No, female leaders are not better at fighting Covid-19

“Claiming that women are different to men because of their feminine intuition, their caring side or their gentle nature is an old and ugly form of sexism. Women are taking a leading role in fighting this virus, but not because they are biologically predisposed to do so.”

Only a female reporter could say something so bold (aka right on the nose) these days. Kudos to her for calling out sexist bullshit for what it smells like.

XavierMalory · 2020-04-20T19:45:20+00:00

Does it have the brain/expertise/qualification?

Yes - give it the job

No - give it not the job

Has a c**t?

How does this even factor in???

What's this crap with "female doctors", "female scientists", "female politicians". Frankly, there are fields where only facts (should) matter. Why should a certain genital anatomy qualify as relevant in these fields?

Pretty repulsive, really.

Anger in Sweden as elderly pay price for coronavirus strategy

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/apr/19/anger-in-sweden-as-elderly-pay-price-for-coronavirus-strategy

There was even an article mentioning blaming lack of female prime minister is what caused high issues.

Rhayn08 · 2020-04-20T20:43:57+00:00

" For years, people have argued for greater female representation in parliament or public life because women apparently create a more consensual, caring atmosphere that leads to better decision-making. "

Yeah, whoever claims this has never worked with a large number of women. When there's a large group, caring atmosphere is the exact opposite of what happens.

The Forbes article chooses to list either the Prime Minister or the president as the country's leader depending on whichever one is female. Almost each listed country has a Male PM or president. They also conveniently leave out Canada and South Korea. In other words, it's feminist cherry-picking.

Drekalo · 2020-04-20T19:17:20+00:00

Caring? Have you ever seen a woman argue/debate? Shit gets nasty, quick.

I’m from NZ

Our PM has done a good job, but it’s not because she’s a women, nor has she done it alone. There’s so many factors to our country working at the moment, and it all falls into line very conveniently.

our population density is one of the lowest in the world (167 least dense / 200 countries )
we had huge forewarning with other countries because it reached here later. We simply copied the things that worked in other countries
we have good health care and sanitation
a relatively low population
an abiding lot of citizens (for the most part). Made much easier by the 12 BILLION dollars given to employers to forward to employees who are out of work / proven making less due to COVID.
a director general of health who is exceptional (Dr Ashley Bloomfield)

It’s not because she’s a woman, and she is also supported by a whole host of people.

Articles claiming she is the best leader in the world is infuriating, she is a walking economic disaster, and has fulfilled very few of her election promises.

It’s easy to look good when you spend other people’s money.

It’s election year and she’s pretty much just bought her second term by buying votes. I hope NZ sees through it and thinks critically.

I appreciate when an article pointing out the ridiculous double standards is written by a female. There are many logical women out there that understand how the cards are stacked for them.

chambertlo · 2020-04-20T20:46:58+00:00

Only a woman would say something so audacious and factually incorrect.

LogicIsGone80 · 2020-04-20T20:59:19+00:00

No just anyone calm and rational. Logic should be in there too.

H0boHumpinSloboBabe · 2020-04-21T05:55:22+00:00

I guess none of these writer ever read how Margret Thatcher was w/ the Irish. Yeah a ton of love an compassion there...

point5_ · 2020-04-21T03:05:07+00:00

America is run by trump, America is doing bad. Germany is run by Merkel, Germany is doing good.

Therefore women>men

Jacinda Ardern did a disgusting job. New Zealand is an isolated nation in the South Pacific. It has no land borders with any other countries. The entire country was locked down because the Government could not control the borders. The whole country has a lockdown that never should have happend as it could have been easily stopped at the border. For people in New Zealand it should have remained Business as usual. If anyone thinks Jacinda Ardern did a good job then they are stupid. She closed the border with China but not With other countries that were also vectors for contagion. Now the whole country is in lockdown and a few people have died And that could have been 100% avoidable. So what if a few other leaders did far worse. She still did not do a good job.

rabel111 · 2020-04-21T02:16:43+00:00

I've also heard that people with red hair have superior multitasking abilities in combination with creative thinking, making them the only right choice for leadership roles in government. Damn.

falsekoala · 2020-04-21T02:57:48+00:00

I would say smarter people have handled it better. Doesn’t have anything to do with gender, per say.

DoubleDollars69 · 2020-04-21T22:34:22+00:00

I still don't understand how they claimed Germany to be doing well. I mean its leading yes, but in terms of number of cases.

jahsehonfroyv1 · 2020-04-23T09:50:25+00:00

Newzealander here, she's a terrible prime minister

greypiano · 2020-04-21T11:38:52+00:00

For all the talk about Angela Merkel doing an amazing job, Germany is No. 5 in the worldwide number of cases. Belgium has a woman prime minister and they are No. 12 in the world which is very high for a small country.

Vietnam has a man as its prime minister and it has only 268 cases in total, astonishing for a country bordering China. Sri Lanka has a man as its prime minister and has only 309 cases. India has a man as its prime minister and it has only 18,000 cases in a country of 1.3 billion people. We can go on and on.

Neveah_Hope_Dreams · 2020-04-20T23:04:37+00:00

My prime minister!

Yeah, she's great and is doing a great job. Thankful to have her. Don't those feminazi's freaking dare bring sex and women in this. Especially bringing in my leader to this argument!

MarsNirgal · 2020-04-21T01:12:41+00:00

I was expecting to find statistics.

beerhiker · 2020-04-21T05:11:40+00:00

Merkel seems pretty damn competent. I don't know much about her politics but I'd take her over Trump or English Tump any day.

Lupinfujiko · 2020-04-21T11:12:28+00:00

Guys, women are "rockstars"

I don't know what we'd do without these women!

And don't forget guys, a significant number of these evidence-loving rock stars are women.

Lol.

What a joke.

Eastuss · 2020-04-21T11:53:08+00:00

Women are taking a leading role in fighting this virus, but not because they are biologically predisposed to do so.

Yes they are biologically predisposed to do so, they literally die less from it. But that's only a perk when fighting it directly.

This article is having bad arguments. You could showcase the countries that did well with male leaders. There are probably other arguments showing that this is just the usual feminist media cherry-picking for sensationalism.

Naghen · 2020-04-20T21:23:19+00:00

Conte in Italy has more than 60% of public approval, historical record.

Imagine tomorrow goes out a stupid article like "The man in power in ruling as no one before".

Bah.

zeerust2000 · 2020-04-20T21:26:00+00:00

Jacinta Arden has done possibly the best in the world with dealing with COVID-19.

romulusnr · 2020-04-20T20:27:18+00:00

Or perhaps countries that are run by reason and science are more likely to think that women can be effective leaders just as men.

Edit: True colors come out in here too easily

Edit2: Motherfuckers are so blindingly insane in here that they cannot read a fucking sentence. Not my problem.
