Let the Chics Ring The Bell
on this given sunday pro bowlers basked in balmy hawaii while…
Politicos Larry Summers and Barney Frank made headway (or at least believed they did) calling all vibrators to create a buzz for their big O’ stimulus on the talkies…Formerly “fallen from grace” Whitney Houston made a “triumphant comeback” at a Clive Davis tribute bash… Calm, cool, 
collected Capt. Sully lit up the skies on 60… Bono, Stevie W., Cold Play, bad-boy Kid Rock and the tragic and talented Jennifer Hudson (and more) brought down the house at the 51st Grammys… And a sista stumbled upon soon-to-be triple platinum Op Ed piece that was garnering major play, as it made it to the top 5 of the NY Times.com most emailed chart…
This little ditty, “Mistresses of the Universe,” penned by clearly manhood-secure columnist Nicholas Kristof really rang this gal’s bell! Especially when he cited a British study that suggests, that we just might need to shake up Wall Street with a bit of diversity of the spectator pump persuasion. That’s right credentialed chicas. Spiff up those résumés or finish that ap to HBS, because it’s time to mop that Floor and rid it of some of its over bullish livestock…

fabu post & op ed!
amen sista – it’s time to change the hormonal balance on wall street — i weighed in a while back with “maybe it takes a chick to sweep wall street” — but the high-test boyz (from both parties & the media) put an end to that one pretty quickly
when will the world figure it out ????

i’m wondering when the u.s will figure it out…well i thinki the voters did when they gave hillary 18 mil votes…had hillary been in charge we would have figured a way out of this mess ..or a least one that works… i might be wrong, but every county in the western world has had a female head of state…i think it time the good ole boys club figure it out…it look like everyone else has
amen to that boogie – i guess u could say the u.s. is a collective chauvenist!

Could not agree more, but unfortunately rather the opposite happens…people loosing en masse jobs in London’s City, but it seems women are overproportionally hit…..
seems like Iceland leads the way with appointing a female, gay PM….whilst the world is excited abt the appointment, people in Iceland just find nothing special abt having a gay, female PM…it is just a non-event… well, wish we could say that in the US
Greetings from London

since the U.S. seems to be behind the times as far as not having a female head of state & the way women are treated that run for office ..does anyone think that maybe it’s a cultural thing that’s unique to the U.S?

Thank you so much for alerting us to this op-ed piece! I quit the Times months ago, so would not have seen it, otherwise. I commented on kristof’s “on the ground” page, to let him know he was appreciated.
I appreciate y’all, too.
So glad y’all are back!
rock ‘n roll cindy — ur one of our faves!!!

boogieman——to comment on your query about whether or not the u.s. treatment of women is a cultural thing, I would say definitely yes……..for example, we were 18th in the world to grant women the right to vote! we weren’t even second or third… and that was 70 years after the second industrial revolution! Is that pitiful or what???? Basically, we (the u.s. culture) suck and have done so since our inception.

& im trying my best to change that for you girls
