Are females better leaders than males during global crises?

[Redway]

Or vice versa? In response to one of the Guardian’s latest articles (link below). I just thought it would be nice to respectfully spin this out in some detail.

Depends on the individual person, and the crisis in question.

Theresa May is female, and I can't see her doing much better than BoJo has been.

Obviously it depends on the individual. All’s I can see is Jacinda Adern looks like she’s done amazing.

And do you think she’d have skipped 5 meetings?

I think that her sex wouldn't have influenced this either way unless she was on the blob.

No they are in Control
of Smaller Nations
less population.

Except Germany , of course
who have loads of Roche Labs, already.

Either way females seem to be doing a much better job so far.

[smudgie]

No.

No they mostly are lucky to have
smaller nations they run.

The only way to really compare would be to look at countries of similar sizes who are lead by either gender. Scotland is a fairly small "country", which countries of a similar size have a male leader, and how are they doing?

Yes less Population
and in Germany's Case
loads of Roche Labs
already up and running.

I see.

[Niamh.]

I'm sure it's an individual thing and not down to gender.

[Denver]

South Africa has done pretty good work the virus so far and they have a male leader

[bots]

with very few exceptions, all countries have the same basic approach to handling the virus, it doesn't matter what gender they are.

[Livia]

As with everything else, it should be the best person possible, regardless of genitalia.

[caprimint]

Lol @ people voting for females

Gender is irrelevant

sexist pish, the right person for the job regardless of gender

She would've been rivaling Trump and Winnie The Pooh for incompetence I reckon.

[GoldHeart]

Nothing to do with man or woman
