Why are (Men) especially against having Hilary Clinton as our new president?

Question

Is it because you cannot accept the fact that a woman can be just as good as a man in office. Our is simply the fact that she is a powerful woman that took her husband back after all his sexual scandals. A women would be great for our country, men you should'nt be judgemental toward us. We can do it just as good as you can.

Answer 1

I am a woman, but I absolutely am horrified of the prospect of her as President. Despite her rather checkered past, her socialist politics are not at all what I signed up for when I became a citizen of this country.

She advocates high taxes to pay for nationaliozed healthcare, she advocates a system of distribution of wealth and she has stated that she will conficate profits of publically held companies and redistribute them to other companies.

She wants to bankrupt the country, our 401K and pension plans, and us.

I agree that there is no reason a woman shouldn't be president. I think Elizabeth Dole would have beaten Clinton when her husband failed. Too bad she is on the wrong side of 70 or she would have a real shot at it now.

Answer 2

I think the countery in general may not be ready for a woman to be president - not just men. Be careful that you don't make sweeping generalizations when you say "men" - like you are referring to all men that are against Hillary being president. Not all men are against it, and not all men are for it, just as there indeed women in this nation who are not for her being president either. The exciting thing is, that for first time in American history, we have a woman as Speaker of the House, and we have a SERIOUS woman contender for the White House - someone who is going to, at the very least, give the guys a run for thier money! Let's celebrate that!!! The rest will play out in the next couple of years.

Answer 3

I suspect no matter what any man says, you will accuse him of sexism. He could be telling you he'd like to see a woman president, but not THIS woman, and you wouldn't believe it.

Just because a person is female or black or otherwise distinguishable as some "PC" category does not make them either good or bad. Using gender as a weapon in politics is as offensive as using race.

As to the specifics you mention:

(1) Yes, a woman can be just as good as a man in any office, but not this woman. And face it, the numbers are still in favor of men in terms of experience, initiative, less divided attention and loyalty, and a few other variables. But certainly there ARE women who could handle the job: Dr. Mary Ruwart, noted Libertarian, for example.

(2) Yes, she is a powerful woman. I don't honor power in that sense as you seem to. Power has to be used honorably.

(3) "Took her husband back;" of course she did, because it was the Politically Correct thing for her to do. She won Brownie points for it, however she treated him in private.

(4) "A woman would be great for our country, men should not be judgmental" -- do you honestly believe that a person's gender is that relevant? That ANY woman is "just as good" (why not be honest and say better, which is what you apparently think) as ANY man is nonsense: we do not choose our presidents from the common folk, but from the ones that have already gained national attention long before they run for president.

If you support Ms. Clinton, that is your privilege. But you are not doing her any favors by calling up the gender issue. If she wins (God save us!), it will be because people think she can do the job, and hopefully not simply because she is a woman.

Answer 4

American men will have a much easier time to accept a "domestic" woman President,than the leaders of many foreign countries will accept a "foreign" policy agenda,lead by a woman,who happen to carry little weight in their eyes,as unfortunate as that may seem, none the less the truth....

Answer 5

There is a perception among men which is SOMETIMES justified where women make decisions EMOTIONALLY and not rationally. I think that this is often just as true of men, but speaking strictly from a BIOLOGICAL point of view, women are more subject to a hormonal cycle that MIGHT affect their decision making processes. However, as Hilary Clinton is most likely post-menopausal, this should NOT be an issue. I think Hilary Clinton MIGHT make a good president, but the only way to really find out is to see how she does if she gets elected and let history be the judge.

Answer 6

HELL to the NO! we are approximately to eliminate 1 of the main corrupt administrations in modern-day history. What stable could come from changing it with yet another one? Hillary Clinton is unquestionably certainly one of the main conceited, narcissistic sociopaths in politics at present. in case you think of that electing somebody who has 0 regard for the american people or the guideline of regulation is physically powerful for united states, then you definately do no longer deserve your vote. i'm no longer a large fan of Obama, yet whilst it got here right down to him and Hillary, i could p.c.. the candidate who somewhat has a soul, as inept and clueless as he's.

Answer 7

Because, on the average, men, more than women, use logic and reason to make decisions. If we look at Hillary's (why can't you people spell her name right, anyway?) resume, there are many scandals and evidence of corruption.

Rose Law Office Records
Whitewater / CastleRock
Cattle Futures trading
WH Travel Office
Hillary Care
Bimbo Patrols
"Vast Right Wing Conspiracy"

It's not about her genitalia - it's about her corruption and dishonesty.

We'd welcome a strong woman of integrity and honesty, like a Margaret Thatcher or a Condoleezza Rice.

Answer 8

I'm not against having a women as our President. I'm all for it (men have not done such a great job leading our country, let see if a women would) Anyhow I'm not for Hilary because she is very witchy and the biggest thing that upsets me is when her and Bill left office why did she have to be a Senator in NY instead of her home state in Arkansas?

Answer 9

It's not that she's a woman. It's HER that's the problem. I know many women that won't vote for her. If you think that Bush has been divisive, Hillary will be the most divisive and polarizing figure in politics. If you want to vote for a woman for president, wait until a good candidate comes along.

Answer 10

Well, I don't know about men, but I can say that I'm very wary about having her in office because so far, women do not have nearly the amount of political experience in this country as men do. Not saying it's our fault, considering we haven't been allowed in political jobs for that long, comparatively speaking.

I wouldn't go all feminist about it and say that it's because they think we can't do as good of a job, but to be honest we are the more emotional of the sexes and well, in the words of William Congreve:

"Heaven hath no rage like love to hatred turned/ Nor hell a fury like a woman scorned."
