I hope not.
Women voters outnumber male voters - I can only hope they look past the gender issue and vote on the issues.
If they do, we've nothing to worry about, because Hillary keeps her positions on important issues top secret and very flexible, to say the least.

People, not just feminists, will vote for her because she represents something different. We are in desperate need of something different right now. Unfortunately, she will not win. We will see a man of color in the president's office before we see a woman. A man of color could be a good change too. The underlying assumption about women is that they cannot be trusted to do what is right when it is needed. Their 'womaniless' might get in the way of right judgement. They might, heaven forbid, insist on national health care as being just as important as war. No one seems to mind that male presidents often make up their minds based on what their party wants them to do, whether it is the right decision or not. This is one reason why we need to keep digging away at worn out assumptions and why feminists are still needed today.
Our foremothers fought for equal rights for women over a hundred years ago and we are still not there yet. I would think this would bother young people who so treasure their right to do, and be, what they want. The wonderful array of birth control methods people enjoy today was once fought for by the "radical" feminists of the early sixties. What was once considered radical often turns into mainstream years later. Do not bash feminists who have paved the way for your right to live your life as you want today.
Women still do not get equal pay for equal jobs, for instance. This is not "radical" feminism. This is a matter of equal justice. As long as we define women and men as only able to do certain things because of their gender, we will continue to have a world that cannot be at peace.

Well, I am sure some people will NOT vote for her because she is a woman, so I think it is fair that some people vote for her because she is. I personnally would judge based on her beliefs and not the sex, I wouldn't vote for any woman candidate, but I do believe that a woman deserves to get that post, after all the other presidents who were male.

I'd probably vote for hillary just because she's not a male person and I'm not even a feminist, or even a democrat. I'd just be interested to see something different. I'd also vote for Obama cause he's not a white person. Same reason.

I'm a women. I would never vote for her. There are maybe a handful of women I would vote for. There are just some positions that I don't believe a women should hold. I.E. a minister.

In most cases yes, except for thinking feminists.

Yes. Feminism does not push for equality between the sexes but for a female chauvinism that really borders on female fascism.

I would hope not....while it is refreshing to have at least the choice of voting for a woman (wahoooooooooo!), it isn't fair to choose a President just on their gender! So, hopefully, no, people won't!! Please credit women with more sense than that! ;-)
