The number of "Females" V/S the lack of "Female Leaders" in FPM

[LebReporter]

Well to be honest i never saw a lady talking politics on tv or leading in political party except that Marada lady and one very very educated Lebanese in France communist lady Nahla Chahal and one in jordan non Lebanese.

Sadly i dont remember exact names.

i don't know the why, but i simply would love to see not one, but many leading fpm female figures.

as some already said, the all male cast has something to do with those who fought the syrians during the military war and it has to do with the paused internal elections.

while true this is an eastern society and also looks kinda make things difficult, but seeing the high nb of female fpmers i think it is unavoidable to have some of them playing a more public part in fpm's leadership cadre in the future unless something totally wrong is happening here.

for me, i once stated some time b4 that i would love to see public female fpmers as leaders and mps etc.. and i still stand by it. although for now i can try to find an excuse as to why this isn't currently the case but i seriously don't know why ultimately.

and ya DA, i know Mila is über pretty, but when it comes to politics not all is looks, for a female politician develops a quick public problem not when she's a tad not ugly but when she's a tad b*tchy in her persona and that is something that male masses here and elsewhere tends to forgive in male leaders but abhor in female ones.

Golda Meir was loved and respected, Hilary Clinton was slightly considered a nagging pain in the..., Condi an even bigger PAIN.. Margaret Thatcher was ok, Germany’s Angela Merkel seem up to the task and then some, Yuliya Tymoshenko the PM of Ukraine that i last saw on tv in Russia some weeks ago looked regal (ok i admit i fell for the pretty trap here i know nothing about her hehe)

all woman have a parallel multitasking mind, when some of them use it solely for politics they can be more shrewd and efficient than men in general and very powerful stratagems. but it all boils down to how much ruthless they can get (which is mandatory for all men leaders) without them ending up looking like annoying snobby b*tches in the process in the eyes of the male masses. that’s the trick.

a pretty woman keeps the attention of males easily even if she is mentally retarded.

a smart efficient one has to do her best to keep their attention cuz they would be less forgiving to her than towards male leaders and pretty belly dancers.

I’m not here to fix society, that’s just an observation, but whoever can safely traverse this minefield and keep herself mindful of everything at stake can become a very popular and loved leader.

generally speaking and in the end, i can imagine a female president giving a bit of thought b4 launching a new war or a nuclear strike, but as for male presidents they can tend to disappoint their primordial instincts if they stopped their base reaction from launching new wars and nuking the hell out of their enemies hehe

i personally wouldn’t want to see an all female leadership, that would have its drawbacks (link changing the party flag into some pinkish variant), but i would personally love to see a mixed leadership. and judging by where the west is currently now, i think we still have a long road ahead of us here, but just looking at the nb of females in fpm makes me positive about this matter although for now i can’t account for their public absence.

That Vera Yammine is an outstanding and well spoken lady who deserves any credit send her way, irrespective of her political affiliation.

There is no way she could ever become a Marada leader, because the Yammine family are not ranked high enough in the Zgharta feudal hierarchy. I'm sure if she were a doueihi, a karam or maowad she would definately be up there.

I didn't know you are a woman, and i didn't know you are FPM, and this thread has nothing to do with FPM announcing any female candidates, and as far as i know, there is no news about any female FPMer becoming candidate and that's why i opened this thread (because all the names we are hearing about possible candidates are all men)

And one last thing, i don't think 1 or 2 female candidates is good enough for FPM

[vegojimbo]

I recently learned that one of FPM's main goals for the 2009 elections is establishing a female quota for parliament.

How could it raise such a slogan and not apply it on itself? Sounds hypocritical if you ask me.

Sorry X to have offended you.

No i'm no longer FPM and i am certainly not a woman.

I actually agree with you, and believe woman can provide a different perspective to arab politics that is is presently lacking.
Contrary to what you may think, I strongly believe you ' X ' would make a formidable candidate for the FPM . Some one who can think for himself, and not just a puppet who repeats after GMA

I am against nominating females just to have female candidates, my question is, "why the females in FPM are not becoming candidates?" not "Why FPM isn't nominating females?"
