Ofcourse things between genderrelations are much more complex than a ´simple survey´ shows. However, the participation of women in education, higher education, graduates, work, high positions in companies and politics, can reflect a lot about society (not about personal happiness) and our perception of that society.

Studies have shown that a higher participation of women in high functions of a company, generally make the succesrate of that company higher, because the way men and women make decisions and behave in discussions, is different. Here they complement each other which gives a better outcome for the company. (I am sorry, I dont remember where I read this, it must have been a newspaper, so I cant give any references.).

Obtaining more females in higher positions, asks for better and broader education of females. A woman who is educated, has seen studentlife and has been ´pushed´ to think on an academic level, is in my opinion more confident and knows more about herself, what she wants and needs. I think this does result in personal happiness, also in marital spheres.

(I do not mean to say that this is a privilige for women who have the capacity of studying in higher education. I feel this way about all sorts of activities that bring women in social and public life. I used that example in combination with the successrate at a compnay).

 If you read and finished the book and have some interesting ideas about it, feel free to share Im writing my book report on it the coming month I havent finished it yet, I read more than half of it in jsut a couple of days but when I came back to the Netherlands I was preoccupied and havent started since. I did really enjoy this renewed style though!

 Definitely the judgement of someone who hasn´t listened to the song But tastes differ ey?

I love this song. Sezen Aksu goes rock (sort of ). The lyrics tell what one should do when faced with loneliness or seperation, and that you should understand that difficult things in life make your harder and appreciating life better.

 Actually my second paragraph was ´you´ as in general, not specifically you.

And I never said your were nationalist or blind, though I slightly think so

 My thought indeed! +1

 Ofcourse. There always is.

Apparantly you don´t watch any tv Anka. If so, you would have known that ´why Turkey´ is a very useless question in the light of all previous broadcasted documentaries on orphanages or other horrible situations in MANY other countries over the entire world.

There is nothing wrong with loving your country. But if you really love your country, you are open for any kind of critics, that will help you improve the place that you love so much, no matter where these critics come from. You would not feel that ´the world is againt only you´. That specific part of nationalism, blind devotion, feeling the whole world is trying to put you in bad daylight, feeling better than other places and being worried about your image, is, if you ask me, not love for your country. It is an ideology inspired indoctrinated and simplistic view of the world, that refuses to see that a country is a PART of the world, not the CENTRE of the world.

 There must be something wrong with it. Mine doesnt work either. We will take a look at the matter anytime soon, thank you for notifying us.
