I believe that women are generally better leaders, but kind of for the reasons TimG says. Women who rise to the top will be better because they have to be. They will be younger, better educated because the bar is higher.
I disagree. I think it just depends on the person. Can you imagine if Kim Campbell was in office throughout the 90s? Or if Hilary Clinton won the US Election? It would be a disaster. On the other hand Margaret Thatcher was one of Britain's best Prime Ministers.
