Strib Editorial: Lacking in Evidence

One of today's editorials in the Minneapolis Star-Tribune (one of the worst rags ever to come down the MSM pike) asserts that, "women make significant strides in world leaders" and that, "'Women hold up half the sky.' Something approaching that percentage should also be reflected in global leadership."

Okay. Why? For what purpose should we have women make up around 50 percent of the global leaders? To make women feel better? To better represent women?

Also, the fact that the editorial writer never mentions one of the greatest female leaders of our time, Prime Minister Thatcher of Great Britian, suggests a lack of willingness to provide a certain kind of support to the editorial.

What? Conservative women? You might very well think that, I couldn't possibly comment.
