Perhaps countries that traditionally value males more than females have more female politicians because they are more "family oriented", and see female leaders as "mothers of the country"? Since women are the leaders of the household in these cultures, perhaps they see the country itself as a large home, and the women politicians as the "Moms". Since Mom knows what's best for the home, then perhaps female politicians would know what's best for the country? I don't know, just a thought.
