Women can multi-task. Which means that they can perform multiple activities at once. This is a major benefit. For example, you are working in the fashion industry. Your boss asks you to make copies of a design, get him some coffee, and bring back samples of different materials. Another example is:

30 year old Tabatha says:

"I cant speak for everyone but my husband can only listen to 1 thing at a time. I can listen to someone on the phone and listen to what someone is saying to me to tell the other person on the phone. I can hear both and can always repeat it if someone asks. This drives my husband up the wall then cause when I do that he says what did I say then? I can tell him and when he is listening to some1 else and listening to me he says soz I can only hear 1 thing at once. 

My husband cant even listen to the tv and have a conversation at the same time which I think is weird. He has to have 1 or the other. I can easily talk, listen and watch tv."

Studies show that about 50% of woman can multi-task VS. 25% of men. This proves my point.

Having women in more positions in power would be the best thing to happen to the U.S.A. Women take on more responsibility than men. (Kids for example.) About 65% of women, with kids, are left by themselves to take came for them. This shows that women are the ones who pickup diapers, pay for tuition (if required), buy clothes and make sure the child is in a good and healthy environment. Mean while, the father is probably no where to find. The women would be able to juggle health issues, world issues and money issues which would make the world a better place. 

A.R.E

Assertion:

Women are better fit for the government and CEO jobs because they are naturally multi talented and smart. 

Reasoning:

Women are compassionate, and smart. They also care for the people around them and they don't react on first instincts, like some men do. Also because some women have kids they know how to compromise and make sure everyone is happy, as well as balance a job and the house, so women are naturally multi  talented. Also some women have to deal with their kids, their jobs, their house , and some have to deal with their problems concerning their relationship, or their outside family. So if they can deal with al that and still support their family their is no way they can't handle working in the government or in big businesses. Another reason women are better for the government and CEO jobs, is because they have kids and are so compassionate they look after their kids and make sure there alright before they let them go ahead and do something and they will also do that if they have  CEO job, there going to make sure the desicion they make is good before they go ahead with it

“Women are not ready [to be top executives].”

“Men choose men [for leadership positions].”

“Women cannot handle the pressure [of leadership coupled] with the private sphere.”

“The rise of ‘female-friendly behaviour’ [i.e., quotas] means concessions to quality.”

“In selecting the really senior executives, the rules are different.  And those [rules] are rarely public.”

“Female directors…have negative experiences with other women at the top.”

A recent study in Kenya estimates that adolescent pregnancy alone costs the economy US $500 million per year, while investing in girls would potentially add US $3.2 billion to the economy.
