Governance by the women folks

What if women folks are allowed to run the government in majority???   Am not trying to be a feminist but just trying to analyze the other side of a coin.  

This world I guess will be a better place if at all women folks are given the maximum chance to run the government and in all other male dominated fields. It is because women are more collaborative and bipartisan than men. We see that women build coalitions and reach consensus more quickly than men because they interrupt less, listen more, pay attention to nonverbal cues, tend to be less partisan, and use democratic leadership styles instead of the autocratic styles favored by many men.  

Women push for more policies meant to support women, children, social welfare, and national security. Women always try to push forward to get health-care improvised and also put their enforcement to sexual harassment prevention and adjudication rules.  

Women are significantly more likely than men to sponsor bills in areas of civil rights, health, and education. Men sponsor more bills in agriculture, energy, and macroeconomics.  

A higher share of female legislators correlates with less military spending and decreased use of force in foreign policy. The exception is when women are in executive positions, where they seem to be more hawkish, possibly to overcome stereotypes about women being weak.  

Women bring different skills and priorities to governance. Without significant numbers of women in power, though, their voices are not heard, nor are their issues prioritized, passed, and funded.  

Women folks have been trying their best to run the offices in larger numbers but sadly without much success and progress because of male dominance attitude. Men folks I think should continue to recruit more women to run for public offices so that the Government will eventually need their leadership style, because women's ability to collaborate and build coalitions is required to keep this world a better place.  

Now, to negate or supplement my reasoning is absolutely the reader’s rightful choice. I give you absolute liberty... go on.
