I dont think having more women will stop the gov from being dumbasses.
Choices in the US gov [if i'm right, i'm not sure] are made by senate or president yes? and the president half the time has to do as the senate says or it'll cost him/her right? So for an example we have more women in the senate for this theory. However, anyone in the senate will face being bribed by multitudes of big name companies trynna get themselves more money. So in effect, it's companies making hte decisions for the lot of teh citizens [a bit cynical and dramatic but it's to make a point]
So until someone comes up with a study that says women in general are less sucseptible to bribes, corruption and whatnot, it's still an individual thing where either they're a good guy/gal or bad.
Of course on another note i believe that women are perfectly capable of doing a good job or better job in the gov than men but the underrepresentation reflects the fact that conservative attitudes are still strong and women are still expected to move aside for men when it comes to the top positions.So it's really a societal thing rather than a voting thing.
