Heather The strange thing is of course that leadership is not bounded by rationality alone, neither is Quality and here is where the duality and the more than the sum of two hemispheres reside.
Indeed in the course of western history, women have been designated the weaker, second sex, based perhaps on a biological and then social functionality. In this event, subjugation as Eve and in period of witchful madness as Lila that they cannot control and comprehend. But really aren't women, biological and social roles aside, the intellectual equals of men ? Or given equal access to opportunities and resources, they do as well, if not better ? And when over and above that rationality, intuitive female side and the structured male side act in unison, we see Quality manifest, albeit alreeady latent in each, waiting to be inspired and stirred. At every level, Quality is inherent: physical, biological, social and intellectual. Only the parts need to come together. Nothing of that sort happens when delinked parts imagine themselves isolated and reject or subdue the other.
