1. (I think you meant poonlight graham.)

2. "Women have to be better" to get there ... often true.

3.  Time to try something different?
1. Sorry they both had good points.  It's impossible to isolate variables here, and there is too small a sample of women.  We are left to agree on things that *seem* to be obvious and true such as...

2. ... this thing.  Also as was pointed out, only Western countries elect women.  It's actually true what TimG says: "i.e. countries with a culture that make it possible for women to fill these top posts are going to do better. "  This is a vote in favour of diversity from TimG btw.

3. I don't think it's valid to assume women have a different bio-cultural makeup that makes them 'better' leaders.  If you allow that kind of assumption, in principle, it takes you to weird places like... British people can't cook and Italians can't fix cars etc.
