Article here. Excerpt:

'A new study from Virginia Commonwealth University researcher Jatia Wrighten, Ph.D., and colleagues finds that women are more effective lawmakers than men when serving in professional state legislatures, which are generally in session full-time, than when serving in part-time legislatures that have lower barriers to entry, lower salaries and fewer staff.'

In today's academic world a "study" like this has a foregone conclusion: OF COURSE *women* are _soooo much better_ than men at, what else, making laws (that work against men's interests), and otherwise going around and telling people what to do.

You'd be crazy NOT to see it!
