Women have a unique ability to balance logic w/ empathy. That makes women BETTER leaders.

Look at the progress being made in Mexico 🇲🇽 under Claudia. How Italy’s PM held her ground. Michelle Obama.

It’s clear as day. We need more women leaders on the world stage!

This young man, fire!

The ability to balance logic with empathy isn't just available to women. Yes women through our cultural teachings tend towards that, but I think it is also often present in others who have either faced discrimination or trauma. Biden and Obama were great at it for example.

I don't think anyone should be describing a formerly overt fascist, now "just" nationalist anti-gay anti-immigrant far right leader like Giorgia Meloni in such a positive light as to compare her with Michelle Obama and Claudia Sheinbaum. Yeah she didn't knuckle under to Trump, but they still share a lot of the same horrible values.
