Mirabeau. I’m certifiable, no doubt about it. That’s because I’m female and I’ve lived a very long time under an androcracy. It’s more than enough to make you certifiable.

Btw, at school in Adelaide I was taught that the Goyder line was 10″ – that’s 250 mm.

Anne’s post made me wonder how Norway was going with its legislated demand that companies achieve a 40% female board membership by 2008.

When the legislation was introduced in 2003 the % of women on boards in Norway was 7.3; now it is 21.4%.

As Minister of Children and Equality Karita Bekkemellem said yesterday, “Do you believe that we would have achieved this by voluntarily measures?”

“Glacial progress could take on an entirely new meaning!”

Melanie�s above comment is at best tasteless, at worst utterly certifiable. She compares the degree of femocracy in Aust. with the no. 1 problem of our times: the slow burn on the planet. So just watch that 300mm Goyder rainfall line coming to a suburb near you, Melanie, assuming you are among the 64% of Aust. living in a capital city.

Note to Summers: whether Hilary or the curiously under-criticised Condoleeza (a black and a female, enough said) become President is thus immaterial

While it’s true that glaciers generally move forward, even if at a slow pace, most glaciers are now in retreat. Glacial progress could take on an entirely new meaning!
