"Do you not know I am a woman? When I think I must speak." (As You Like It)

Washington Irving wrote that there is in every true woman's heart "a spark of heavenly fire, which lies dormant in the broad daylight of prosperity, but which kindles up and beams and blazes in the dark hour of adversity." I read this over several times and I have come to the same conclusion that Ashley Montagu came to in his book "The Natural Superiority of Women (1952)" ; that is women are the superior sex and there is no doubt about it. Male scholars have pointed to the larger male brain, skeleton height, and muscle mass as clear evidence of the male's superiority, as in the view "might makes right". However, in a shift that seeks to include the overall performance of the anatomy and physiology of male and female, Montagu believes women come out on top.

Women apparently have a more powerful immunological system, which affords them greater protection against and better recovery from starvation, fatigue, shock, and illness. Also, although a woman's brain may be smaller than a man's, it has more neurons and is more highly developed structurally and functionally, and it is capable of thinking more soundly and intuitively than the male brain, Montagu says. The end result is that women are more insightful and have greater stamina and longevity--or in other words, women stand the test of time. Irving got it right.

In spite of the book's provocative title, Montagu insists it is not his intention to inflate the status of one sex over the other, but rather to bring the sexes closer together. Montagu believes that if we are to achieve social equality, men must be convinced that women are superior, and the male values of physical dominance, acquisition of material goods, and aggression give way to humane attributes and abilities. Women, being the truly superior beings they are, will of course not brag about their biological superiority over men, but will treat them kindly and gently. (And I do hope that Rh+ reads this).

So, as a result of my research of women, I am leaning heavily towards Hillary.
