Talk:Sex differences in leadership

Left wing bias alert
This piece is not talk about sex differences in leadership, it is just a stereo typical one-sided “gender studies” hit piece on masculinity. It doesn’t even mention male leadership attributes, which because they are authoritative (agentic) and not communal, are actually considered more effective by employees over communal leadership traits, at least as primary leadership traits. Masculity is more confident, authoritative, assertive, competitive, independent and courageous and that is actually why men make on on average, generally speaking, better managers than women.

I am not an academian but anyone in academia who is not an ideologue and can see the extreme bias in this article should correct it to be more balanced. Beriboe (talk) 18:15, 10 March 2019 (UTC)

The Title
The title, Sex differences in leadership is, at first glance, about sex, which has a word count of 16. The word count for gender = 26. Why this discrepancy? If the contributors writing about gender are not aware that sex and gender are two entirely different matters, don't they feel they are, a priori, quite unqualified to be contributors?--Damorbel (talk) 16:12, 2 July 2020 (UTC)


 * Great comment. Because leadership is a social construct, and most studies about sex/gender and leadership focus on gender, it makes more sense to me to re-title this article "Gender differences in leadership" or at least Gender and Sex differences in Leadership. Research on the extent to which sex differences (biological) affect leadership could go in a sub-section. I'm happy to work on this aspect but will wait to see if there are comments about the title change I propose.  I do note that this is in a Series of articles on sex differences in humans ... so maybe a title that includes Sex and Gender is good, even if the predominance of research regards the latter (which I am pretty sure it does).
