If you are using women’s failures to arrive at the conclusion that “Women are bad leaders”
Why aren’t you using countries like:
Afghanistan
North Korea
Sudan
Syria
Eritrea
Myanmar
Yemen
Haiti
Somalia
South Sudan
Democratic Republic of the Congo
Libya
Venezuela
Zimbabwe
Belarus
Turkmenistan
Chad
Central African Republic
Mali
Burkina Faso
To determine that men are terrible leaders.
“Women talk more than men”
In a recent study it was found that when women talked 15% of the time (and men 85% of the time), men perceived it as equal participation. And when women talked 30% of the time, men perceived it as women dominating the discussion.
I was at a restaurant yesterday and there was a couple sitting near me with two small kids.
The mom spent the entire meal:
cutting food,
cleaning spills,
taking one kid to the bathroom,
keeping the baby from screaming,
asking the waiter for extra napkins every five minutes…
Meanwhile the dad sat there scrolling sports highlights on his phone.
At one point the little girl asked her mom,
“Why don’t you ever eat with us?”
The woman laughed and said,
“Mommies eat later.”
Then the husband looked up from his phone and goes,
“See? She likes staying busy. I’d be stressed doing all that.”
A few people around them laughed politely.
She laughed too.
But she still hadn’t touched her food.
And honestly I think that’s how a lot of women disappear slowly.
Not all at once.
Just piece by piece while everyone around them calls it “being a good mom.”
