The Youngest Elected Serving State Leader in 2024

The current Prime Minister of Iceland (Forsætisráðherra Íslands) since 21 December, 2024, Kristrún Frostadóttir, from the Social Democratic Alliance party (centre-left), is the youngest elected serving state leader per January 2025 at age 36. Hopefully their government will run smoothly and still get parliamentary support.

one of the most beautiful examples of female solidarity and female revenge is Mathilde de Toscane, powerful countess and fearsome war leader, who not only convinced the son of her enemy, Emperor Henri IV, to join her own camp, but also learned that the latter had kidnapped and cheated on his wife, Empress Praxedis/Adelaide, whom he also forced to sleep with other men, and so decided to free her and accompany her to Rome herself, so that she could tell the Pope all about it, inflicting on Henri an emotional wound, and a profound military and strategic loss, as well as freeing his wife from his horrors (Mathilde also got her revenge by doing this - Henri had spread the rumor a few years earlier that she was sleeping with the pope. He surely regretted it)

Mexico's President Claudia, An Encouraging Philosophical Sign...

The world’s philosophy is changing, returning to an old pattern: if things go real wrong, roll out the women…. Indeed the female brain is the other side of humanity…. Human ethology, in full, must include women. Claudia Sheinbaum became the first woman and Jewish person to lead Mexico in 200-year history as an independent nation. “For the first time, we women have arrived to lead the destinies of…

Elaine Brown (USA, b. 1943)

Elaine Brown, the only woman at the top of the Black Panthers Party between 1974 and 1977. “The Party was dominated by men. Even though there are people who would like to pretend that at some point it was mostly women, that’s just not true. But I would say that every one of the sisters that I knew were all tough broads. And we had to be tough when we joined the Party. We didn’t join for some…

[sttoru]

clan leader!satoru, whose smile isn’t actually a. . . smile. it serves as a gentle (yet not-so-gentle) threat to whomever it is dedicated to. a lot of the gojo clan members, as well as members from other noble clans, have heard of that infamous smile and know of its true meaning.

ever since marrying you, that smile often finds its way onto his lips. it’s not because of you, but rather because of the ones interacting with you. satoru didn’t ever expect to feel so possessive about someone he initially didn’t care for.

a marriage of convenience is all that your relationship was for. it purely existed for the sake of a connection between two famous families. your first weeks together have been awkward. any form of affection - any touches or loving words - were for the sake of his image.

however that all was fated to change: satoru eventually found himself falling for his wife.

your kind personality, your subtle smiles, the embarrassed expression on your face whenever he teased you in front of others even if it was all a faux display- an act of being all lovey-dovey. your inner and outer beauty was slowly becoming more apparent to the white-haired man.

you don’t know when it started. you can’t recall why satoru is suddenly acting affectionate even behind closed doors. usually, he’d drop the act the second you’re in your chambers. now he continues to compliment you, pepper you with chaste kisses as long as you allowed him to… even refer to you as his ‘dear’, ‘pretty girl’ or ‘sweetheart’ to your face like it’s nothing.

you shrug off your own guards and maids when they curiously inform you about their lord’s sudden change of personality, which was supposedly all because of you.

“ah, my wife,” satoru’s voice echoes above the loud chatter in the main hall. you turn your head and find your heart racing for some reason as he addresses you in that gentle tone.

he makes his way through the crowd, eyes never leaving your face, even as other important figures try to catch his attention to talk business. “i was greatly worried about you,” your husband sighs.

a gloved hand cups your face and satoru leans in, his glossy lips inches from yours. you’d think this was part of the fake arrangement, but there’s this genuine hint of adoration behind his cerulean eyes that you cannot ignore.

“i— my apologies,” you murmur softly, eyes darting around the room while you try to ignore the loud thumping of your heart. “i was simply talking to one of the guards,” you explain and nod your head to the bulky man standing next to you.

the guard respectfully bows to satoru the second you introduce him. your husband doesn’t respond for a single second, his fingers twitching lightly at his side. he can’t stand the thought of you talking to another man while he isn’t around.

is it for your own safety? or is it because he’s jealous and immediately wants to get rid of any man who dares speak to his precious wife? perhaps it’s a mixture of both.

“i see,” satoru replies. his eyes darken for a second before he catches himself. the corners of his lips curl upwards, though the smile doesn’t quite reach his eyes.

that familiar sight makes you nervous. you’ve seen it before, when your husband would subtly threaten others for whatever reason, while hiding his true feelings behind that smile.

“well,” satoru continues, his arm wrapping around your waist. he pulls you against his side and places a kiss on top of your head while glaring at the guard through his white eyelashes.

“thank you for keeping my wife safe,” the clan leader says through that tight smile, trying to keep it as ‘genuine’ looking as possible. he has a reputation and image to uphold after all.

you’re about to say something, but are cut off as satoru adds another comment. “i’m here now, so you can return to your post.”

it isn’t a suggestion. it is an order— a command. a disguised threat.

the guard immediately picks up on the subtle hint and nods without saying a word before walking back to his spot at the doors. you can hear the faint whispers from others as they also seem to recognise that change in satoru’s demeanour.

it’s not like you’re totally oblivious to what’s happening either. you look up at satoru and place a hand on his chest, trying to catch his attention. “satoru,” you whisper his name.

the white-haired man immediately snaps out of it and excitedly shoots you that boyish smile of his instead of the fake, cold one he wore on his face just a second ago.

“you called, my dear?” satoru tilts his head, bringing a hand to rest over yours on his chest. your eyes widen a bit at the way he seems to relax and look at you with that same devoted gaze.

you don’t think it’s an act anymore. the words die on your tongue and you can’t recall what you wanted to say anymore. those sparkling blue eyes and charming smile have you rendered speechless.

“…it’s nothing,” you mutter under your breath. you have no clue how you’ve managed to turn that once, cocky, overly confident and cold-hearted ruler into a total softie for you. it’s something you still need to process yourself.

satoru doesn’t leave your side for the rest of the night, glaring at the men who pass by, shooting them that fake, threatening smile if they looked like they desired to converse with you.

you’re his wife, and that’s that. he silently wonders when you’ll realise that he actually fell for you. perhaps you are already aware of it, but hide it from him on purpose.

whatever the case is, satoru will make sure that you know his true feelings for you. one day he will tell you those three words explicitly— if it wasn’t obvious enough through his sudden change of behavior.

Michele Bullock to replace Lowe as RBA governor

Deputy Reserve Bank governor Michele Bullock will become Australia’s first female central bank governor. Ms Bullock, who was among the favourites to replace Philip Lowe, was anointed by cabinet on Friday morning.

Lowe has become a figure of public anger for the poor guidance the bank gave during the pandemic when it speculated the cash rate would stay at the record low of 0.1 per cent until 2024. It has increased 12 times since May last year

Ms Bullock is considered by current and former RBA officials and board members to have not put a foot wrong since becoming the first female deputy in the bank’s 62-year history. She is a seasoned economist with good communication and people skills.

As we explore the loss of Chicago's first black female Mayor according to last nights election results, we want to take a close look at how men really feel about electing females to government leadership positions. Do men still believe that leadership belongs in the hands of men? Why or why not?
