Is America ready for a "woman" President?

Question

Current polls do show citizens want change, if the need for change gets to a peak point and the country wants this change do you think that amercians can put aside gender bias and elect a female President. This is for a paper and please give some valid points that can be used to support either direction. Are we still that gender biases in 2007?

Answer 1

Although I am rooting for Hillary, and would vote for her, I fear that Americans are still too gender biased to vote for a female president. That, in itself, frightens me, as it is 2007, and there is still too much prejudice. I read a great deal, and talk to many people, and there is still an aversion to that particular change. I hope that I am wrong; I really do.

Answer 2

Shameful yet certainty is i think of usa could like a woman president over a Black guy sitting in the President's seat. I made this remark approximately 5 years in the previous I knew something approximately Obama or Hilary working. it can be a "huge" journey if the two a woman or Black guy have been elected. I in simple terms check out background, women persons quite had a Civil Rights pass that quite pushed for the rights of ladies persons in the previous the Black Civil Rights replaced into effective. Blacks did not see a huge replace till the Civil Rights pass in 1965 while Martin Luther King Jr. recommended for us. i don't while usa would be waiting, I in simple terms think of a woman taking the presidency in the previous a Black guy, no remember how clever the guy could be.

Answer 3

Well I believe I heard somewhere that women outnumber the men in the US, and presuming they are all legal and of voting age, then yes, I could presume that a woman could be elected President. I think it's time for a change. And not to sound too feminist, I think that this country needs a "mother" in the White House - someone to do the housecleaning (sweeping illegals back where they came from, "vacuuming" drugs off the streets, giving criminals a good swift kick in the rear, etc).

I'm not saying Hillary would provide all these things, but she has MY vote, and my husband's too.

Answer 4

If Hilary Clinton is elected, she will be a 'woman' president, not an actual president. This is because America is so wrapped up on not being racist/sexist, they end up discriminating people. That's why Clinton and Obama will never be president. And people should choose presidents for leading ability, not because they feel guilty for not electing a woman or a black person.

Answer 5

Yes, the nation is quite ready for a woman or a person of color. In fact, the nation is desperate for a change from the tired old rich white guys who see the presidency as just another trophy for their collection.

Answer 6

I heard once from a teacher that the president in the late 70's that he was the closest thing to a woman president that we ever had.

Answer 7

America is ready for a woman president just not Hilary she would mess us up even more

Answer 8

I think the question is: Is America ready for a NON-white male Anglo Saxon Protestant as president?
After all, of all our presidents, only one, John Kennedy, as a Roman Catholic, did not fit the above description.

Answer 9

It would be an oboma nation.

Oops, mood swing!
Ask me tomorrow!

Edit:
Are we ready for a first man or
are we ready for a man first lady?

We are not ready because we don't have the semantics worked out.

Answer 10
