So you think men are doing such a great job in politics and business, do you? Do you ever watch the news or read any newspapers? If so, you may have heard that there's a recession going on at the moment. Some of the factors that caused it were greed and excessive risk taking in the financial sector. Most of the top positions are filled by men and a lot of the actions they took were anything but rational. In fact, a very competitive and completely male-dominated environment tends to lead to a surge in testosterone and the type of behaviour that brought the economy down.
This is not to say that only women should be in charge because they tend to favour or more cautious, long-term and growth-oriented approach. No, we need a BALANCE. For a truly equal society the whole population should be represented in economic and political decision-making processes.
Guess what, I actually do read the news occasionally, and as such, I have deduced that you are an American. You say that there is a recession going on, and very true. However, I, though a caucasian American citizen, am living in Asia, so I also have a good idea of what is going on on this side of the world. And would you believe it, the economy is booming over here. Asia is growing richer by the day, politics and the government are growing more stable, and the people's lives are becoming better by the day. What is the difference? Wasn't America always in the lead? Isn't it the greatest and richest and most powerful? It is. But it is going downhill fast. So, without saying anything definite here, that could be offensive, let me point out that the U.S. has recently accepted more female politicians than ever, to the point where people are even vying for a female president. And then, we have China, where I am. A lot has happened in the past to get China off to a bad start, but guess what, there are no female politicians! The result? China is pulling ahead! The economy is booming! Men are more selfish, worldly-minded people, and tend to generate more strife. But you know, countries need to be run by hard-headed, determined, ambitious people. Not some sweet little maiden who pleads, "Please don't shoot me, I'll bake you some cookies!"
It is not the career and political world that needs balance. It is the FAMILY that needs balance. Every child needs a mother AND a father. What out country needs is sound, stable, happy marriages so we can raise secure, successful adults. Adults who know and understand how authority and respect work, because they have seen it in their own families. Women are wonderful creatures, and I am proud to be one. We have a very unique and special calling, and are capable of things that men are not. So why are we forfeiting our rights to raise children, and care for our husbands, in exchange for doing a half-ass job at being a man?
Is it normal for a girl to be an antifeminist?

So you think that if we had more female politicians and businesswomen all our problems would be fixed?
Go get some basic fundamentals of economics, lady.
