that institutions/corporations/organizations that have more than 50% women heading them are so few as to be almost non-existent. But also, I'm not so worried about 'bad' decisions -- I'm worried about 'immoral' decisions. For my part, I've seen enough evidence that women are, generally speaking, more kind/fair/gentle/reasonable/forgiving/caring/careful/non-violent/etc. than men. So, I'd rather have them in charge. There are always going to be exceptions to every 'rule' - they don't disprove the rule.
