Open possibilities?
A woman's tendency toward acceptance of leadership can make her an ideal candidate for sainthood, while a man will often achieve sainthood only by valiant struggles against himself.
Does that include Joan of Arc? From what I remember from 7th Grade history, she did just the opposite of submitting to society's standards.
From a protestant perspective,I can kind of see where you're getting at. However, even Christian authors (for example, John Eldrige in 'Wild at Heart') assert that both men and women can be fierce at times.

Alright, I see where you're coming from. However, Peter would've happily taken on the world for Jeshuah given the chance--I personally admire his courage for slashing at a Roman soldier when they came for his savior.

IQ Tests and relevance to leadership
Larni writes:
IQ tests measure IQ (however you define it). That means jack shit in real life.

Hey, you won't hear me complaining.
I think what Larni was trying to explain was that men scoring higher on IQ tests doesn't really say much about leadership.
From what I understand, even today some companies make applicants take IQ tests and hire according to their scores. What needs to be considered in this example is that the language questions of any standardized tests are culturally biased without failure. Thus, somebody's alledged IQ level really only highlights their test taking skills as opposed to their leadership capacity.
