I have often thought that in a truly egalitarian world the innate differences between men and women (more verbal, more focused on people and relationships on average) would mean a majority of politicians would be women. It just makes sense!

Thanks youuu🫶 for this insightful take. I find that being a good leader is not necessarily a gender thing because as you said there have been tons of shitty female leaders. But, if a woman is willing to not try to impress her male counterparts or act 'logical' in order to fit in and be accepted then yh the world would be a better place. That's just what I think.

Thank you :) I agree it's a mindset issue, there have been great male leaders too but those were the ones that had the community mindset and focused on others instead of themselves.

Great African socialist leaders like Sankara, Kwame Nkrumah, Sékou Touré etc. of course they were quickly sabotaged by imperialist male forces...
