Are women more ethical than men?

Interesting column from the Twin Cities Pioneer Press: When columnist Dave Beal told the mostly female audience at the annual awards gala of the National Association of Women Business Owners' Minnesota chapter that "It's worth noting that generally, it's not the women who are showing up in the headlines and pictures of perp walks to and from the courtroom or the jail — it's the guys. 'More than ever, women have been emerging as leaders in matters of business ethics and values.'

"The group's cheers stunned me. Never in the course of scores of speaking engagements over the years have I managed to stir such a reaction."

What made them stand up and cheer? It’s not about male bashing or female moral superiority, he concludes, seeing as women slightly outnumber men on FBI stats on recent embezzlement charges. It’s all about values, he says. Anyway, it’s an interesting read on yet another rainy Monday morning.
