  1. I'm a retired college professor and in my thirty year career, had to deal with both male and female administrators. When things went wrong, the males often (not always) responded with "How can I fix this?", taking accountability for correcting the situation. When things went wrong, the females rarely responded with "How can I fix this?" but instead sought to assign blame to someone else without correcting the situation. When they female administrators did acknowledge that a mistake had to be set right, they invariably delegated the task to someone else, distancing themselves from it as much as possible. The female administrators, when criticized, almost always assumed the posture of a victim, while the males often said (grudgingly) "Ok, fair enough, I hear you." Male-led departments at our college were almost always more effectively and decisively led than female-led departments. I've come to the painful but inevitable conclusion that in most cases, it's desirable to have men in charge because we will take accountability for correcting mistakes, while women seek to avoid it. There's a reason societies have been led by males throughout civilization; females rarely possess the essential trait of leadership, which is Harry Truman's motto: "the buck stops here".

  2. I grew up in the middle of two sisters. When I did something wrong, my parents held me accountable. When my sisters did something wrong, my parents made excuses for them. This is very common in the upbringing of children in Western societies. So is it really biology or socialization that explains women avoiding accountability? Men are accountable from our earliest memories (and boys are punished far more often and more harshly than girls both at home and at school) while girls merely have to whip up some tears and all is forgotten and forgiven. Most likely its both "nature" and "nurture". We human beings are complicated animals, aren't we?

  3. Women don't want you to fix the problem, they want you to express sympathy for their tribulation. Learn you will, young Jedi.
