Since everything seems possible, I suggest that Michelle will enter the fray as a block to Hillary, if a Dem frontrunner doesn&#039;t emerge.
I&#039;m assuming Michelle hates Hillary enough to run and give Barack a third term.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Tom Gray: You are completely right about different bell curves for men and women in every measurable trait. What it means in practice is that at the right tail of these distributions the number of men is significantly bigger that the number of women, and the farther to the right you look, the bigger the difference is. There were, for example, just 3 female mathematicians with contributions comparable to thouse of about 150 male matematicians, and the same for Nobel Prize laureats: male/female ratio about 50. So when you need an extraordinary talent the chances to find one among men are dozens times higher than among women.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Here&#039;s an interesting set of studies on the existence and importance of sex differences in personality.  

https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0029265

It is argued that previous personality-measurement comparison used variables that were too aggregated:  for example, the metric for Extraversion encompassed both warmth/affiliation (higher for females) and dominance/venturesomeness (higher for males), so the average Extraversion scores for males/females show more similarity than you get if you disaggregate into the two components.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[&lt;i&gt;Rarely does he have anything useful or insightful to say, being a cultural Marxist, &lt;/i&gt;

He isn&#039;t. While we&#039;re at it &#039;cultural Marxist&#039; is a nonsense term.


&lt;i&gt;obsessed with anti-colonialism,&lt;/i&gt;

No indication of that either.


&lt;i&gt; mentored and raised by stridently anti-American Communists, &lt;/i&gt;

That&#039;s a cack-handed description of his mother and bears no resemblance at all to his step-father or his maternal-side grandparents.  



&lt;i&gt;who has never earned an honest dollar in his life.&lt;/i&gt;

That&#039;s not true, either.  He was a slouchy underperformer, but law firm associates and copy editors provide real services people buy willingly on the open market.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[For every trait, good or bad, physical, mental, emotional, there is a way to quantify it. Lying, telling the truth, playing chess, leading, height.
For some, like height &#038; IQ, there are accepted ways of measuring, which can then be compared.  In theory, all could be measured, including Agreeableness (one of the Big 5 personality types Jordan Peterson talks about).

For every trait, a curve can be plotted with a y axis (up from 0) showing the number of human individuals with and x axis of a specific number in the range of numbers.   IQ is an &quot;Intelligence Quotient&quot; number, with an average of 100.  It produces a Bell Curve.  If men (XY folk) are on a different graph than women (XX folk), the two curves will look a bit different.  The women&#039;s curve will be higher in the middle around 100, and less around the low tail of 60, and less around the high tail of 150 (start of genius).

For any individual, they could be in the range of less than 60 thru to greater than 150, but the vast majority will be between those numbers.  SAT scores are similar, with a Math and a Verbal (reading &#038; writing, now), with a max score of 800 for each. It has so far been the case that more men score an 800 math SAT score than women.  Larry Summers was fired by Harvard for mentioning this fact.

For any trait, individual differences are greater than the avg differences between men and women, or the avg differences between races, or ethnicities, or religions.

People should judge each other as individuals.

However, a free market economy allows customers to determine, thru their democratic choices of buying under budget constraints, which companies are more successfully satisfying the buying public&#039;s desires at the current time.  There are huge numbers of small companies of 10 or fewer employees.  About as many seem to be run by women as by men.  Above 100 up to 1000, the vast majority are run by men, and are companies which grew while being run by men.  Far fewer companies over 10,000 employees, few of which were built by the current top CEOs &#038; managers,  but in the top Fortune 500 of companies, 33 are now run by female CEOs, about 6.6%

They might be the best CEOs; they might be the worst; they might be closer to avg.  There&#039;s NO evidence that female CEOs, in general, run companies better. There&#039;s some recent studies giving evidence that more women on the Board of Directors means lower shareholder returns.  IF women were better CEOs, that would mean owners hiring men instead of women are failing to earn money.  That seems quite unlikely.

I supported Carly Fiorina in 2016; and even before in CA Senate elections.  She was a CEO of HP, and guided their merger/takeover of Compaq.  This was a good decision, altho some Big shareholder children of founders Hewlett &#038; Packard were against it.  She promised good to great results; got avg results and was fired in 2005.  Because Dell was doing so great.  IBM at that time sold its PC business to Lenovo.

&lt;i&gt;Fiorina said her experience in both the private sector and politics give her qualifications others don’t have. “I understand executive decision making, which is making a tough call in a tough time, for which you are prepared to be held accountable,” she said. “(This is) something that at least Hillary Clinton doesn&#039;t have a track record of.”&lt;/i&gt;
https://www.nbcnews.com/meet-the-press/why-was-carly-fiorina-fired-n356731 

Judging individuals as members of a group, first, is a little inevitable - you don&#039;t know about them as individuals yet, just as a person of the male or female group; of some white, black, or other race; as American or other citizen.  But one should be judging everybody as &quot;good until specific suspicion of them being bad&quot;.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[&lt;i&gt; he believed this then why did he get in HIllary’s way in 2008? Would the country have been better off with her as president?&lt;/i&gt;

If Obama says &quot;men are taller than women&quot;, does that mean he is saying he is taller than Sun Fang (7&#039; 3&quot;)?  Or is he making a statement about averages?

It&#039;s not inconsistent at all for Obama to say &quot;women make better leaders&quot; and at the same time consider himself a better leader than Hillary Clinton.

Probably nearly 100% of Americans of any political stripe would agree that he was (and is). Not necessarily a compliment though. :)]]></description>
