The last part of that quote is sexist. So I left it out. The guy is a genius. Thank God, all that crack did not fry his brain.
You are right Deepak.
Corruption, dehumanization and moral degradation (hope that is a word. if not, I just coined one) of politics transcends gender. I do not know much about Golda Myer of Margaret Thacher but Indira, Benzir, Rabdi, Hillary or Jayalalitha do not inspire any more respect than any male politicians of respective countries. What Indira did in emergency and the role she played in toppling state and central governments -including propping up the likes of Bhinderanwale - was unconscionable.
Women should be given more prominant roles than they have recieved in non-political Arena.
