Sufferage has only been around for about 80 years. Women have only been allowed to have credit in their own names for about 30 years. Spousal rape has only been outlawed nationwide for about 10 years. It takes time for the "old guard" to die out and culture to change.
American wasn't created the land of the free and equal. It was created the land of the free and equal, but only if you were a white male property owner. Everyone else was irrelevant. Patrick Henry fought to get the bill of rights adopted and only succeeded because two of his original articles were removed, one of which later became the 27th Amendment. The Federalists were very much against the Bill of Rights.
Women should be president. But a woman shouldn't be president simply because she's a woman and we all think it's about time a woman became president. I wouldn't vote for Hillary for any reason. The woman's politics stink and she already tried to serve one term as president during the early 90s Hillary-care debacle. If Obama beats her, I'm voting for him. If not, I guess it's GOP for me.
I'd vote for Kathleen Sebelius, though. That woman knows what the heck she's doing.

this united states of america has under no circumstances been loose and equivalent! The south became wide-unfold for slavery yet those interior the north have been bringing over 40,000 slaves a 300 and sixty 5 days and at one factor have been exporting interior of sight individuals to the west indies to function slaves. If we quickly forward to extra moderen cases, eastern individuals have been placed into concentration camps with out any information that there became a choose for it or maybe nevertheless Germans weren't. If we've been fairly equivalent, why do human beings pay into Social protection except they are employed by way human beings in a central authority interest and then there's a separate retirement plan that we, their employers don't have get admission to to? Why is it unlawful so you might face outdoors a polling place and pay human beings to vote the form you choose and yet a lobbyist can bypass to Washington D.C. and pay human beings to vote the way they choose? If a democracy is a symbal of being loose and equivalent why are there 11 different international places that have extra effective well-being care, extra effective educaional opportunities, and a extra effective techniques-set to life so a strategies as adjusted actual earnings - all constitutional monarchies - we've not had a woman president yet we've not for some years had a president that became no longer the two democratic or republican so i've got faith the respond isn't a rely of intercourse yet of corruption of a equipment which became meant to be extra effective and has no longer lived as much as the expectancies of our forefathers. we've the potential to develop into plenty extra effective and probably it fairly is time we provide a woman a huge gamble with the aid of fact we easily can no longer do any worse than we are doing now.

i think free and equal is a legal statement. technically a woman could have become president, but the country has not allowed it.
i don't think the country is ready for a woman, black, or any non white male to be president. my reason for this is that, until we as a country can get over all of the issues of racism and feminsim, we won't be able to handle a change in the image of president and in fact, it is unlikely that they will even succeed.
nobody knows what it will be like to have a president anything other than white male. if we were to have a woman become president, the moment she did something wrong, people would turn around and say she is unfit because she is a woman or because he is black.
i think the controversy surrounding a woman or black becoming president are blown out of proportion. it's not like these people are like us, and by us, i mean typical everyday citizens so i have a hard time believing that anyone at that level in politics cares as much as they say.
regardless, people blame the president for anything and everything. america is so whiny. we want everything our way and don't want offer a helping hand at all.

I see no reason why a woman could not be a President, and i expect it soon.
I am a woman, and i guess my next comment is not going to be popular, but it is just my opinion.
What i do worry about with a woman president is because of our natural make-up, we tend to operate more on emotion and "feelings", where the male tends to be more "logical".
Having said that, i do think there are woman out there who could do an excellent job at President. It just may take longer to find that right one. This is not to say all males running for President are good candidates. I hope this helps give you a point of view.

America may be advanced in many fields but is a sure backward and laggard in this respect.I think they have a kind of phobia about the Presidency,as they rarely ever object to a woman holding any other high office.But,as it's said,time is a great leveler and some day,a woman president would open their eyes to the fact that so many men presidents have been under performing in their jobs,so far.It may take more than a Hillary Clinton,but it has to happen.

I agree with you! Geena Davis and Rod Lurie sum it up pretty well:
""So many countries have had a female head of state before us. So it is certainly time. I think it's appalling that we haven't yet. The crime is not that it's taken so long, but why haven't we done it yet?" (Geena Davis)
"Females represent 51 per cent of the country and it's absurd that they're not represented in the highest level of power, and not even given that opportunity. There's a lot of firepower in the world, ladies and gentlemen. There's lots of it, but there's no weapon as powerful as an idea whose time has come." (Rod Lurie)
But, don't get me wrong. I would never vote for a female candidate based on her sex alone.

The country has been ready for a female leader. The problem is that I haven't seen one fit for presidential leadership. I won't vote female just cause she's a woman. I want a good woman. It would belittle me to vote for "you know who" when I don't think she's good enough, just because she's a woman. I personally don't think she's much of a woman either, don't care for a woman who lets a man step all over her and does nothing about it.

as one person asked in here, if i don't find black people attractive, doesn't that mean i'm racist? you can cry your eyes out, but the fact is we haven't seen a black president either. why is a woman more important than a black person? or why doesn't a black women really make history and run?
when women start paying for dates, mowing the lawn, and taking out the trash, than we'll talk about equal rights.
