The
resounding and on-going crisis has provoked the economic collapse of
quite a few countries. the BjorkTthe singer, had around 2009 created an
investment company to save her countrymen from falling into the black
hole. A rather brave and curious incentive, as the company was formatted
completely by women. At the same time two other ladies had been
appointed as heads of two principal banks in Ireland that were bankrupt
and needed to be nationalized.
The banking sector has never been the area inclined towards women given such high power, and the men especially feel put out to be under order of women bosses. Not just in Ireland, lady bankers are extremely rare in most parts of the world. I read that some financial analysts consider that the testosterone hormone predisposed to aggressive behaviour or taking risks had contributed to the financial craze, and that if there had been women on the helm (we women have 10 times less testosterone than men), the situation would have likely not reached such excess. It certainly has some logic in that. I suddenly saw the crisis like a stampede of young financiers cram-packed with hormones.
So perhaps this economic crack would end up feminising the world banks. To begin with, it's much easier to share debts than profits. Some time I back I was astonished to see a press photo of Ricky Martin presenting his new born twins (by surrogate mother for hire). It must be the first time a man, a pubic figure and an icon to thousands of fans, appearing in a typical photo showing off new babies, customary by a delicate and smiling mother, alone, or with Papa looking on as if saying 'How did that happen?
In Spain, 80% of new fathers are benefited by law with the 13 day paternity leave, and the number is increasing. More and more the men are mothers and we, the ladies, bankers? Fascinating.
