The continuous comparisons between men and women – a fashionable topic of our times – have kindled many discussions, analyses, and research on all aspects of life, frequently carrying a hefty emotional weight accumulated over centuries of misconceptions, unequal favouritism, and imbalanced co-existence. Despite our evolution and numerous paradigm-shifting events that have changed the structure of our societies, the topic remains controversial as we insist on our binary thinking – an "us" vs "them" modus vivendi – highlighting differences rather than similarities, and divergences instead of unity. Such an attitude is discernable in most modalities of everyday life. Yet, it becomes even more distinct when focusing on leadership positions, where the stakes are higher, competition fiercer, and an alleged consensus often remains a façade for political stratagems, safeguarding old norms under the pretext of disruption.
