I think a lot of women just aren’t comfortable wearing the ‘costume’ of power; it never becomes natural.
There are probably lots of reasons for that, and not only ‘nurture’. Women are different from men; but there are also many different types of women, and I’m sure many don’t have this issue; but for others, the possession of worldly power and authority just aren’t things they particularly like or want, deep down; and don’t adjust to.
In other cases, they may not have the competence required, and develop unpleasant tactics to cover for incompetence.
We see that in men as well as women...

Dunno...you’d have to ask Maggie Thatcher or Golda Meir about that.
