When will USA elect a female President as some of our Muslim countries that have done?

Question

---> Indonesia, the most populous Muslim-majority country, elected Megawati Sukarnoputri as president
---> Pakistan, the second most populous Muslim-majority country, twice (non-consecutively) elected Benazir Bhutto as prime minister
----> Bangladesh, the third most populous Muslim-majority country, elected Khaleda Zia and Sheikh Hasina as prime ministers
---> Turkey, the fifth most populous Muslim-majority country, elected Tansu Çiller as prime minister

we see the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 5th most populous Muslim countries have done this, yet females in the superpower find this job elusive.

im getting some interesting hate mail on this question, please don't be haters, lets love each other not threaten each other.

Answer 1

Yes, I'll vote for Sen. Hillary Clinton next year and hopefully she will be the US's first woman president.

If she isn't elected, there will be a woman president here eventually.

The US thinks Ireland is a backward country, but Mary Robinson was the first woman President of Ireland in 1990. Almost 20 years ago!

You're a lovely and intelligent young woman and I would never send you hate mail. I respect you as a person.

Answer 2

Look I've answered this question many times. It isn't just we don't elect women it's that the American people think that the other candidates are better qualified. We don't do anything to discourage women from running for president but most choose not to. Now I don't know if theat is because they are afraid of that responsibility, don't want the sexist mail they''ll get or what. It isn't a women never is elected issue, it is still a who is best qualified to run this great country issue. As it should be.

Answer 3

uHmmm I see a trend in these answers that I agree with and more than likely continue. I think the overwhelming majority of people vote for the candidate that best represents their views and philosophies on where the country should be heading and what the government should be doing. Most of us are not concerned one way or the other about a persons gender or race.
I don't think any of the countries you listed, or England which for quite some time was governed by Margaret Thatcher, chose these candidates to be ground breaking, or to smash a "glass Ceiling" . They found a good candidate and voted for them. Sooner or later so will we.
When this does happen that women will be able to hold her head high and know she was the one that people thought was best to lead this country.

Answer 4

Women Presidents with no rights????????? Hard to comprehend, and it doesn't look like it has been very successful to date. America will elect one some day, maybe in just a few short years. But the difference is she will have the same freedoms and rights as a man. An Iman will not be telling her how to run the country.

Answer 5

Not until we get a woman candidate who is qualified to hold the office. We haven't had one yet and there are none on the political horizon.

I can't say that I have seen ANY qualified candidates this election cycle, regardless of sex or political affiliation, with the exception MAYBE of Duncan Hunter or Fred Thompson (if and when he ever decides to throw his hat in the race!).

I can't abide ANY of the front-runners who will probably win in the primaries, of either party. It is far past time for the U.S. to have a viable 3rd party candidate with a chance of winning the election and not act as a mere spoiler for one of the other two parties.

Answer 6

a individual by potential of the call of Nunov deAbove. because of the fact Nunov is the only candidate who is conscious and is conscious the topics of judicial activism and could make an attack on activism the top-rated area of her marketing campaign. Nunov will coach the voters on what it potential to interpret the Due technique Clause and the equivalent protection Clause wisely, and could clarify a thank you to interpret the 9th modification wisely. Nunov will clarify what type of Justices are necessary by potential of asserting a similar form of issues that the two Bush and Kerry pronounced on the 2004 presidential debates, .... yet will propose what she says!

Answer 7

Are these women really running the country or are they just their for show?
That will be hard to answer unless you are that woman and are going to tell the truth.
I do not believe that a woman should be running the country, but should help the man who is. That way there is a balance.

Answer 8

Peace be on you

Sex shouldn't matter at all to you or me. Ethics should. As a God fearing person of the book you would agree that un-ethical liberal policies are corroding this nation. The debauchery needs to be reigned in and I guarantee you that if you are referring to progressive/liberal Hillary Clinton, she is not the means to that end.

Answer 9

No many women made it to be candidates. Some occidental countries already did. (Germany, Chile, Argentina)
I can ask you about Irak, Iran, Tunisia, UAE, Saudi Arabia, Libia and it will be the same question. I am not american, but I feel you are trying to demonstrate something by just choosing examples.

Answer 10

I don't like this differentiation: I mean, cmon. The sex of the candidate mustn't be a factor. Teh president is the political character with the best socio-economical program. His (her) sex is just a detail, just like his (her) weight, height, eyes color...
The difference between men and women is purely and simply physical. Stop this misogyny.
