Think of it, she was only a good leader in that she mimicked male and male leadership traits.

That's where we differ. I think all qualities are part of human nature, accessible equally to men and women, depending on their personal abilities, and enacted in their cultural circumstances.

I reject the premise that all positive qualities are masculine and all negative qualities are feminine.
