The reason that women play second string positions is because most women couldn't care less about business or politics. I disagree totally with this statement and shall give My proof as such: First off woman do not play second string positions but simply play differing roles in how business and politics are applyed. The saying behind every good man is a even better woman would explain My approach. ""Brothers! Our ancestors considered it great offense to reject the counsels of their women, particularly of the Female Governesses. They were esteemed the mistresses of the soil." "" An international feast of creative and indominable women, famous and anonymous, ancient and modern. Leaders, founders, clan mothers, culture-makers, healers, holy women; builders, farmers, market women, musicians, doctors, witches, mystics, writers, educators, athletes, pirates, warriors, mavericks, rebels, activists, and liberators. female spheres of power as well as women who defied the strictures of patriarchy or matriarchy, class, and racial caste the woman has ruled on many levals without having the need to be physically in the position as ruler. ""I count the grains of sand on the beach and measure the sea. I understand the speech of the mute and hear the voiceless. I am woman. "" Positions of power need not be measured simply by the young american standard. Dominant roles neither be measured by simply gender but many other attributes which distinguish woman into places of power but that particular position might not be clearly seen because it does not come with a financial or political tag attached to it. Power and Gender many times is in direct context in western society with blood and bloodlines. Blood is often seen as a source of power for men (war and sancification) and as a source of weakness (or danger to men) in women (menstruation). On the other hand, women can also gain power through blood (for example, saints and martyrs). Blood, as a natural human component, is often exploited to define and separate certain "types" of humans from others. Throughout history, blood has been used as a boundary marker to include or exclude persons. Based on the differences in their blood, or the assumed differences in their blood, humans have been categorized into specific groupings; ones that are sometimes beneficial, and usually not. With genealogy and inheritance, blood is what matters. It can link people to positions of power and authority. It can also, however, damn a human being to poverty, sickness, and mediocrity however Dominance can still be equally shown across the blood lines in both genders. Women of noble birth, whether they ruled or not, were always an essential factor in creating the royal atmosphere. Power flowed through them because of their royal blood and because of their influence over the heirs they produced, but they themselves seldom possessed power. Today, at least in the United States, inheritance is given to whomever the holder wishes , if established in a written will before the holder dies. Property can be bought and sold by anyone. It was not always like this, however. Throughout Western History, inheritance and property laws, whether they were written or implied, existed to ensure that certain classes of people would inherit. The doctrine of marital unity not only mandated the wife's subservience to her husband. but it is also held the distinction of obliterating her legal identity.Therefore, when a woman married, her legal personality was merged into that of her husband, but this did not mean that the woman was any less Dominant.
