Lenny Kravitz ‘Women Should Rule the World’

The legend that is Lenny Kravitz is of the discerning opinion that women should rule the world. Now we’re not saying we want out with the men entirely and in with a women-lead world, but certainly, a bit more balance in positions of power would be nice.

In a fantastic interview with Flatt magazine, the rock icon indulges us in his rather insightful take on the world, including his very respectful view of women. Here’s a snippet:

?I personally think women should be running the world. I know that’s such a funny, easy thing to say. My first experience with women would be my grandmother, my mother and my aunt. They were the women that raised me. At an early age, I understood it in my spirit the strength of women, the loyalty of women, the fact that women do whatever they need to do to take care of their families or loved ones. Women’s dedication, hard work, honor. These women were the rocks of my life, the pillars of my life. Without these women, life for our families would not be what they are. I believe women are so much more sensible, have so much better intuition, and ultimately are stronger. For me, I’ve always gotten along better with women. I’ve always related to them better. I’m glad that that feminine side is a big part of my upbringing. To answer our question, I think that there should be a lot better representation by women in the running of this planet in so many ways.?

Well, Mr Kravitz, we couldn’t have said it better ourselves. Here’s to more people opening themselves up to a mindset like this in 2015.
