Horsemanure.

The gender of the lawmakers has nothing to do with anything. Some of the most vicious rulers in history have been women.

As to their comments about women being pragmatic and more able to work together? Again, horsemanure.

The nuns at Mary Immaculate in So Cal wielded rulers in a manner that was no conducive with the tenets of the Roman Catholic Church, but then again, you knew you were in trouble when Sister Mary Torquemada was your teacher.

Purely one man's humble opinion. LOL Women are by nature, the calmer, more mature peacemakers of society. They are used to settling disputes weather
in a family setting or in congress. There are always exceptions to every rule, but they are just that, exceptions.

We have a record number of female Premiers in Canada.

A politician is a politician, as it turns out.

Substitute race for gender.

Or religion.

Or nationality.

If someone here made a statement like yours substituting any of the above for gender, you'd be ...irritated, and the Mayor would most likely at a minimum warn them not to make that statement again.

Victoria, Catherine, Elizabeth, Mary, Indira Ghandi, Bodicea, Isabella, what a wonderful roll call of peacemakers.

There have been vicious rulers of any race or gender - just read history books carefully. SOME women are good peacemakers, but so are some men! And so it goes throughout history.

I have lived with women (all female dorm) and have lived with all men (housemates) and I could tell you which group I preferred living with, but I have friends of both genders anyway!

I would probably agree with you on that choice. It is not wise to make generalizations as a rule, but it probably depends on your POV. I know who was the peacemaker
in my family & a few of my childhood friends felt the same way. With that in mind, here is another interesting article.
