Tuesday the Danes elected 86 female members to the Parliament, the Folketinget. This means Denmark is now led by 48 percent women.
I too voted for a woman. Not because she was a woman, but because she was the most qualified.
In general, there has been far fewer political scandals with women over the years, and it has been my impression that more women are well prepared, they are more hard working, while some men are more focused on press coverage and social media visibility.

I wonder how much of this is because of upbringing and group pressure from early age? I doubt we as a specie are that different between sexes by nature...
Women are more empathic in general, yes, and that is a biological thing:

However, while that empathy may reduce the risk of partaking in corrupt procedures initially, a longer career in politics seems to eradicate that difference over time:

In a way I get it. Politics is the art of giving and taking, so you need to be good at negotiating and offering benefits for cooperation, and taken to the extreme, that can become downright corrupt.
That being said, we generally have very, very low levels of corruption in Denmark, and it is socially unacceptable to enter into corrupt arrangements. We REALLY don't like it.
