The discomfort towards having women in positions of power goes back to the bronze-age morality of the bible. It’s the same reason the traditional churches don’t allow women to head the church or preach: they believe woman let the devil tempt and deceive them, and then they went and “caused man to sin”. Then Paul came along and made sure women were put in their place in the New Testament.
You’re so right!! Remember in the early 80’s when they deregulated the Savings and Loan Banks, expanding their authority to make loans and reducing regulatory oversight? What a great idea, that was. Getting rid of those unnecessary regulations really stimulated greedy white collar and political criminals, they stole everything they could until the whole system crashed, and that deregulation ended up costing taxpayers a 160 to 175 billion bailout in today’s dollars.
What a deal, right? What a boon to the economy, what a next level brain you’re working with. You know, every time we hear someone cry about the need to deregulate, it’s either a pirateer looking to steal more money from the taxpayers, or a useful idiot who drank their kool-aid.
