You're right - those are regrettably poor arguments on my part for a thing which I feel but can't substantiate properly. I'll need to look deeper at this one to see if it's worth holding on to this one as much as my gut reaction suggests. I fully intend to do some more thorough research about this, because whether my instinctual reaction is justifiable or not, there has to be a reason for the disparity in numbers between men and women in leadership roles. Actually, scratch that - there is almost certainly a variety of reasons why, and this has made me feel a bit more responsible to understand which ones are valid and which ones are knee-jerk reactions or assumptions. I'll be investigating some of the research out there and some of the actual data, because this is something I'd like to know and not just theorize on. Then perhaps I'll have a more worthwhile response for you.
