Well he has a point, men do tend to have a better temprament to lead since the distribution of qualities is men is highly spread out, bu extention of which there are more men who are at the very peak, hence in more of a position to lead while also making up most of the bottom of the landscape(more than 90 percent people in prison men and more than 90 percent top ceo's also men) On average men and wemen may be equal but at the extremes it is almost all men.

[@brotherindeed992]

@Tejas Srikanth 90 percent people in jails:- Men 90 percent top ceos:- Men 90 percent top richest:- Men Its clear to see all the people with extreme traits are men, as you want the leader to be the very best, it is almost always men, not saying its all men though, just most. As for proof, in the top 100 players there is one woman, one, and 10 percent players are wemen in total, while wemen are just as capable as men, people who tend to spen 16 hours a day working their entire life mostly tend to be men. Hows that for proof?

[@brotherindeed992]

@Tejas Srikanth yes correlation isnt causation, not necessarily but, here is the thing, of the top working people most are men, just one point, highest hours productive working people are mostly men(above 12 hours) Now this does qualify most top leaders to be men, there is no doubt here better capability more leadership skills equals top positions. This is why most top leaders are men, dont deny facts bro.

You aren't allowed to mention anyone's name, therefore leader of the opposition deputy speaker, whip, etc. It's to make it very clear that it isn't personal and it's the position that matters, not who sits in the chair, but the chair itself. At least in Theory.

For those of you bagging out Julia Gillard for this speech, especially saying she didn't write it. Speech-makers rarely write their own speeches, and if you watch, she doesn't read a thing, it's all a guide. It's the passion and delivery and OWNS the opposition. She literally destroyed the liberal party in this speech, and they know it.

Incorrect...”I wish there was some intricate backstory. The truth is, I hadn’t decided that it was the moment … Because I’d been expecting him to talk about sexism, I’d had my office give me his top sexist quotes.

[@rueg3876]

Mason yes clearly that’s why many women aren’t in power in America. Must also be why when Hilary Clinton went to university, she was harassed as she wrote exams for being a woman. Also why your president says he’ll grab women by a certain part of their anatomy.
