Do Women Make Better Leaders Than Men?

The United States has never had a female president. Is this because men are inherently better leaders than women?

Personality for Leadership: Women better suited for leadership than men, research demonstrates
"’The results indicate that, as regards personality, women are better suited for leadership than their male colleagues when it comes to clarity, innovation, support and targeted meticulousness,’ according to the BI researchers.”

Are Women Better Leaders than Men?
“But the women’s advantages were not at all confined to traditionally women’s strengths. In fact at every level, more women were rated by their peers, their bosses, their direct reports, and their other associates as better overall leaders than their male counterparts — and the higher the level, the wider that gap grows.”

Men or Women: Who’s the Better Leader?
“Asked what accounts for this slow movement toward gender parity in top political positions, about half (51%) of all survey respondents say a major reason is that Americans simply aren’t ready to elect a woman to high office…”

I thought this was supposed to be a scientific channel.
You quoted studies that gathered their data from surveys on people opinions of traits, and then concluded that the opinions are therefore fact.
Other than the study done on foot Oder by the Shiseido Research Center in Yokohama I don't believe I have ever been witness to a less scientific study.
My little brother is doing a-level psychology and even he can tell the study is complete bogus (I'm sure anyone with half a brain also can).
These studies you quoted don't even merit an "F" in a-level, if you call yourself a scientific channel please try to include more reliable and ecologically valid studies.

"Yeah most people said they make equal leaders so that means women are better"

alright

[johndoe-nfpg]

since when do women have a high fucking level of emotional stability?

[bruenna]

walk into a room and say, "women are better then men." everyone cheers. walk into a room and say, "Men are better then women." everyone thinks your a bigot and chases you out of the room.

*Don't vote for someone simply based on their gender*

[notstarsky]

great female leaders like Angela Merkel? lol no

[GalaxyGal-]

I'm unscubscribing. In less than a month, DNews has gone down time drain.

[alopexau]

Wow, this one seriously has me considering unsubscribing.

You know what makes a better leader? The person with the better skills. Gender doesn't even fucking enter into it.

[EmblemOfCoD]

The only important thing when electing public officials is policy. Nothing else. Gender is arbitrary.

This is one of the most sexist videos I've seen on youtube.

[maxiswetv]

Reporting this for being hateful content against a specific gender.

[eat_ze_bugs]

It's not about gender, it's about personality.

[SwordSkill]

The very concept of deciding who is better based on gender is sexism by itself.

[Azurren]

Just to be clear. The participants of this survey were asked loaded questions to achieve a gender specific answer:
"Who do you think are more honest, Men or Women?"

Pew socials whole study is anecdotal based on the opinions / beliefs of the survey participants. All it shows is the current social norm where women are currently favored far higher than men by public opinion. This is troubling.

HERE'S SOME MATH, DNEWS. This is nothing but a game of numbers.

You're basically trying to compare a set of 95 men to a set of 5 women, and coming to the conclusion that women are better leaders because 4 of them are good (80%) and 60 of the men are good (only 63%). It only demonstrates that a larger % of woman leaders happen to be "good leaders". That's because women are generally NOT geared toward leadership, and the ones who are geared toward leadership are more likely to excel at it and stand out. In other words, the conclusion of these studies is completely invalid since the sample sizes are so VASTLY different. Math and logic must be sexist though.

There's only one thing I learned from this video - Vote Trump.

[juliannar]

this is really ridiculous and sad. when sexism is against women, it's unfair. when it's against men, apparently it's seen as fair. Sexism against anyone is awful. Nice Hillary ad, Dnews.

[Urhoboman]

1:20 The people were asked *who they thought* was better in those categories.
That from the very beginning was an epic fail!!!

[haraldwergeland]

Just one question.. How would everyone react if the title said "do men make better leaders than women" instead?

[Alonsos]

I've never once looked at women as inferior in any way. That being said, i've been hearing how women are better than men for quite a while now. I choose my politicians like I deal with used car salesmen; The harder you try and sell it, the more and more skeptical I become. You're making it even harder for me to trust Hillary with videos like this Dnews...

[thabg]

before I even clicked on the video, I just knew the like dislike ratio would be crazy
