If women actually are better managers, the market will bear this out and most managerial positions will be female. This would support their theory. If the market dictates that most managers are male then that would support their OTHER theory...that there is rampant sexism.

There's a book called The Stronger Sex (I think you can track it down on Amazon.com) which quotes research finding that people prefer male managers. The reason is because they're cooler and take things less personally. From my own experience, this is probably the case.
I've also read that the best managers are those who combine masculine and feminine qualities. I always think of my boss as such an example. He's a kind and considerate person, but he's also able to be laid-back and casual in a way that you just don't see in women. He can blow in out of nowhere, fix a problem, and then go out and play golf without a hair out of place. Sure, some people complain about him. They're usually women.
I also know of another male manager in a different department who is the personification of evil. I think men, as usual, are probably represented on both ends of the scale.
Ultimately, I think good men and good women make good managers. While this article sings the praises of good female managers, it conveniently leaves out the shadow feminine qualities which can make a female manager a horror unlike a male manager would be.

Well, I guess that's why there are so many successful female startups and so many self-made female millionaires, and so many women reknowned for their inspirational speaking.
Oh, yeah. That's right. There aren't. Darn that old proof in real application in the real world again, eh?
Well, we'll just ignore that, anyway, since it doesn't go along with politically correct current wisdom and reality revisionism, shall we?
Phfbt. What a load of hooey. Geez, and this witch actually gets paid for spouting nonsense?

Some years back now a friend of mine showed up for work with a bumper sticker that said, "The best man for the job is a woman." He was driving his wife's car. A couple of months later he told me that the car had lost the engine, because his wife never bothered checking the oil. Oh, I said, I guess you need a little addendum to that bumper sticker: "The best man for the job is a woman, unless driving a car or thinking."
"I'd laugh," he replied, "but I'm too busy crying." I guess that's still a pretty good response for mindless, feminist twits who basely make those kind of assertions.
