In their op-ed, the Marvel superhero movie stars, who are now calling themselves “feminists,” insist that they want to use their “positions of privilege to support and learn from women leaders as they make history.”
Mark Ruffalo and Don Cheadle cite a study that purports to show that women leaders help organizations perform better during and after a crisis before lapsing into praise for the “noble savage.”
“Many indigenous cultures understand this,” the actors added. “They see Mother Earth as nurturing, creative and resilient. She grows from the bottom up and propagates diversity. She is vulnerable and courageous, responsive and relational, and driven to protect the ecosystem — the all — rather than the ego of a few. This is what we mean by feminine leadership.”
Citing other studies that push female leadership, the two segue to the Paris Accord climate agreement that few nations are fulfilling even as they tout it.
“We have the Paris Accord — the world’s first comprehensive climate agreement, with 195 nation signers — because of Christiana Figueres’ fearless feminine leadership as executive secretary of the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change. Rather than taking a traditional might-makes-right approach to negotiation, the executive secretary of the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change grew the Paris Agreement slowly and respectfully, engaging constituencies in every country.”
The two men then warn, “Don’t mistake this for a diatribe against men,” before saying that they are only pushing women-only leadership to bring “all hands on deck” to solve climate change. To do so, the pair urge groups and the government to invest more in women.
Look, I am for for lady leaders. However, what their cause if for and how they implement their decisions is what is concerning. If an SJW nagging mother-in-law who subscribes to environmental racism is leading an area, how effective their leadership would be is debatable.
zoo you mean the actors who know one even heard of and well in marks case the 3rd choice to play a character and in Don's case is a very minor player in the series. Yes we should absolutely take their word for it because without a doubt they must be the most qualified to know.
Stupid comment. There are plenty of corrupt greedy women who seek to serve the greed of the billionaire class the best they can, and there are wonderful pro-worker male leaders with integrity and compassion. What matters is who their big donors are and their track record fighting for workers and the lower classes. Not their gender.
Have they looked at the female dems? That blows their argument out of the water. Better they should say" Feminine leadership can be as equally bad as male leadership so vote for the person, not the sex. "
I thought the goal is all about equality. Wouldn't pushing for the best leadership without regard to gender/race/orientation/etc. be the default position of the equality minded person? What's in their pants should not enter the discussion if we are looking to not judge by gender.
