Obama: Women 'pretty indisputably' better leaders than men

Former President Obama said at a recent event that he believes women are “indisputably better” leaders than men and confidently predicted that people would see a global improvement if every nation was led by a woman.

According to the BBC, he made the remarks at a leadership event in Singapore during his and former first lady Michelle Obama’s visit to the region last week.

At the event, the former president reportedly said: "Now women, I just want you to know; you are not perfect, but what I can say pretty indisputably is that you're better than us [men].

"I'm absolutely confident that for two years if every nation on earth was run by women, you would see a significant improvement across the board on just about everything... living standards and outcomes,” he continued.

Please continue, Prez.

Of course, women can be just as nasty, hateful, and self-centered as men, but if every nation were ruled for two years by a woman, it would require dumping the current crop of men which includes some very, very vicious people. That alone would improve things in current dictatorships, without even considering gender. By the time you consider gender-specific statistics, you can easily predict "a significant improvement across the board on just about everything".

TrumPutin and the dictators he fawns over are all misogynistic, so Obama's comments will make them seethe even as they dismiss or ignore the talk.

Troll on, sir.
