There are many very talented women who lead countries, are the chief executives of major companies and who take the initiative in life in all sorts of leadership roles. But frankly, there still aren't enough of them in such roles.

This month has seen the release of exam results across these islands where, generally, once again the females have outperformed the males. And the female to male ratio at university clearly tips in favour of the women. I graduated with a Masters in Pharmacy where us men were clearly in the minority. But I'm not complaining at all nor am I surprised.

I came across a really interesting blog on the Daily Telegraph website which put forward to assertion that the world of work was becoming a woman's world. Although I am still furious that female graduates are still reportedly being paid less then their male counterparts, I am deeply heartened to see women are finally beginning to lead the world as well as continuously succeed in their careers as we go deep into the 21st century. It is simply something we all should celebrate and be very happy about. For too long, they have been held back and forced to settle for second place in life and it is really only now where they have finally overtaken us.

But let's also remember that each and every individual is important. I am also not talking us men down; I am simply acknowledging the fact that the world is more accepting and appreciating of women for all the good they bring to the world than ever before.

The Daily Telegraph blog painted some sort of a picture that the end was inevitable for all men in this world. I don't know if that's the impression that Fraser Nelson of The Spectator magazine was wanting to bring across in the blog but he isn't wrong to mention that it is the men who are having to re-adapt and accept the newly changed world that we live in.

I think there is still a perception amongst some men that they feel threatened by the rise of success from women. The fear of feminine power dominating the world. There is nothing to be scared of. In fact, if anything, the values of femininity are making the world a much better place to live and work in and, personally, for me it is this that drives and motivates me to make the most of my talents and abilities to succeed in life. There are many amazing female role models, many of which I admire.

Women don't want men in this world who are only half bothered about where they are going in life, especially now when they are outperforming us in many professions and other aspects of life. And Fraser mentioned about the idea of men being snubbed because they weren't seen as steady and reliable when it came to romantic partnerships and building a family. We men need to accept now that the idea of not being the breadwinner always isn't a bad one as long as we make the most of our talents and abilities for the good of ourselves and others.

And, to conclude, there's everything right with having a desire to find a woman in life who is a natural leader and takes the initiative.

Fellow blokes, your successful wife or girlfriend is the Queen in the relationship. Show her respect.
