Is she not aware that the Lehman brothers had been dead for about a century before the collapse happened?

Going with her estimation of women the Lehman sisters wouldn’t of started up a business to begin with because that involves a level of significant risk...

Simply because there would not have been anywhere for it to collapse from.

Right now, India is in some trouble because banks gave billions to industrialists who are not paying bank and absconding, so much so that the it effected overall economy. All bank leaders came up when women empowerment was being promoted, banks are even trying to protect those women even now.

Edit: to add that at least one major bank's women CEO is under investigation for cheating or benefiting for such deals.

Didn't you know that women are inherently good?

More evidence that Sen Kristen Gillibrand is a sexist. If she is up for re election in November dont vote for this female chauvinist.

When Lehman went under, both the Chief Risk Officer and the Chief Financial Officer were women.

What her line of reasoning oversees is that, even if you could argue that typically male traits helped cause the bubble of speculation, she is talking about one, highly selective firms. The men and women that made it to positions of authority in banks like Lehmann are likely to have much more in common with one another than with their genders overall. Just like even if you can argue that women CEOs do as well or better than male CEOs, you cannot conclude that more women CEOs would be good for the economy unless you can also stipulate that those additional women CEOs would have the same or better traits as the women CEOs who have already made it.

Amazing how much of the debate simply ignores this...

If it was Lehman sisters, they would be a single store pay day loan outfit in the mid-west.

So that's why HP did so well under Carly Fiorina, then Meg Whitman..
