Actually, these statements are not scientifically provable. It's important for us to separate FACT from IDEOLOGY.
The idea that men are more logical and women are more emotional is false. The truth is that most humans are very emotional and make a lot of decisions based on their feelings and impulses. Women are more emotionally EXPRESSIVE in western society (in some ways--not with anger or sexual interest usually) because we are *acculturated* to be that way. This means that society says it's okay for us to say, cry in public, warmly embrace people of any gender, freely speak about our current emotional state, etc. Society, however disallows this for men. Our society tends only to approve of anger and sexual interest as acceptable expressions of emotions for men. They can freely yell, curse, etc., and they can freely discuss their sexual drives. However, they can't cry (unless someone has died..and then it probably should be a few silent "thug tears"), they can't freely embrace other men (fistbumps all around), etc. Emotional expression is a MINEFIELD for western men. Nearly everything is perceived as WEAKNESS. Even too much enthusiasm for something can be seen as impugning his manhood. This gives some people the impression that men are less emotional. However, men are very emotional creatures given to making decisions based on these emotions. (There's a reason why 85% of violent offenders are men...and it's not because they were thinking *logically*). I also think it is insulting to imply that women are more "caring" than men are. While society may imply that a man is weak if he EXPRESSES too much emotion, the capacity to feel deep emotion exists in both genders.
As for LOGICAL THINKING, this is largely a skill set. You can train a person to think logically. You can train a person to make decisions based on logic. There is nothing about it that is inherently greater in one gender or another. Some may have a greater capacity for logical thought based on their IQ, their willingness to engage in thought experiments, etc., however, a person of average intelligence can exercise their brain to engage with logic.
As an aside, I hate this kind of emotion/logic bologna. Not only is it not true, but it gives everyone a license to kiss the butt of culture instead of being like Jesus. Women can claim their emotional outbursts are simply "because I'm a woman" and feel no need to engage with self-control, and men can claim their lack of expression is "because I'm a man" and feel no compunction to meet the emotional needs of their wives and children. The reality is that the bible calls us ALL to lovingly sacrifice for the sake of others. This means I might need to suck it up and not give into my emotions in order to focus on someone else, or it might mean that I need to open up and share my emotions to create a connection. Emotional regulation applies to both genders and it is part of the Fruit of the Spirit generally referenced as "self-control."
Additionally, "leadership" (whatever that means...it's not like it's a well-defined term) is not limited to gender. There are plenty of women that are natural leaders...and plenty of men that are natural followers. If you run the numbers, sheer statistics will dictate that MOST people are followers and not leaders. The idea of leadership as being inherently male is again based on acculturation.
There is no scientific evidence that men are more logical than women. There is some evidence that men are more visual-spatial (i.e. map reading). There is no evidence that women are more emotional than men. There is lots of evidence that societies train us on what is appropriate and inappropriate emotional expression. There is no evidence that men are inherent "leaders" and women are inherent "followers." There is lots of evidence that historically men were given access to things that allowed them to emerge as leaders. (There's also, btw, historical evidence of women who would reject society and be leaders anyway).
