Women and their judgment

Over the course of my life, I have observed that women generally have better judgment than men. I think we all have seen this. And please note, this is also backed up by statistical data.

Studies show that women generally score higher than men on measures of emotional intelligence. Additionally, studies indicate that men tend to make riskier, less defensible decisions. Maybe that’s the effect of testosterone, or maybe it’s because men are generally less secure and often feel the need to assert an image of confidence. Not sure of the reason.

Studies show that women in leadership roles are more likely to seek input from a wide range of perspectives, ensuring that decisions are made with a fuller understanding of potential outcomes. Men generally take the hierarchical or autocratic paths, doing what they think the boss wants or just doing what they want.

Studies show that women are generally better at multitasking and paying attention to details, giving them an advantage in terms of judgment in situations that require balancing many factors at once.

Research further indicates that women tend to display a higher level of adaptability. Just think of experiences you’ve had with your mom, dad, and grandparents when you were a kid.

In politics, it seems women are generally more likely to be in politics for the good of all, as opposed to furthering their self-interests. This is what I have observed, though I know of no studies to support this. I do know that Congress has never impeached a woman and has impeached 21 men.

Anatomically, women’s brain structure generally gives them an advantage in processing information. In addition, women tend to have a larger corpus callosum (the bridge between the brain’s hemispheres), which apparently allows for better integration of analytical and emotional information.

Given all this, with polls indicating that Kamala Harris has a 21-point lead among women over Donald Trump, I would bet money — and my vote — that Harris is the better choice.
