All great, all strong women. Women can be great leaders, same as some men. Women do have more empathy and can suffer in effectiveness as a result. Send good honorable men to their certain death is a horrible decision that I would find extremely difficult. I would make that choice for myself, but would not make that choice for others. That is why I am not a great leader. There are women that can do it and have. Thinking all women are shrinking violets is as bad as many other stereotypical generalizations. I have met some badass warriors that were women and they'd stab, shoot or break your neck just as soon as the male counterparts. Hard women are scarier than their male counterparts because they are rarer and almost seem psychopathic.
