And where a woman has it hard to win the presidential chair, even when the men have failed dramatically in giving a good level of life for the average citizen?

No. Pay attention, will you? I get tired of repeating myself!

I'm going read in between the lines here and assume that you are talking about Hillary Clinton's race for president.
I think you simply assume that Hillary Clinton will be the best person to run the country. But, based on here positions on certain issues (illegal immigration, universal health care, ...) the majority of voters don't agree with Hillary. So I would have to say that when most people don't agree with you it is hard to get their support.
Let's be clear the middle class isn't what it used to be. Taxes are too high, the government still wastes billions, and politicians are still lying. Frankly that is because their are no "machos" taking control of the gov't and getting us our trust in gov't back. So overall I would have to say that the USA sadly isn't a society where machos rule.

I would say the US has experienced a feminization over the last 20 years. With the baby boomers now leading the country - everything is about "feelings" and making sure no one is offended.
If that isn't the reverse of macho, I dont know what is.

The government's purpose is not 'give a good life' to anyone. You have to go out and get that good life through education, training, and old-fashioned hard work.
The government does run programs, offers low-cost loans, and other services for those who need a leg-up to achieve their goals.
And yes, we are getting closer to a woman president, and there are scores of highly competent women in all areas of government today.

Failed to give a good level of life? You obviously have never been out of this country. Our homeless live better than the "average" people in most countries. Try to learn something instead of just parroting the things that idiots have told you.

No, not at all. The U.S is a pretty fair place. Women have as much opportunity as men do, political or society wise. But if you are referring to Hillary Clinton, it will be a said day in America if she does win the presidency.

Nope, America is the land of opportunity for all. Proof is in the pudding.
If Hillary loses, it has nothing to do with her being a woman. If you solely attribute it to that, I would think you're the one with the deep-seeded issues, not everyone else.
I really get tired of the old "women face more obstacles than men" no you don't. Sorry. If you are a woman of the last two generations, its not any more inherently difficult for you than a male sitting next to you.

What are you talking about? Hillary is ten times more macho (or is it 'butch'?) than all her Dem rivals. Obama looks like he's 12, Edwards is the Breck Girl (400 dollar haircuts), and the others are has-been girly-men.

Well, Basically, sure.
So many people think "MACHOS" make good choices, and win wars, and Hilary Clinton is a prostitute, Which is true.
