Iconoclastic, are you a Hillary supporter? :)
Human history has had exceptionally strong female leaders: Margaret Thatcher, Queen Elizabeth 1, Angela Merkel (although she's been battered of late) and Paris Hilton.
There are fundamental differences between the sexes regarding power though:
Here's a very crude proverb: Men rise to power to have sex, women have sex to rise to power.
This saying is politically incorrect but demonstrates how the 2 sexes fundamentally differ regarding their objectives and inherent value. Men have no inherent value and have to earn their power and therefore the right to reproduce. The reason for this is simple: a single male can fertilize many females, therefore only one is actually needed.
