Woman President Anyone? Anyone?
Lately there has been an ongoing debate as to how people would react if Hillary Clinton became The President. I am not much into politics so when these conversations heat up I lean more towards the battle of sexes rather than political bullshit. Politics, as we all know is a dirty game and forever will be. Whether it is played by a man or a woman, it’s hard to clear a swamp when filth is dropped from every direction and the same goes true for politics.
So let’s not argue about who is going to win the upper hand in politics, whether its Hillary or anyone else, I don’t really care because its not going to change much. The only way this election might change people’s perspective and views is if Hillary wins. Why so? Simple. She is a woman and I am ready for a woman to take charge, are you?
Let’s see why I am all for it. And this isn’t just about Hillary Clinton being a president, this is about woman being in power and why I do not have problem with it. Let’s begin the controversy which I assume will begin from this post:
Tear Down The Sexist Wall
Although we talk about equal rights and all other things that sound good in paper and words, we hardly believe it. I can take the heat coming from you men on why I might be wrong since I know most of you don’t agree with the fact that woman can utilize authority, possibly better than men. A woman in authority challenges a man’s ego which helps him realize the truth. It is a mirror that allows everyone to see that things are equal and not one higher than the other. Men have taken authority since the beginning of earth and woman have stepped forward now. But still sexism exists, and it exists in your neighborhood, on your street, and most of us we practice it in our lives and homes. Sad but true!
Responsibility - It’s Natural For a Woman
Before I say anything further I would like to remind you that I am not talking about individuals here. Some men are responsible and some are not and the same goes true with woman. However, in general woman are more responsible than men. Countless studies and research have proved that woman are more responsible than men simply because of the mother instinct they are born with. A woman has a natural instinct to be caring, loving and bear more responsible. And this alone might be a huge huge change if we ever have a woman president…. I am ready for a change. Once again I am not into politics but the fact that having a woman president might allow things to fall in place due to the sense of responsibility is surely tempting.
Negotiations With Emotions
You know I think about this one all the time. For example: how many times you give in to your wife or girlfriend just cause they know how to make you feel bad with emotions? Not ever right? Well, that’s a lie. There are times when every woman can make somebody negotiate in their favor simply due to the skills they have naturally earned as a woman. The same can be applied in politics as well. Yup, sounds a little different but it can and will work. I can bet that if we had a female president the war in Iraq would have never been carried out and if it did it would be over by now. I guess we will never know until we give woman a chance. It’s about time and to be honest it’s over due.
They Didn’t Have a Problem in The 1800’s, And We do in 2008 ?
Please click here and take a look. Woman in authority isn’t anything new, it’s just that we tend to ignore it and think it never happened and shouldn’t happen. Wrong thinking!
There are CEO’s that have successfully ran companies who are mothers who run their families as well. There is nothing wrong with woman being in charge. If there is a drawback from political standpoint of view then yes, whether it’s a woman or a man, they do not have the right to bear the authoritative position. However, just the though that most men entertain that a woman shouldn’t be a president just because they are woman is simply and wrong and very primitive!
What’s your call? I know you have something to say. Go ahead and express your views. Do not target me personally, I shared my views and you can do the same. The purpose of this blog it to educate while being educated by others. It’s a community to learn and to teach and share each others values and emotions and make ourselves better. It’s a hammer to break down the sexist wall from a man who believes in woman right and that equality is due!
. I don’t see that happening for myself

So many things right so many things wrong.
Through the whole article you express why a woman should be president over a man… I am sorry but are you telling me that just because I am a man I would do the job less efficient than a woman?
This whole article until the end goes in the complete wrong direction. Everyone needs to realize that what makes/made this country better than others (This is in theory since we have laws and acts that prohibit fairness) is that the best person for the job is the one who should get it. I don’t care if they are Man, Woman, Black, White, Christian, or a Jew. Its whoever is going to do the job best. The simple fact that you say its about time a woman is president is flat out reverse sexism. You are saying since in the past and still in the present that since woman are being somewhat oppressed that we should just LET THEM have the presidency because that would make it more equal.
What needs to happen is to be unbiased, We need to realize it is all about the so called “Bullshit” politics that determines who is better equipped to run this country. You threw politics in the article as soon as you said “I can bet that if we had a female president the war in Iraq would have never been carried out and if it did it would be over by now.” that is politics. It may be true it may not be, but that is what we are supposed to vote on. How the future leader of our free country will handle situations and there viewpoints on situations. It matters not whether they are a man or woman.
To be honest its views like this that hold are country back from being equal. If it were truly equal and you felt like it was we would not care if it was a man or a woman it would be who can do the job best. Not all women are caring, nurturing, responsible so the fact that you say women are this way is mute. no one woman just like no one man is alike. Majorities don’t count since to be honest the majority of this country woman or man, could not deal with the responsibilities put on the leader of the free world. Those who strive to achieve that great honor of being president are already different than the normal person.
There are many great female leaders in this world, but they are not great because they are a woman. They are great because they are different than the rest. Just as there are many great leaders around the world no matter what race or sex they should not be judged by that. Judge them by there actions as humans, and that is what makes them great.
So to answer the in general open question of should a woman be president? Yes if she is the best candidate.
Sorry if you felt like this was an attack on you, It is more so as attack on the whole view that woman are better suited because they are women. that view is sexist and works against what freedom really means.
