Re: I don't really know where to put this
I found this interesting the other day.
Nine out of 10 people found to be biased against women
So women are almost as biased against Women as men are then. 
Does this mean the other half think women are superior political leaders? If so that makes it a 50/50 feeling.
60% think they don't?
Obviously there could be some "don't knows" within the 60% but without knowing the % how can one comment on the 40%? It may be completely in line with those believing women make better executives.
Surely this should have been the headline shouldn't it?
Nine out of 10 people found to be biased against women
Almost 90% of people are biased against women, according to a new index that highlights the “shocking” extent of the global backlash towards gender equality....91% of men and 86% of women hold at least one bias against women in relation to politics, economics, education, violence or reproductive rights.
It found that almost half of people feel men are superior political leaders
and more than 40% believe men make better business executives.
Obviously there could be some "don't knows" within the 60% but without knowing the % how can one comment on the 40%? It may be completely in line with those believing women make better executives.
Almost a third of men and women think it’s acceptable for a man to beat his wife.

I've rarely beaten her in an argument as our couch is too short

Men are way nicer to each other than women are. It is unreal.
