Military language is decidedly " masculine " and autistic. Women may also be less likely to compartmentalize and think in terms of the success of their own group in a vacuum, or to refer compulsively to a " bottom line " rather than noticing context and the overall balance of interests. Compartmentalization is responsible for a great deal of corruption and stupidity in politics, and a more even male/female ratio should prevent it to some degree. It would not be enough to have a female at the top, because a political system molds its leaders to conform to the needs of the group as much as the other way around. __________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
