SOUNDING BOARD is an outlet for opinions on good and crazy things going on at home (wherever I may be). All are welcome. You are not expected to bring anything except your common sense & sense of humor.
'If the automobile had followed the same development cycle as the computer, a Rolls-Royce would today cost $100, get one million miles to the gallon, and explode once a year, killing everyone inside.'

SOUNDING BOARD

This article is based on a 1992 article in the same source. It's amazing that the issue is valid today as it was 10 years ago.
This is related to some of my posts in my old SOUNDING BOARD. There are no straightforward answers. Some smart ass would say it's a matter of choice. Women chose to be where they want to be. Where? At home. Some of them especially in the developing world may get up to middle level positions. As the rank goes up, the number of women goes down. This inverse relationship is common all over the world. Why is that? Choice? I guess the more valid question is this: Is it an informed choice? Are they being constrained by other factors in making choices?
