Women are less likely to be disagreeable and worse at dealing with disagreeableness and this is one reason why the increased inclusion of women in the higher strata of our institutions (academia, the church, etc) is causing these institutions to suffer.
Men are better at getting up from the table after a heated debate, shaking hands, and moving on with their day without taking the disagreement personally. Itโs the rare woman who can do this, I think.
An oft repeated point of late, but worth repeating:
If your criteria for student enrichment is โwill this seminar hurt peoples feelingsโ youโll ensure the most sensitive students get positions of influence while the disagreeable ones (so needed!) will be shut out of discourse.

Major advancements have always been made by people discussing ideas that bothered them with people that bothered them. Men are better at this in general.
Some women are great at this, of course, but those women are rare.

Bottom line I guess:
A hovering Mommy is very bad for the healthy development of grown up people and grown up institutions.

Good food for thought, as is often the case from this account:
Does she think this response will convince me women are actually better at dealing with disagreement than men? Lol
