Misleading Article

From the article:  10 Crazy Myths About Women Men Actually Believe Let's see how many they get right or wrong: 1. Women Are Too Emotional To Be in Positions of Power This one is absolutely true. While there is the occasional outlier, the vast majority of women are not geared to be good leaders because they are too emotional. The ones that are the most under control still fall well short of the top 25% of men.  2. Women Always Want Children Again, there are some outliers, but this is also very true by and large.
