What is the total percentage of all female judges worldwide?

I don’t understand why you would even need to make a presentation stating that women are capable of being judges. The argument against is so patently untrue that it is ridiculous. You might as well be presenting a paper stating that witches need not be burned at the stake, or people of a different race should not be kept as slaves.

@syz Well I’m doing this presentation because we have to do a so-called “argument” presentation thus we have to pick a topic then state of you are pro or con about the topic and then we have to make arguments about why we are pro or con.

Well I can tell you it’s 87% in Holland ;)

I have no statistical evidence either way, nor any scientific proof that women might be good or bad judges. As I have said, my own experience is that they are horrible judges. But I have admitted that it could be a coincidence. The next judge I’m facing is also a woman, let’s see if she’s an exception to the rule so far.

The only thing that might help you however is this: overall, girls have been entering university (and therefore law schools) at an increasing rate over the past few decades. This trend is evident in every single country, and has to do with boys generally studying less at high school (some say too many distractions) as well as the access to education that has been offered to girls in societies that used to be more traditional (even when girls were allowed to study, parents often found it unnecessary and pushed their daughters towards early marriage).
On top of that, women who actually finish law school now have proper careers. My mother (40 years ago) quit law school to help my dad at his own business. Yes, she ended up being a successful businesswoman, but she never became a lawyer (or a judge obviously). Nowadays women follow the paths all the way through, and given that there are an increasing number of graduates in most western countries, it is only a matter of time before almost all judges worldwide are female. I think this might help as background information.

Oh and women should not be judges because periods make them instable (don’t blame me, it’s a US Supreme court ruling :P)

So do you think women are really unqualified to be judges or is it your assignment to take that stance?

@xTheDreamer as i am female I do not think women are unqualified to be judges.

Ugh i meant to reply to @The_Compassionate_Heretic with as i am female I do not think women are unqualified to be judges. hah

It sounds as though you were judged by a woman and found wanting. You cup of bitterness seem to be overflowing.

Gyus, the OP says “it is to back me up on the my presentation that women are capable of being a judge”. His stance is against the proposition.

Anyway, I do not think you need an exact percentage of women judges. Women judges exist in numbers enough that are not explained by a freak accident. Hence, relative numbers to men only speak about the society in which the women live, not about their inherent capabilities.

female sence.

@Jack79 @Janka thanks(:
