What are some real, valid reasons why women shouldn't be President of the U.S.?

Answer 1

I can't think of any reasons why they shouldn't be president. In fact a Clinton/Obama ticket should in theory reduce claims of racism or glass ceilings or inequality.

In reality, of course it won't, as many of the gripes that people have about this country are just raised for personal gain. To have the problems they are complaining about actually be solved would be the death-blow to most special interest groups. They would rather raise interest in the propeblem and perpertuate its existence.

Answer 2

None.

But the fact that a woman is running is not a good reason for vote a woman into office. Meaning that people should not just vote for Clinton b/c she is a woman or b/c they are a democrat. People should look at the issues that mean the most to them and the views of all the candidates.

We, Michigan, voted in a woman as governor for the fact that she was a woman. People didnt realize that she has no leadership ability what-so-ever and is just a puppet of the democratic party. Now we have the highest unemployment of any state, we lose the most jobs per day than any state, and are still the only state to not recover from the market crash post 9-11. And then we voted to keep her in for some dumb reason.

Answer 3

Science, opps, sorry for that word but this is a fact; science says that women have a problem being feelings oriented. This can change, but takes a special anointing for her to be factual! We men know this, if married! Even the time of month can make hell in the home for many couples! A voter must make sure a woman running for any office bases her answers/actions on facts! Some can, but most cannot! We know that hormones seem to affect women greater than men! The Bible has some woman as the greatest of leaders, but that was because they were not fools! What did the woman write in her past that could affect how they will react in office? Do they support the idea of IMMEDIATE FAMILY? Do they support the idea that anything goes and can be called a family? The only support that one sees for family, in other lifestyles, is promoting the lifestyle and not even their family! Is this not why some want a contract of marriage; to suggest what they do is right and want approval? Do we approve? Should we not, then, take part in their lifestyle? You know, try it out, then say it is right or wrong? I say that a woman can be a good President, but we must be very cautious! Do they or we suggest all is the same, or what difference does it make with sex or orientation? Then we lie, about what we allowed with diversity as in our recent past! Earl

Answer 4

Real reasons?

Well, a president is a political creature that is forced to operate in a political environment. If that enviroment is chauvinistic then a female president will probably spend all her time fighting.

For a woman to be an effective president in our backward and ignorant country she would have to be elected in a huge landslide. Think of Reagan's elections. She would have to take 48 out of 50 states and those other 2 states would need to be close calls.

Answer 5

It's not weather a candidate , is a man or woman, it's weather they are trustworthy and good at leading. The US , has to get over these sexist notions and start being a country of REAL EQUAL OPPORTUNIY.

Answer 6

1. They have to be elected
2. They must be at least 35 years old
3. They must be a natural born citizen

Any woman that can acomplish those, deserves to be the president.

And I'll throw my two cents in about Hillary as well, she is not who I would pick to be the first female president of the US, but she might be a better candidate than say, Thompson.

Answer 7

There are none. I for one am sick to death of hearing about some senator or congressman playing footsies with some young boy, and than telling us how moral he is. Let's give the women a chance.
Not even dogs could do worse than the guys we have managed to get in there now.
Let's give Mom, and Sis and our daughters a chance. We just may wind up with a better country. We men may be all able to just go fishing while they run things.

Answer 8

The only true logical one is that in the middle east woman are considered to be 2nd class beings. Any female president then as a direct result of the culture over there will be at a huge disadvantage for foreign policy.

Answer 9

First of all, I believe a woman could be the President. However, it's not going to happen anytime soon. I'm tired of hearing about both men AND women saying "What if she gets PMS or cries??" And how could she deal with foreign affairs with cultures that don't think women should do anything but cook and make babies and barely show faces in public and be subservant to men? It's a cultural thing for other countries, not just the US. I do dream of the day when a woman can break through that glass ceiling. I think Condi Rice could do it someday.

Answer 10

As far as abaility to do the job, there is nothing stopping a woman President. The only problem I could see is that a leader is only as efective as the willingness of the people they lead.

Quite frankly, the first woman President is going to have a tough job. There are a lot of poeple who still live in the 1700's that think a woman can never lead this country.
