Gender Equality and Innovation

I heard the global poverty project talk by Bobby Bailey.
He mentioned that one of the ways to mitigate absolute poverty is by empowering women, giving more rights and opportunities to women, as men are really dominating in the society and women are not treated equally at all.

Gender equality and Innovation.
Male-dominant society will only create skewed perspective. Females have different chain of thought as they have experienced different social lives entirely and they also have different physiological differences(males typically have heavier brain mass, they don't have hormonal cycles and male brains have less corpus callosum). Innovation takes place at the edge of different fields. If both male and female individuals cooperated to create innovation, it would create much more innovative ideas, compared a group which is dominated by one gender alone. It makes sense naturally to innovate by involving different genders as well.
