“I used to think all that stuff about women being more emotionally intelligent than men was just something people said—the way we'd say men are worse at being sick. But as I've gotten older, I've realized that we have a lot more insight into what we're experiencing. Women are so much better at dealing with challenging, complicated situations because conflict is about emotions. And it does start to feel like a superpower. In my experience, emotional intelligence is one of the only things that really matters.”
