re:Are you suggesting that the trend should be consistent with the cabinet or US Senate percentage?

Somewhere bounded by the representation in other high profile government positions. I'm not suggesting the number "should" be anywhere - but I would make an educated guess it could be in the range of 10-20% today.

That is absolutely and totally ridiculous. I can not believe you posted that statement. We have one of the best educated female populations in the world and you want to restrict them to 10% of gov't representation. What is your second job......being an ayatollah? Are you going to be pushing for veils next?

Given that even today some large percentage of women decide to be housewives and mothers first the true number of qualified women could eventually be somewhere between 25-40% in total in the near future. I don't think it will ever get to the population percentages, even if more fathers decide to stay home.

You really are out of the loop. The percentage of women aged 16 or above participating in the civilian workforce is 60%; for men, its 70%. In fact, more women are getting college degrees than men.

I could understand your position if you were 70, uneducated and living in the backwoods of W. Virginia.
