Be careful of what you wish for

The Parliamentary system brought the world Hitler, lovely, and is used as well in modern day Italy, where there have been over 50 changes in government in the past 50 years.  Hardly what I would call a governmental model whose effectiveness is universal in being able to sustain a vision and leadership.  We'll keep our system, thank you very much, enjoy yours.

The MMP paliamentary system was devised in 1949 in Germany. Hitler commited suicide in 1945.

How then did it 'bring the world Hitler?' :lol:

It aint tokenism here, I have seen the move forward in my lifetime.  It is the real deal, but tell me, how many ladies are admirals in New Zealand?  How many lead squadrons?

More to the point, how many admirals would you expect to find, total. I found references to a single admiral. What is the likelihood of that person being female, statistically speaking?

And that about covers the rest of your rant too. You can spout numbers until you're blue in the face and you'd still be dealing with the reality that the American military is huge in numbers and therefore any small percentage adds up to quite a number of people, regardless of the criteria.

But then I wasn't talking about the military anyway was I? I was challenging your assertion that "women's role in American society, opportunities for self determination, and personal sovereignty are THE model for the rest of the modern world"

Which is clearly BS.
