Is America & the WORLD ready for a female president?

Question

As a female I would love to see a woman such as, Hilary Clinton, hold office. Although I can't help but to think that society its self is not ready....I feel that maybe in certain ways other countries would see us a weaker nation, and discriminate against a female president. Even though the Female race has come a long way there is still that "machismo" stigma....Or to say, that men are superior. Do you think that other nations would view the US in a negative, weak, or even demeaning way if we were to elect a female preident? Also that the views of others would possibly lead to moreviolence against the U.S.

Doc, i only said Hilary because she is throwing her hat in the ring or the presidency......Don't judge me by age or intelligance if you dont know me.

Answer 1

yes ....... but why don't we do it like we done before .........vote bill in and let her run it again........ oh_hell

Answer 2

The world...probably
The USA..probably not

If Bush hasn't already tarnished our reputation with the rest of the world...i doubt a female president would. I don't think it would lead to more violence against the US either because we all know that the president is the front man (or woman) and that there is a team of people involved in that person's every move. We have proven to not be very progressive thinkers in a lot of different ways and things that we turn our nose away from here are very common and acceptable in other countries. The media has too much control in deciding how our country will feel about a particular issue. Like nudity for example. Go to France and you will see nude images on the tv and in the streets and nobody thinks twice about it. In the US, the naked body is something perverse and that should be hidden and people that show it off are sex crazed deviants....no wonder Americans have such body issues. So, although I feel that a woman president would be nice for a change...we are not progressive enough to make that happen.

Answer 3

I could care less about gender. It's the "Qualifications" that count. Hillary? Are you crazy? You must not be old enough to remember what she did the last time she was in office! Hint: Amoung other things, she tried to socialize medicine. Her Idea was to try and make medical care available to everyone, whether they worked for it or not. What she did was turn the decision making over to the insurance companies -- as if they know what's best for you and me. Me, I need a hearing aid. I served in the military and retired. Can I get a hearing aid? No. My insurance won't cover the cost of a specialist. So, here I sit, almost stone cold deaf. My doctor says I need one... But the insurance company... Perhaps if I were here illegally. I can't wait to see what Hillary does next! NOT! She's done enough damage.
About the world perspective. Most countries don't care if it's a woman in charge.

Answer 4

purely about fifty one% of the inhabitants are women folk, maximum human beings, so definite u . s . of america is nice for a lady president, so why no longer? The English were no longer fearful of a lady properly Minister so what are you individuals fearful of, Hillary? Is nationwide well being care that scary? and he or she will be harder than bill i'd make certain that! purely appropriate for each and each of the Macho patirotic kinds, and the undesirable will be more suitable off, and probaly the wealthy as well. u . s . of america will under no circumstances withdrawl from Iraq she will proceed that modern coverage, and he or she would definetly make a great commander in chief.purely an a opinion of a foreigner who's speaking his concepts,when you're fearful of foreigners please supply me a thumbs down.

Answer 5

Answer coming...

Yes, I beleive the "world" is ready, even though there are still some discriminations. Consider countries who have females in positions of power. In that sense, they are more "advanced" than we. I see no reason why a strong, diplomatic, logical & humane woman could not be president. The only "problem" I've heard, is the sexual escapades of her husband, (as if he had been the first)! & that should have NOTHING to do with her ability to be a good president. Just as this didn't in any way affect the GOOD things he did as a president. Anything is possible, but I very much doubt THIS would weaken opinion about us; we are not much "beloved" by the world community as it is now, with a--don't admit mistakes/don't back down even when the majority are against policies/John Wayne "leader." I hope others will give you a "star" on this question. You earned it.

Edit: Jenna--"women are not wired to think logically?" Interesting concept. The reality is that women are incredibly logical, & they don't have the foolishness of testosterone to set them off blindly choosing violence instead of diplomacy. (I'm not man bashing--it's just physiological.) As for Rice, hasn't anyone seen, in spite of her intelligence, how she "caters" to her "boss?" Doc mentions qualifications that count. I believe that was an aspect included in the question. It wasn't--are we ready for a STUPID female president. Additionally, Hilary's health plan had much merit. You confirm the inadequacy of our current administration to deal with it, by your (very justified) complaints.

Answer 6

I am DEFINITELY ready for a female president finally we can have some SMART people running the country. Don't be sexist because females are intellectually superior to men and are good decision makers so I think we are ready for the first female president in the United States of America history of 200 years. But we will also have the FIRST MAN who will be Bill Clintin lol. I WILL TELL YA I AM GOING TO PARTY ALL NIGHT WHEN BUSH IS OUT OF OFFICE!!!!!!

Answer 7

Every since Marget Thatcher was elected Prime Minister the world, and the western world has been ready for a female president. I won't say if the world is ready for Hillary Clinton yet, but the world is more than ready for a female president. If anything they are wondering why the US hasn't caught up to them yet.

Answer 8

Well, there have been other prominent women leaders, like Indira Gandhi and Margaret Thatcher, to name a few. But then again, the Indians and Brits seem a lot more progressive than us Americans these days.....

Answer 9

Women aren't wired to think logically like men, we're more emotional. All this feminism crap make me sick, even as a female. It's like society is trying to teach us how to be men, not be "liberated" as they call it. We were liberated when we got the right to vote, and when our husbands lost the right to beat us. Honestly I think if Hilary ever made it into office, I'd kiss the USA good bye. She's hardly the kind of candidate I, as an American citizen, would want in office. She tries to make out to the public like she's a moral woman, who loves the people. It's all party approved fabricated crap. She's evil in disguise, and I wouldn't vote for her in a million years. It all comes back to this, you said yourself that you think the world would view us weaker with a woman president. You answered your own question, yes they would. In some countries women aren't allowed to speak in front of men, or too men, so how do you think a female president would fare? I think she'd fall flat on her face and cause more problems than fix them. I'd rather stay home and bake cookies. That's my opinion as a woman and American citizen.

Answer 10

The world is certainly ready. Golda Meir, Margaret Thatcher & Indira Gahndi come immediately to mind. I think the US is ready. I'm ready for a woman as president, but not Hillary Clinton. Condi Rice would be fine with me.

Answer 11

When the developing country like India, Pakistan,Sri Lanka, and Bangladesh have had female prime ministers decades ago, why not US?

By far indira Gandhi was one of the best prime minister India had.
