Women are typically far more perceptive and empathetic to peoples' true emotions and feelings than men are. If I'm not mistaken, there are actually a number of studies that show that women are more capable of detecting a liar than men as well. These traits would, of course, prove helpful in a COIN environment where human intelligence is so critical.
My question is whether or not being in Muslim nations places women at a disadvantage (the article seems to think not).
