It appears that feminists have very nearly accomplished their goal of flipping the patriarchal world into a feminine enterprise. The number of women in charge of governments and corporations has increased dramatically in just a few short years. The list includes:

Several things are noteworthy about this trend. Most female government and political figures are members of the Euro-Colonial states. One reason for this is that generally there are more women than men in the world and in the pseudo-democratic states their votes are courted by male politicians that buy their votes with favorable legislation. Men and women have different priorities and interests, they favor different government policies. In the US, for instance, divorce laws are heavily skewed in favor of women. Women have figured out this phenomenon and realize that they might as well elect women rather than men in the first place.
In other parts of the less cosmopolitan world this tendency has been slower to evolve. In the Middle East, parts of East Asia, Africa and Latin America patriarchy remains the dominant social force. This isn't a misogynistic statement, it's simply a fact. What it means is difficult to say. International competition, economically and militarily, is the focus of government policy. In this competition will the advantage be with the ascendant feminist societies or the traditional patriarchies?
