Some of the best onarchs England has ever had have been women- the golden age of Elizabeth, and then the next relatively golden age of Elizabeth the II, and Victoria- also a wonderful queen. We can't think about Amierca in that manner, because we are anti-exceptional in this area. We've never even had one female preisdent. How sad is that?

I don't know for sure if women are better, but looking at the history of England, I can make a pretty good case.

Or more likely, given the extra obstacles that most women face in business or politics, when you find a successful businesswoman or politician, it is because she is more talented than most of her male peers. Otherwise she would not have been successful.

But seriously, if men could get pregnant, there would be an abortion kiosk on every corner.

If you search this page for "gender", this poll indicates fewer women than men think abortion should be generally available and more women than men think it should not be permitted:

But the differences are within the margin of error given at the end of the article.
