Women have a unique ability to balance logic w/ empathy. That makes women BETTER leaders.

Look at the progress being made in Mexico 🇲🇽 under Claudia. How Italy’s PM held her ground. Michelle Obama.

It’s clear as day. We need more women leaders on the world stage!

This young man, fire!

1. I can think of no one single thing that would make the world a better place

than more women holding more of the levers of power.

[NoRethugFriends]

4. Thatcher? Meloni? LePen? Barrett? Sarah Huckabee Sanders? Kim Reynolds? Kay Ivey? - Kelly Ayotte?

[AZJonnie]

5. Are you arguing against the general idea based on there existing some notable exceptions?

These are women who held power, yes, but that was within the realm of the overall patriarchal power system. I'm speaking in generalities here, and also talking about a wholesale shift in paradigm

[NoRethugFriends]

6. Thatcher created her own paradigm

Sorry, it's the individual that counts. Nothing forced the women I mentioned to be who they were.

[EdmondDantes_]

2. While I agree we need more women leaders,

The ability to balance logic with empathy isn't just available to women. Yes women through our cultural teachings tend towards that, but I think it is also often present in others who have either faced discrimination or trauma. Biden and Obama were great at it for example.

I don't think anyone should be describing a formerly overt fascist, now "just" nationalist anti-gay anti-immigrant far right leader like Giorgia Meloni in such a positive light as to compare her with Michelle Obama and Claudia Sheinbaum. Yeah she didn't knuckle under to Trump, but they still share a lot of the same horrible values.

3. biological determinism is gross

[mr715]

7. Leaders are male and female.

[msfiddlestix]

8. As a woman fighting for equality over a span of 60 years, i ,earned never to make these

Kinds of declarations or assertions. If no other time in history, certainly current stable of women holding office of power across most positions of power who are proud maggots, completely devoid of any resemblance of logic or empathy. County clerks to the u.s. Supreme Court

11. I tend to agree

and often, the behavior attributed to gender is often simply a reflection of what they are typically allowed to display

[senseandsensibility]

9. If your assertion is true

I think it is because of life experience, not a natural proclivity for women to be more empathetic and/or logical. I think women are so used to be undervalued, underestimated, and misjudged that they naturally pull out all the stops just to be accepted. I can tell you from experience (I'm female) that the pressure to be all things to everyone at all times is immense. If men experienced that, maybe they would rival women's abilities in these areas.

10. The speed at which that young man quoted his sources was impressive.

I think it is fine for men to be leaders and presidents. Once we have evened the score in that regard in terms of number of female presidents, i see nothing wrong with having men hold that office again. So come back to this question in ~250 years.

Exceptions — keep Mamdani, and if Barrack Obama can get elected again, another 2 terms would be just about right.

[Morbius]

12. I think this is sexism.

Neither gender has a better ability to balance logic with empathy. This is nonsense.

Neither gender is inferior. Neither gender is superior. We need to get past this.

To those who say it is time for a woman to be in charge I reply, it depends on the woman.

[Jedi Guy]

13. "Women have a unique ability to balance logic w/ empathy. That makes women BETTER leaders."

Neither gender is inherently more logical than the other. Neither gender is more intelligent than the other. Male and female brains process information slightly differently but that's about the extent of it.

There's no evidence that women are overall better leaders than men or vice versa. "Leadership" is a nebulous quality that either gender can possess and can be used for good or ill depending on the individual leader in question.

[GenThePerservering]

14. ROFL! I knew this would upset some people

the least thought that women may be better at something than men causes knees everywhere to jerk.

[Skittles]

15. OK that is NOT what it is

seriously

for example, "women's intuition" - is that some kind of uncanny ability, or just a natural result of women being taught to place the needs of others as a higher priority?

[meadowlander]

16. Let's not. Also Giorgia Meloni is a nightmare far right whack job who is limiting parental rights for gay people.

Her government has obstructed humanitarian search-and-rescue operations at sea and enacted policies to outsource asylum processing.

She has also been accused of attempting to turn the state broadcaster RAI into a government mouthpiece through the appointment of political loyalists and the cancellation of programs featuring critical journalists.

Having empathy and being a good leader have nothing to do with what is or isn't in your pants. More women leaders, yes, for representation, not because we're holding onto outdated gender stereotypes.
