I think that a woman can be a strong leader but the man will be a better leader for any case. That's why they gave the throne to Ann's brother.He can rule better than she can.
A woman doesn't know a lot of things about war!She might know ways and tricks but she definately won't stay and fight till the end cause she will die there are warriors that are way bigger and stronger than her.But a man will stay and fight because a man is all ways stronger than a woman!
When a man emperor hears that in a country they have a woman empress well he will think is more easy to win and take the country.That affects the country because it will have many wars and it will get destroyed in the end.
A woman gets easy involved into things that might not end good. There are not many men that get involved into tricks.I don't say that men are smarter or that they don't get involved to tricks! They can get but not so easy.
That's my opinion!I think that women are strong and brave enough but they cant reach the strength of a man without really hardworking!So i think men are better than women for the throne!
