An ode to women as rulers of this world

Errol Horwitz

It is no longer political correctness that has empowered women such as Theresa May (Britain), Angela Merkel (Germany), Hillary Clinton US) and Nicola Sturgeon (Scotland). Rather it is their womanly practicality and long-term strategic vision that engenders collaboration and inclusiveness to facilitating conflict resolution and peace making. 

These women are the standard bearers of a new matriarchy where capable and ambitious females are taking matters into their own hands.  They are uniquely qualified to do so because they listen and understand (the concept of) consensus in a dimensional context. 

A historic political power shift is in the making. Globalisation is immutably preparing women for political leadership positions. Male-dominated patriarchy must wake up to the fact that women are imbued with intellectual capacity and emotional fortitude to make the difficult decisions that leadership demands. 

The world needs new thinking and new strategies. Women get it and are up to the task. The old patriarchal order must get on board by teaming up with women as equals before it is too late for all.
