Working longer hours is not the same as working harder. It has been proven time and time again that longer hours does not correlate to the same productivity gain. Maybe women work smarter.

Are you saying that women can't built villages, towns, cities, infrastructure and utilities? So by your reasoning men can't raise kids? Since historically that was always the female job. Who raised, fed, clothed, nurtered, kept safe the men that build your county?

There are differences between men and women. Men have a tendency to be more specialized while women have a tendency to be more balanced.

These are only tendencies. Where do you fit?
	Men with more specialized brains	Women with more balanced brains
Advantages	More likely to become geniuses and experts	Better at managing, generalist thinking, and "intuitive" thinking (ie. aware of many aspects of a situation).
Disadvantages	More likely to become absent-minded experts, and be poor managers	Less likely to excel as experts
Careers where this tendency is a real advantage	Musician, Craftsmen, Specialist in any field, and any career using spatial sense	President, CEO, Manager, Supervisor, Mother, Nurse, Secretary, Lawyer, Cook, Teacher

Examples are easy to find.

• Hospitals are almost "run" by nurses. Specialist male doctors ask the generalist nurses what is happening with their patients.
• Secretaries are exceedingly important at keeping most organizations operating smoothly, thereby making the CEO and specialists successful.
• Most men do not seem very adept at being house-husbands, which involves keeping track of many things happening at the same time.

Yet why is it that the nurse is seen as the lesser while the specialist gets the big paycheck and recognition? Same for secretaries?
Kinda ironic females are better suited to be president or ceo, yet they are in the minority. (14%) only 24 out of the top 500.

The world was always run by men, that doesn't mean they're the only ones or the best ones suited to the task. There's certainly a lot of room for improvement, and more balanced thinking is definitely needed on all levels.

Men found and build up companies out of those 500 companies how many were founded by men? At least 95% of them. All of the biggest companies were founded by men and over 95% of patents are by men. So you are saying men should found a company, take financial risks to make it work then the moment it becomes successful hand the leadership of his company over to a woman, just no. Also you can't do maths because 24 out of 500 is 4.8 % not 14%.

Nurses are more valuable than doctors and surgeons lol, They get paid less because their  job requires less qualifications and skill. Lastly where the hell did you get the idea that women are more suited to leadership? The whole of human history would disagree.

You can't read...

Only 14.2% of the top five leadership positions at the companies in the S&P 500 are held by women, according to a CNNMoney analysis.

It's even worse if you just consider the very top. Out of 500 companies, there are only 24 female CEOs.

Yes 4.2% in the top 500.


You keep arguing out of the historical situation. Because men were always in power they should stay in power? Because men founded the company, a qualified female can't be just as or even more succesful running that company? Why are females less suited to leadership?

Are men that great at leadership?

Hint, there are none.

Was Thatcher not a good leader?

I would like to see a hospital run by only specialist doctors... Maybe you're living in the past?

Educational level is usually part of the definition of a doctor or nurse.  This is no longer a reliable indicator.  A doctor has an undergraduate degree and an MD.  But a doctor might be a DO also, a doctor of osteopathic medicine.  A nurse has an undergraduate degree in nursing.  Except that, a nurse might have an undergraduate degree in something other than nursing, and get the nursing training later in a master’s degree program.  Up until relatively recently you didn’t have to have a BSN to be a nurse, an associates degree was enough.  Now a nurse might have a master’s degree or a PhD.  A nurse practitioner has a master’s degree.  A physician assistant might also.

But the law and society have laid the ultimate privilege and burden on the person that people call “doctor.”  That’s the difference.
