The data does show that women led companies do better- but the fact that there are so few women who have to fight to make it to the top could mean that the women who get there are better- not that women in general do better.

I'm just wondering how the same statement (if the data would show it) would be perceived if it would be said for males.

Studies could also show that there is a higher chance for mothers to quit along half the way due to child-related reasons (made up studies for the sake of argument). That on the other hand would be considered misogny. And I'd take it with a grain of salt as the sample sizes are vastly different.

That being said, do you have a link somewhere? Would really be interested to read that.
