WOMEN SHOULD RULE. obv

The Differences between male and female administrators' perceptions of administrative tasks and personal attributes by Elena Sue Easton discussed a study conducted to determine whether there is a difference in the ways men and women conduct administrative responsibilities and if those differences are results of differences in character traits. The study involved men and women ranking the importance of specific "administrative tasks and personal attributes" then rating their own "administrative tasks and personal attributes." The information gathered by the study forms a tangent to several topics discussed in the article "Should Women Rule?" from The Atlantic. The results compounded by the study claim that "Females [also] rated themselves higher in the areas of evaluating, awareness of educational trends, communication, confidentiality, being knowledgeable and motivation than did the male administrators in the study." The "awareness," "communication," and intellectual skills of women were also highlighted in the article from The Atlantic which discusses content from White House press secretary, Dee Dee Myers' book, Why Women Should Rule the World. In the book, Myers states that “women tend to be better communicators, better listeners, better at forming consensus.” Canadian psychologist, Susan Pinker's, book, The Sexual Paradox: Men, Women, and the Real Gender Gap, which claims, "women are more consensus-minded and team-oriented, and are better at reading human visual cues, interpreting feelings, and maintaining relationships and relationship networks than men." After interpreting the study and the article separately, one can conclude that though men may have a more set, conservative line of thought-processes, women tend to make use of conceptual tools and group aid to make decisions or get a job done. The administrative action in politics can be carried out effectively by both men and women though the strategies and temperament displayed by each gender may differ.
