> People in leadership roles are in general assertive irrespective of gender.

I'm not sure you got my point, but the point was that these traits are not determined by gender, and thus any claim that goes "<gender foo> is primed for <something>" is patently false and only reflects prejudice and bias.

Yes they are. All of these traits live on a bell curve. The mean and variance are different for men and women. That some women are are more assertive than some men in no way invalidates the claim that on average, men are more assertive.

Do you actually have a source to substantiate your belief, or is this something you feel is right just because?

[patrick451]

Where are your sources? It's a radical position to claim that there is no population level difference in psychology between men and women. My position is canonical and easily googled.
