Oh, no. There's a lot of indications men are more eager for leadership
positions, and good sociobiological reasons for that. That's very different
from the claim that they're *better* at it. Comparing societies with
minimal female leadership (Islamic fundamentalists) with those with
extensive female leadership (Scandanavia) suggests *women* are better
at leadership (on average) and that's also my personal experience.
