I think that's a specious assertion with no verifiable scientific data. Google searches are not going to reveal reliable statistics on that.

As to women, I don't underestimate the power of women at all. My wife is a powerful and smart woman. I worked for many powerful and smart women, as well as having had many work for me. No question in my mind that women and men are equals intellectually and in capability. Not sure why we're discussing that. This issue has been settled for years, but it is yet another example of liberals protesting for rights they already have.

Why does gender matter? At the end of the day, all that matters is competence. How humane and nurturing will our women be when China continues to spread their dominance by making American companies and institutions say and do what they want them to? How far will our women legislatures allow China to push us? Will we be nurturing and caring or will we recognize that a Communist Dictatorship that imprisons and abuses over a million people and controls the thoughts and actions of a billion more through a Social Credit Scoring system and through not allowing them to choose their own leaders in a Democratic vote, is a country and government that is at fundamental odds with the values of Western Civilization. Will we let them roll over us until we are all under their thumb? Or will we push back? That is our existential question, not whether some man gets to wear women's clothes or some underage child gets to have transgender surgery.

This country has its priorities totally screwed up. We are failing to see our decline and extinction as we dither of ridiculous issues that have no long term bearing on anything.
