Why Only Women Should Lead (And Men are Generally Inferior)

There are so many studies showing that women are better leaders, more effective, more transformational, better at handling stress, yet here in the U.S. we’ve let men take charge and clearly make a mess of things because, well, that’s how it’s always been.

But honestly who needs science when we know in our gut that women, not men, should lead.

Now before I’m accused of misandry (for the male readers, that means contempt for men), I should be clear:  I love men! They can be charming, good at sport, and are often easy on the eyes. But should they be leaders?  Oh, no.

And the reason, besides women being more academically gifted, is that the majority of men haven’t matured past prepubescence.  (Guys, I’m saying men are stuck in middle-school.)

In fact, many fail even at the simple rules from kindergarten. They can’t keep their hands to themselves, a risky trait for a leader. Even the best PR campaign or stint on Dancing with the Stars can’t erase that damage. 

Men are too emotional and lack impulse control. They’re prone to erupting in angry tirades, sometimes even throwing objects against the wall, and without the benefit of an innate sense of logic, men often think that crime will solve their problems. It’s no wonder that so many male politicians are caught taking bribes.

But worse than white-collar crime, men can turn to violence when they don’t get their way, such as unleashing a savage mob on a government building. Just try to name a female leader guilty of a similar act, I challenge you. Okay, yes, there was Bloody Mary and that terrible woman in Rwanda . . . but you had to look it up, didn’t you?

Some men never outgrow being schoolyard bullies, even going so far as to buy a social media network to allow them to target their victims.   

But possibly the worst trait of these “boy-men” is that they never learned to mind their own business. Likely it’s because of an evolutionary instinct to insert themselves places. Regardless, this uncontrollable urge has led male lawmakers to thrust themselves between women and their doctors, even though these men have little knowledge of the female body.

We never see female legislators making laws that only effect men’s health like restricting who gets a vasectomy or qualifies for Viagra. Though perhaps they should look at that?

And before you say “not all men,” of course, there are exceptions. Just like there’s the rare cat who can be trained to do a trick, yet we know the vast majority cannot.

If more proof is desired, one only has to look at our own country, essentially a 250-year experiment that proves the failures of male leadership. Any woman with a pair of eyes and a passport knows that in other countries, women . . . people are better off having plentiful maternal leave, healthcare and childcare. We wonder why can’t we have these things?

Of course, we know why . . . it’s because of men! (That was a “rhetorical” question, men, meaning it was asked other than for the purpose of obtaining an answer.)

Our society clearly views women as the more competent gender. We put women in charge of homes, children, aging parents, their husband’s aging parents, while also working at their jobs.

When there’s an issue regarding a child, medical professionals and schools call the mom because they know that women will have the facts at their fingertips. Fathers rarely ever know the name of their child’s teacher, and God help the woman who has to try to get complicated medical information from her husband if he received such a call.  It would be easier to get it from the family dog. “What’s that, Buddy? Dylan tested negative for strep? Good boy!”   

Men are inept at home. They can’t cook or do laundry or find things, like that giant jar of taco sauce that is 5 inches from their face in the pantry. Women tell themselves that their husbands actually can do these tasks if they set their minds to it, calling it weaponized incompetence. It’s more palatable than accepting the sad truth, that their husbands are, in fact, idiots. 

But that’s okay! We each have a role to play. There are other ways men can contribute, to society humbly. Men are good at following orders and doing repetitive tasks like data entry, mowing the lawn, and cleaning out animal stalls. Older, retired men, can help with grandchildren. Obviously they shouldn’t be put in charge, but they can play games such as, “Whose got your nose?”  It’s a good use for the aging male and also helps kids learn early that most men are simpletons.

Now, a lot of people are saying that since men contribute less to society, they should have less of a vote, but I don’t know.

That’s an issue best left for the states to decide.
