So I was looking at one of the little political polls they have on Facebook these days, asking various questions about what people’s stances are on issues. One of them I saw was “Can a woman President be as effective as a man?”
While significantly lower than those who said Yes, there were quite a lot who said no! Perhaps one out of every seven respondents said no.
You mean people like that actually still exist? I mean, I can understand people saying no specifically because they don’t like Clinton, but that wasn’t the question. It was just in general, if there were anything inherent about all women that made them unfit for presidency, some way that isn’t an issue for men.
President must have a penis? Something about that determines how the commander in chief handles foreign policy and other important matters? Something about having a vagina hinders this?
I don’t get the logic. Feminism has come a long ass way, but there is so much more that must be changed still. Can’t people just learn already? It is exhausting giving the human race any credit and being so continually disappointed.
A lot of men still think of women as inferior beings. Women have been hated and looked down upon by men for thousands of years.
I was talking to another student at my university. She commented that right now is not a good time to have a female president, because we need someone who is tough.
Yes, it is ridiculous and sad. Next time someone uses the phrase feminzai, I will remind them that there are serious issues that feminists still must overcome.
I shall just comment on what the student said to Jesse in the post above: “right now is not a good time to have a female president, because we need someone who is tough”
Erm…hello? Hasn’t anyone ever heard of Margaret Thatcher, one of the toughest Prime Ministers that the UK has ever had? She was nicknamed the “Iron Lady” for her toughness and guess what? Wait for it………….she’s FEMALE!!!!!!!!
