Isn't the USA an extremely sexist country? Isn't the reaction against Hillary Clintion basically sexist?

Question

Many countries throughout the world have had female heads of state. Even in some muslim countries, females have become active in potlics as well as being more highly educated than in the USA. It seems the US is still back in its convservative victorian roots when all the conservatives left Europe because it was too permissive for them. Women in the US are still being kept down not only policitcally and educationally but also financially. Isn't it time to get the boys down off the mountain....In short why not get rid of Beavis and Buthead leaders and elect some of the many wise and intelligent women?

Answer 1

No, it is just happens to be a coincidence that Hillary Clinton, being a woman, and a piece of ****, are all the same thing.

The reaction towards Hillary is because she is a ***** who abuses her power.

Answer 2

No. If you have ever listened to Hillary Clinton speak, you'll find that she has nothing interesting to say except when she is bad-mouthing Republicans. She seems very cynical and not very intelligent. Overall, she is not a like-able person to most.

In Hillary's case, I think that besides being the wife of a former president, her womanhood is one of the major reasons that she is being considered for nomination in the first place. Other then his fornication, her husband Bill seemed like an intelligent and captivating character. I would vote for a female president if she seemed well qualified, seemed to have a good character and seemed to be a better choice than the other candidates.

I suppose you are referring to Bush with "the Beavis and Butthead comment?" Most people in politics don't graduate with C - averages. There are plenty of Democrats who would better fit to serve as president than Hillary.

It appears that you are one of those people who are confused and into feminism. Nowadays, affirmative action in schools and jobs makes it easier for woman than men to get the best. Women are being chosen over men that appear on paper to be more qualified. "The Victorian era"? Have you seen any of the amendments created in the last century. Women have more than just equal rights I suggest you get informed before you just blurt whatever is on your mind. Although, your ranting is sort of funny.

Sorry about that. If anything, the real question should be "Why should someone want Hillary Clinton to be president. What separates her from everyone else and makes her a great candidate." You don't just vote for someone because they are a woman or the other way around.

Answer 3

First of all, The United States is not the rest of the world and we should not be trying to keep up with the Joneses.

Second of all, I challenge the notion that females, as a whole, in any Muslim countries are more educated or more involved in politics then in this country.

Finally, When a woman is a candidate who I agree with I will vote for her. I don't care what is between her legs, I care what is between her ears.

I don't agree with Hillary and I will never vote for her.

Answer 4

Yes, the US does have a sexist society. However, I think, that we can change that, under good Democratic leadership. I'm really not too enthused over Hillary Clinton, though, she seems too much like a Republican, herself. What we need is a leader like Ann Richards, or maybe a Barbara Boxer. Anyway, I do believe, that it's high time we let the women clean up the mess, men have made of things. (Some things never seem to change!)

Answer 5

Please, Americans. I am not an American, but I beg you, choose wisely this time. The world needs a leader - man or woman- who has the backbone to do what is fair and right. We are slowly sliding into an abyss, and you, the only superpower, have to step up to the plate. And that means that you guys, the American voters, have a great responsibility and duty towards the rest of us. Electing Hilary is definitely not the solution. She comes with too much baggage, and is not going to unite the American people. And I am afraid that neither the Republicans, nor the Democrats have the right person either. You need somebody from outside. ( A Ross Perot type) Please, guys, time is running out!

Answer 6

You err in assuming that Hillary is a wise and intelligent woman. She is as well versed in polling data as was her husband. Also, she seems to be a cold and manipulative. Plus, we already got a hint of her political ideals with her failed attempt at universal health care. Don't assume that people don't like her simply because of her gender. It is her politics.

Besides, we had a Bush, then a Clinton, then another Bush - do we really need to keep presidential authority locked in two families? Nearly 300 million people live in this country. Let's give someone else a crack at it

Answer 7

No, it isn't sexist. However, Sen Clinton is attempting to portray it as such. She is using her gender as an attempt to gain the white house, by running on the ticket "vote for a woman or your a sexist pig". However, her political stances themselves are the issue. Her plans for universal health care are the definition of socialism, which is anti-american. Her Iraq comments contradict themselves. Most of the rest of the comments she makes on the issues are merely criticism of the current administration, with no suggestions of what she would do differently. THAT is just for starters. Ignore her gender, read her politics, and you'll find you don't want her as president.

Answer 8

Yes it is. Imagine that! Separate bathrooms, jails and sports for women. How udderly sexist.
And a draft only for men!! Ridiculous I say.
I'm with you, uninsex bathrooms, a menopause draft and share breast cancer research funds with prostate cancer research.
Err, am I being too fair?
And Hillary Rodham, who sneaked into a state that she does not even live in to get elected. We should put her in charge of the United Nations not the US. That way she can implement policy that would really show the world the US is the best place to live.

Answer 9

have a glance on the conservative base that has a carry of the Republican social gathering and verify out to disclaim there is sexism in American. it may't be executed. in accordance to conservatives each thing incorrect with our u . s . a . is brought about with the help of girls not wanting to stay at living house barefoot and pregnant. (and also you will locate that body of ideas in this very board.) If the Democrats would have run mom Theresa the Republicans ought to have chanced on fault such as her, too. regardless of this, i don't think that women will vote for her purely because she's a lady. this isn't our first time on the rodeo and all of us know a thanks to judge a candidate in step with their perspectives on issues we care about.

Answer 10

I agree that other countries seem ahead of us in this regard, but putting Hillary Clinton up for office is not the answer. Personally, it has nothing to do with the fact that she is a woman. I don't think that she is a strong leader. I know that there are plenty of women who are capable of running for the Presidency, but it seems like Clinton is the only one to step up. I wouldn't vote for her just because she is a woman, and I don't think anyone should. It has nothing to do with her gender, but only her politics.

Answer 11

No, nothing to do with sexism and those that would raise that card are the same type who enjoy playing the race card.
She's got rather far left views that don't sit well with many Americans. She's a hypocrite. A poor role model for any woman (just look how she turned a blind eye to Bill's philandering! Plus many believe her to be lying about her sexuality for political gains.
Also..remember 'whitewater?'
She's really just another power mad politician with some pretty big skeletons in her closet
