"Women should know better" is a consistent theme throughout history.
Mothers are the parent most often blamed for their children's misbehavior.
Women are blamed for their husband's ill behavior.
Even when women are harmed by others, they are blamed for their harm.
And while everyone carries this knowledge in their head conciously or unconciously,
this belief that women should know better,
the part never uttered but implied, is that women should know better THAN MEN.
So is everyone on the same page that men are a lesser gender, too
Dull to equally know as much as women?
We should not be coy about vocalizing the complete sentence, if we are expectant of women to somehow be more superior in knowledge compared to men.
Are we acknowledging that women are superior in intellect, quicker to grasp information,
More likely to perform effectively, and act with strategy and not impulse?
Are we acknowledging that men are poor at processing information, lack the ability to strategize, lack self control control and are generally poor at making appropriate decisions effectively?
If we are going to dump more responsibility on the heads of women, then we cannot be silent about why we are doing so.
We are all aware that in an organizational structure, the person everyone relies on, and is expected to perform more effectively than others, is the team leader.
