Nicola Sturgeon claims world would be a ‘better place’ if ruled by women

Thanks! It is indeed amazing that feminists argue how women make better leaders and point to statistics/research from other countries as though they're entirely relevant to the UK, but then when we actually get three women in significant positions of power at roughly the same time here in the UK, turns out they're no different and just part of the same flawed system. Amazing! What counter examples do you have soecific to the UK?

FYI I've seen some feminists blogs and debates where they argue that women make better leaders partly because of being more empathetic due to being the mothers in society (a fact that women are mothers, aren't they? Or is that too un-PC to say anymore?). For example. Highly relevant to the topic, don't you think? You only have to look into any article or research explaining what the arguments are in favor of women leaders being better (or perceived to be better) to understand what the factors are for that perception.That's kinda why I referenced it sarcastically for the current Home Secretary. The point is that this whole argument is flawed reasoning as demonstrated by these 3 women in recent positions of power and specifically Priti Patel who is arguably the most ruthless and cold Home Secretary we've had in a long while. Simply having women in positions of power for the sake of it is a flawed argument no?

Who knew that referencing an argument made by some feminists would trigger other feminists huh! But that's Reddit for you. Tut tut tut. Back to the drawing board for you all.
