“There'd been studies over the years supporting the proposition that groups composed exclusively of women usually made intelligent decisions, that exclusively male groups did a bit less well, and that mixed groups did most poorly of all, by a substantial margin.

There were roles and there were rules.” Would BeMotherBitsWomenDecisionRolesGenerationsConditions Book:Living Out Loud Source: Living Out Loud
