On a political level, women tend to read less and vote more emotionally than men. 92 percent of readers of political magazines, of any stripe from the Nation to National Review, are men. Kate O'Beirne has said that women are lousy voters and their history proves it. They were instrument in the greatest constitutional flop in history, the Volstead Act. The second was electing the corrupt Harding because he was better looking than his opponent. Today, well there are plenty of examples including the logistically incompatible love of Bill Clinton and the absolute intolerance of sexuality in the workplace. The warm and nurturing stereotype has a downside that isn't talked about...they can be brutally unfair if you don't agree with their point of view and consider you of inferior compassion. Just ask a coworker out on a date if you don't believe this is so. Men didn't come up with laws that would lead to people being fired for discussing a Seinfeld episode by the water cooler.

Men and women have an obligation to overcome the worst angels of their nature. For men this is belligerence and inattentiveness. For women it is emotional reactivity and maternal smothering. Right now while most college educated men understand the need to work on themselves, I see very few women who seem to even want to bear this responsibility.
