Regardless of party affiliation, congressional women deliver more federal projects to their home districts and sponsor and co-sponsor more legislation than their male colleagues. In a study recently published in The American Journal of Political Science, researchers from Stanford University and the Univ of Chicago attributed women's political success not to some innate political instinct but to the fact that it's really hard for us to get elected (there are currently 360 men and 75 women in the House; 83 men and 17 women in the Senate). They theorize that women feel immense pressure to measure up, so instead of meeting expectations, we surpass them.

Woman have the power to reassure. Participants in a 2010 study who were tapped on the shoulder by a female researcher invested significantly more money in a wager than those patted by a man, leading researchers to theorize that contact with a woman triggered a confidence boost similar to the one they received as children from their mother's touch.

... and death is a woman
in Neil Gaiman's cult-hit comic book series, The Sandman, Death was a hip young woman who would spend a day every century living and dying as a mortal to understand the value of human life. While there's no proof that woman are kinder than men, this version of Death is certainly more empathetic than the scythe-wielding Grim Reaper.
i'm NOT just sayin' we're better - or even stronger - than our male counterparts, but we do have certain advantages!
