This makes me very happy, especially since the president of my post-secondary institution doesn't believe women can be CEOs:
[www.edmontonjournal.com]

While some observers suggest the shift is no big deal, others say they are worried about what U of A president Indira Samarasekera calls a "demographic bomb" working its way through the system. The problem is no one seems entirely sure what to do about it.

"The presidents of the major universities are very concerned we are not attracting young men in the numbers we should," Samarasekera says.

"I got asked recently about special programs to get more women CEOs, and my response was let’s not worry about that because that will come in due course. The bigger worry is that we’ll wake up in 20 years and we will not have the benefit of enough male talent at the heads of companies and elsewhere." #indranooyi

I thought that women wanted to be viewed as aspiring actresses, married, sorority sisters, womens' studies majors, or any of the 24 types in the Amp app.... and I don't think executive was one of those types. #indranooyi

@Ipomoea: Look at it this way ... if you're an executive, then you're safe from one of those types hitting on you, since they don't have an Amp script to work with.

But if roughly 70% of what she's speaking about has to do with women's issues, doesn't that mean that 100% of what a man speaks about would be on the topic with the same talking points for the same length of discussion? Or does the gap not work that way....? #indranooyi

@andBegorrah: Eh?

I'm at work, so I can't watch the video, but I read this as 70% of the times she's brought in as a speaker, she's being asked to speak about being A Woman In Business, whereas a man would be asked to speak about...business.

She's pretty awesome. How on earth did a company run by this woman end up putting out that horrible iPhone app? #indranooyi

@theKP: Inquiring minds want to know. If they made an app for tips for young professional women, like how to ask for a raise, I'd totally buy some Pepsi. #indranooyi

@theKP: To be fair to her, she doesn't have time to micromanage iphone apps!

But I agree that that was a stupid thing for the company to have done. #indranooyi

It is nice to see a woman in power speaking on this issue and it's even better to have a corporation that encourages her to do so. #indranooyi

@CurtCole: Did you hear Coke lowers your sperm count? It also makes you grow a tail if you eat it with fast food. I read it on the Internets.

I just checked and the only legal job in the entire multinational company is in Egypt and requires fluency in Arabic. Damn it. #indranooyi
