Royal

What does Finland, Chile, Liberia, New Zealand , The Philippines and Lativa has in common? They are all a part of a little club that Denmark and France might soon join. The election in France yesterday were the socialist decided to get Royal in is just another prove that the women are wining all over the world. This all reminds me of the "Women's week" we had at the college.
Some religions, cultures, countries and people always like to portray themself as victims, instead of fighting for the change - or just move on and accept that the times are changing. I think that more and more women, especially in politics, has decided to fight the dogmas and move on. Instead of screaming about equality, they have fought their way to it, like every man would do if he wanted to be the President in France.
I am a bit tired of women in the Nordic region screaming about equal rights, when a lot of women in the third world don't even have half of the women in the Nordic region when it comes to rights. I think that the women in Denmark has made it very far, and now they have equal opportunities - which is a lot more important than equal rights.
A final note, tomorrow, the 19th of November, is the International Men's Day.

Talking about elections... Ortega won in Nicaragua, yet another leftist (or at least former revoluntinary leftist) in charge of a Latin American country. It is going to be interesting to see where Kirchner is going to be in the next years to come, Lula won just enough votes to stay in power. The man that Chavez supported in Peru didn't win and in Ecuador Noboa and Correa doesn't seems like people who wants to go "extreme" left like in Bolivia, Venezuela or Cuba. I don't think that Simon Bolivar's - and now Hugo Chavez's - dream of a "pan-americana" is going to be reality. I don't think that ALBA has much a change, in oposition to FTAA/ALCA . I hope and believe that the way Chile has been runing the last couple of years, together with a mix of Lula ideas would make the future for South America.
