Speaking from experience. Women are more emotional. <<< millennials and younger can stop reading here and downvote
Just scientifically going off how hormones fluctuate both in their monthly cycle and throughout their lives and turning perimenopausal to completely menopauze, is no walk in the park.
Most men would not handle that very well. I my experience with women in positions of power, they are just way more aware and can self regulate a lot better just because of this.
Are they though, or are they experiencing different emotions which we somehow define as a hindrance to politics or CEO life? Because some monkey brain alpha dude president is surely feeling rage, greed and hate, and that doesn't make him a good president or CEO or whatever position in power. Compassion would be a good addition in this portfolio.
Not to mention... the whole "they're regulating it better" thing. Yeah. emotional regulation leads you to being... less influenced by emotion.. that is to say... "less emotional".
More importantly, the difference is pretty fucking marginal. Like you can find examples of both genders (and not to mention plenty between) who are cold as freaking ice. there's also plenty of the opposite, too. Most of us fall somewhere near the middle.
Suffice it to say the range as a species is much larger than the distinction between genders.
I just watched a woman in emergency management give a class in a room with busted A/C while she was experiencing a menopause hot flash that had her hair soaked with sweat.
Sick to death of arguments that because women have feelings, they can't be as or more capable. She might have sweat on every surface of her body, but that woman has ice in her veins.
