http://www.forbes.com/sites/deniser...-that-female-senators-get-more-done-than-men/ Stats says women get more done on the hill. Why do u think it is so? What does this mean to u?
1) Over the last seven years, the average female senator cosponsored 6.29 bills with another female senator, whereas the average male senator cosponsored 4.07 bills with his average male peer. 2) Female senators in recent years have demonstrated more bipartisanship with other women than their male counterparts. The average female senator has cosponsored 3.79 bills with a female senator of the opposite party since the 111th congress, while the average male senator only cosponsored 2.16 bills with a male senator of the opposite party. In addition, the average female senator cosponsored 171.08 bills sponsored by a member of the opposite party while the average male senator sponsored 129.87 bills with a sponsor from across the aisle. 3) Women in the Senate traditionally meet for*periodic dinners, and all 20 women in the 113th Senate—16 Democrats and 4 Republicans—joined President Obama for*dinner*in the White House last year. Commentators have in part*attributed*this clear bipartisan effort in which women in the Senate can form personal relationships to the willingness of women to work on legislation with each other, and this data proves this to be the case. 4) Senators are more active legislatively and build more support for their bills. The average female senator introduced 96.31 bills over the last seven years while their average male senator only introduced 70.72 bills. Bills introduced by female senators received an average of 9.10 cosponsors while the average bills introduced by a male senator received only 5.94 cosponsors. 5) This legislative effort has generated positive results for female senators, who moved an average of 4.88 bills out of committee and had on average 2.31 bills enacted in the past seven years compared to the 3.24 bills their male counterparts got out of committee and 1.57 bills enacted
