Current Events > Why isn't America ready for a female President yet?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Other countries have had female leaders.
---

Because neither major party has yet put forward a female candidate who's suitable for the job, and the US isn't ready for a 3rd-party president.

No, no, no, you see the reason why we haven't had a female president yet is because America hates women. Just hates them. We hate them so much that we make them believe they will actually get elected only to snatch it away from them at the last minute.

Because, despite its position of global leadership, America remains behind on issues of racial, gender, and social progress.

Because an absurdly large portion of this country still thinks what's between your legs determines your ability to perform a task and/or your potential to perform it.

To be fair, a much higher proportion of people think that in countries like Bangladesh yet they still elected a female PM.

Considering the majority voted for a female back in 2016, id say were plenty ready.

Clinton and Stein were shit canidates however
---

nothing wrong with a female lead, just that the ones presented so far have been shit.

Because the candidate they selected was Hillary Clinton.

Fair point.

The only female candidate I can think I'd dig is Elizabeth Warren. But there are probably others I'm not aware of.

America is ready for a female president. They're not ready for a president who will exercise the 'feminine' aka 'openness' quality that's necessary in politics like redistributing the wealth and stopping locking people up for drugs.

It is.

Just not the Republicans.
---

Overall, I'd say they are. There's just a few too many old white guys in control of the money and that's all politicians respond to- where their next campaign contribution is coming from.

women aren't good leaders. look it up its in the bible

I hope the first woman is conservative lmao

This sounds completely like something you made up.

Or like only "liberals" are interested in seeing a qualified woman become president? Like that's weird. You don't think "conservatives" want to see that, too? :\

I think Hillary got what she wanted. I wish she would go away and count her money.

There are certain qualities that society doesn't like in women that overlap with qualities that people find desirable in presidential candidates.

Well, people apparently like it when the president brags about grabbing women by their genitalia.

And a lot of people like to watch women grab other women by their genitalia in certain videos so I mean I don't think this is a valid argument.

What you said doesnt invalidate his position. Its very possible people cares less about sexual deviancies of a political leader than they do about other qualities.

Men tend to have more charisma, and that matters more in American elections. Its the only reason Obama and Trump won their primaries.

Imagine if this could happen...

Then, any criticism leveled against her by the democrats can instantly be called out as misogyny - turning it right back on them.

They did that the whole time Obama was in office. Even the most valid of criticism was met with: youre only against him because hes black!
---

i dunno bro

prolly because america is stuck in reverse now
---

Because there hasn't been a female candidate that has proven she can do the job without pulling the gender card every chance they get.
---

If Barack could win i have no doubt a good female candidate could win.

Hillary was definitely not the right one despite the false spreading of the narrative that shes "the most qualified candidate ever"

Just not the Republicans.

Reminder one of the lines of attack the Democrats had against McCain was that he was too old and would have died giving us President Palin.

Gender isnt relevant for leadership

Second post pretty much nailed it.

He's poking fun at how a lot of liberals like to accuse conservatives of being sexist, wanting to put women back in the kitchen, etc. A conservative female president would fly in the face of that kind of rhetoric.

Then again, as unqualified as she was, the support Sarah Palin got as a conservative candidate should show that most conservatives don't have a problem with a woman in the white house.
