I do not recieve this.

So apparently researchers at Stanford University and the University of Chicago have proposed that women make better lawmakers. However, if you think about some of the reasons they propose as arguments, you may conclude that the late C.S. Lewis was correct in the assertion that logic, one of the classical foundations of education, has been discarded from education.

1) More bills = better
Come on, and bigger is better, too? Ask anywoman that. Actually, less is more, especially considering the Law of Unintended Consequences. More on that later.

2)More co-sponsors = better.
Women also go to the bathroom in groups, do they empty their bladders in a superior fashion as well?

3) More money sent to home districts = better.
Are we not having run away deficits? (here and here) Don't we need to cut back on spending? Does this imply that women are better at playing the system?
