Would the world likely to become a better place to be if more women were presidents?

Question

I have heard people saying that most women more often than not tend to follow their own instincts/feelings rather than stick to facts when it comes to making important decisions in highly sensitive positions,such as heads of states or presidents. Do you really believe this is the case or just hogwash? In either case, please, give enough arguments to back it up. Thanks.

Answer 1

Changing the gender of the presidents elected is not enough to improve conditions if the system itself is not changed. There is no evidence to demonstrate that women presidents would not be corporate lackeys any less than men. Free market fundamentalism is the primary obstacle to improving conditions on this planet. We must abandon unrestrained capitalism and accept reasonable limits on what the markets are allowed to do.

Answer 2

I think it has to be a basis by basis decision. Not all women will make good Presidents and not all men will make good Presidents. It's more specific than that.

And what you said about women is not nessessarily right. I think that would be generalizing women. You can't say that all women only follow their instincts and not common sense evaluations of the situations at hand. I think there is a combination of both. I think that we all have intuition that we hear coming from within sometimes and we use it along with the facts that are out there. Thats how you make a round about decision, you weigh the facts with what you know and feel. As a woman myself I feel that I use everything I have to make rational decisions.

Answer 3

No, I don't think the world would be better if more women were presidents or in similar political positions. Politics, I'm sad to say, is a male-oriented field. I don't really think it's possible for a woman to retain the feminine quality of intuition and manage to win against a more logical opponent. She'd have to kick the intuition and feelings to the side and become more logical and factual to even be elected to the city council. That's why female politicians are often the butt of jokes that question their femininity. They'd had to act like men to get to any high position.

Answer 4

This is a difficult question and I don't think it has a truly definative answer. Woman do indeed go more with feelings but it is more than that. Woman tend to be the peace makers (although we do our share of raising heck too). It is instinctive to better preserve the unity of the family and I suspect it would transfer to seeing the world as "our family". Men tend to be more combative which usually will escalate an already bad situation. Just human nature. Do I think women would make better presidents? No comment. It depends on the individual...just as with a man.

Answer 5

it is a nice project
but i would not go on large to see how it goes first
i would give them first a small country to govern of 2000 pple.(as a village )
then if things go alright small city.
small country
one country which is small
then one country which is poor
and so on
procedures would take 200 years at least

Answer 6

No, not more than any man
