Ships Run By Women Sink

I’ve come to conclude that men are good at cooperative enterprise. A group of men — three, ten, fifty, a hundred, a hundred thousand — organize themselves into a productive team of some sort. Some of the things they achieve are amazing.

And then we have women. A ship with too many women tends to sink, in good weather.

“New Zealand ship didn’t sink because its captain was a woman” riiiight.

“Norwegian warship accident raises questions on women in armed forces.”

Raises answers is more like it.

I think women are naturally suited for one-on-one leadership, with a man. Basically, a husband and wife, or a father and daughter. As soon as you get multiple women in a room, things tend to fall apart. This is especially true if the leader of such a group is also a woman.

In other words, Matriarchy Does Not Exist.

I think there are exceptional women who can discipline themselves to perform what is normally thought of as a man’s job, and do it well. There are a few Margaret Thatchers, although I can’t name a single one except for Maggie herself.

But, as soon as you have two or more women, and especially if you have five or six, the Law of Averages tends to take hold.
