like the longhorn was pointing out earlier, PMS is not it, it's women's emotions in general. 99% of the time at work they may be fine, but then out of left field here comes the incredible hulk, out to destroy anyone's happiness.

PMS is not much of a problem by itself, but it is the agreat multiplier when it comes to women's emotions. Normal acting logical women(if there are any out there) wouldn't have this problem of pms, but emotionally on edge women with pms are over that line.

 

That's very valid.

I wonder how female leaders have been responded to in the past with those countries and how that all worked out.

On one hand, I wouldn't want our leader to appear weak and would like he or she to be completely respected and if being a male makes this possible, then I'm all for a male leader.

On the other hand, how can that sort of attitude about women change if women aren't put in such positions to prove them wrong? I don't now if I want the U.S. to be the one to appear weak in their eyes, just to prove a point... kwim?

Yeah that. And not often do we even see presidents that are 35, they're much, much older.

LOL, maybe just a few female Secret Service agents to check the sanitary receptical for bombs in the bathroom, lol.

As for jokes and stuff... I wouldn't vote a woman president in if I didn't think she could handle stuff like that.

 

Huh?

Everything I say in this thread has been confused by you, I believe. Did I say you said a woman shouldn't president?

And the last thing I quoted from you wasn't you playing devils advocate. And if you were, you worded it wrongly and I have a right to respond to it.

 

Okay, my little superior, logical thinking males, I'm off to the bank.

 

Extremists being the point here, you would all be amazed what these countries' population does in their own homes.

Other countries have women as their President/Prime Minister so wtf is America afraid of??? What they can't stand a couple of jokes? I'm positive it would be ridiculed much less than it is now under Bush.

 

^This is what I was responding to.

Yeah... I agree... a lot of misunderstandings in this thread. It does seem like you women have been overly hostile though.

I said in the begining that I think a woman could do just as well as an equally credentialed man. But that is not as fun as saying a women gets emotional during her period.

 

the leader of the free world, a woman? haha! do that and we are asking for trouble!

 

I saw a t-shirt a few weeks ago that sums up my feelings:

On the left hand side, a picture of Obamas face.
On the right side a picture of Hillary's face.

Running under both pictures was this term which we have all heard before:
















Bro's before ho's!

That shirt had me laughing so hard I nearly split my side!

 

[quote="tC4italy"]even regular run of the mill islamists are very sexist. we got those women hiding their faces even here in america.

the way we control country's that we need to control is through perceived fear and power. A rightwing pro-christian male is a great way to show this. A liberal semi-religious woman is not. you can even understand that, right? the only 2 important country's with women leaders germany and england(when it had thatcher), are very conservative, and their countries aren't fearful of war and aren't doing any nation building though.

 

- Again, you don't know do you? You have not lived in one of those countries and spoken their language and have seen/lived with them and know what they think behind the 'safety" of their walls.

I stated that based on many of the opinions on this thread it seems to me that NO the USA is not ready for a woman president since yr all $hitting in yr pants worrying about what others might think. Before worrying about what other nations think of the US if a woman runned it (sp), think about cleaning the dirty slate Bush has produced. No one fears the USA because of its power but because of the huge mistakes it can (and has made) make.

 

i'm for hillary as president, as i feel she'll get the best job done domestically between her and her husband. I would rather see joseph biden as president, but he's got no support.

if iran, china, and north korea didn't fear the US in some way, they would not be as calm as they are now. If it weren't for the percieved retribution from the US, what would china have already done with taiwan? If it weren't for the percieved retribution from the US, n.korea would have nuked japan and possibly south korea even. Even if we make huge mistakes, it's usually on the aggressive side of fault, not the weak one.

 

I can't speak for China nor North Korea but I can vouch for Iran. Iran is not Iraq. Bear in mind it had one of the most powerful armies in the world at one time. My grandfather was one of the 3 generals in the army before the revolution came. If the US does go do something silly in Iran as it did in Iraq, better be prepared for a hell lot more dead soldiers. That's all.

Crazy people don't fear unfortunately.

 

The US has roughly 300,000,000 people.

About 90,000,000 of them are old enough to be president.

About 50,000,000 of them are female.

If GWB is the best that we were able to come up with for 8 years from the male side of the chart, maybe it is about time we looked at that 50,000,000 on the other side to see if we can do better.

I'll bet we could do better than what we have.

Thought I'd never say this but: I agree with you Tomas.

 

Tomas for president!

 

If women didn't hate each other, yall would already rule the world. The reason men own everything is that we play well with others much better.

Women are women's own worst enemies, not us evil hairy stinky men. Personally, I'd vote for Hillary if she wins the democratic primary, however not a single female I know would vote for her under any circumstance (well except for the few progressive chicks here).

 

they will when they're given the choice of her or mccain spouting his newly formed anti-abortion stance in this day and age.

 

LOL at Mccain. He went from one of the most conservative voters to most liberal and back again.

 

To quote from history: "If nominated I will not run, if elected I will not serve."*

(What bothers me the most, I guess, is that I absolutely cannot believe that the Shrub is the best we could get out of a pool of 90,000,000... If that's the best we can do, God save us all - we are doomed.)

Another quote; "Doomed! Doomed I say!"

There wont be a woman pres or any other pres besides a white male for a LONG LONG time. The way the system is currently set up, we have a democrat and a republican selected by the shadow government. The two candidates almost always belong to the skull and bones secret society. Then we all go out and vote for the people they have already decided for us. The truth is that it does'nt matter who's in office. Same agenda, different _______.
