IMO, women should only have leadership in the home: cooking, cleaning, gardening, raising children, doing handiwork. Leadership over men? No. If she did those things that come naturally to her she would not have time to work outside the home. Proverbs 31 woman comes to mind.
Most men have a natural gift towards leadership. The rare woman like Deborah in the Bible or Margaret Thatcher who earned the trust of the people are such exceptions. Most women are not cut out to lead, including Sarah Palin.
I agree with you.
I also contend that Mrs. Thatcher did not succeed based on her female nature and characteristics, but because she mimicked qualities usually found more readily in male leaders.
