Isn't it a big ego booster when New york times editorial writes think in the same way as you do? Yessir, I think so. In the last blog, I wrote how women are being effected by AIDS and how they can take control of the situation. The following editorial piece in nations thinks so too.
The New York Times > Opinion > Editorial: The feminization of AIDS

To reiterate and repeat myself, if we have any chance of defeating AIDS, we should bet our lives on educating women. The buck stops with women, not only in war against AIDS but against any other social illness.
I sincerely feel women empowered societies stand much more chance and have stake in future.
