I wasn't arguing that a female executive is a <i>proxy></i> for gender equity in a broad sense--that's obviously untrue, unless you think Indonesia is more invested in gender equity than the United States. Rather, nepotism is traditionally a way that women cross a very specific political boundary, and to resist nepotism may be to retard progress along that particular dimension. Hi Matt!
