> We've been told the world will be generally a better place if we only manage to get more women into management positions.
Which is probably true. Not magically because they’re women, but because they’re different from the status quo. Having people of different genders, races, backgrounds, life experiences in positions of power increases the pool of knowledge and understanding of the world and allows solutions to problems which the other groups are blind to. Diversity is the goal, not just specifically women.
> They are supposedly the better humans, and would never engage in manipulative tactics...
That is an argument no one is making. You’re attacking a straw man. Of course women can be bad leaders too. Anyone can.
> So whatever she is doing, it must be good and in good faith.
As opposed to your argument, I’d say. Using one single specific example from one single specific person on one single specific case to “counter” a general thought that doesn’t even correspond to what you claimed is disingenuous.
