However, my opinion is based on examining societal trends and we are talking about complex systems and therefore we do not know for sure what the world will be like in 100 years. But I think it is safe to make the forecast, based on the trends, the future is going to be female. Nature seems to be steering us in that direction. Take care.

Q. Dear Ms Sutton, I came across a link to your site in a newsgroup, and it directed me to the section of raising children in a Female Dominated household. I think your advice about teaching by example is absolutely on-target. Children rarely do what parents say, but they will do what parents do. They watch your every move. It's a basic principle of leadership, "Model the behavior you wish your followers to adopt."

When people ask me who my female role models are I respond that one of them is my dad. My dad was a blue-collar项圈 — a band worn around the neck worker with a typical "macho" job. He and my mother had the typical 1950's relationship where dad worked, and mom stayed home and took care of the house and kids. I am certain that my dad was not subservient to my mother, except by choice. It was obvious that he loved her, and always treated her with respect.
