The Changing world of Power

So the powerful women summit actually had Lady Gaga and Ellen DeGeneres in the top 10 along with Michelle Obama and Hillary Radham Clinton. Amazing, isn't it? I am not sure if this is great or not. Part of my mind says- Yes! Its wonderful. Now we can make and bring change from whichever platform we can climb on. We have so so many more now to make our voices heard. To save others like us. To change policies. Music=Politics=Sports=Grit=Education=Courage=Determination... and so on. And yet, I wonder. Is Germany's Angela Merkel=Lady Gaga? Is Hillary Radham Clinton=Ellen De Generes? Things to ponder, and yet, if one is considering equality of sheer pure influence, they are equivalent, aren't they? But, the question is, is one influence better than another? And yet, and yet, as long as all these women are advancing the cause of gender quality and gender progress, and making waves in this long stagnant ocean of men, it's good, isn't it?
