Males More Intelli-Gent?

http://www.newsweek.com/id/101079
This article from newsweek is worth taking in, as it helps lay some of the dust around leadership and teaching issues between men and women. Pappi's position is that if people are properly focussed, they are more concerned with receiving the best wisdom wherever it comes from, than trying to work out whether they are cleverer or dumber than the source.

Men being generally more dominant than women due to issues of body size, depth of voice, physical strength and hormonal conditioning, have a natural advantage in calling the shots. They should therefore be particularly sensitive to their tendency to overshadow the wisdom and valid point of view of the women. Strength should be used to nurture others, not to oppress and silence them!
