(32,086 posts)Hell, with some of them, like Hillary and Liz Warren, it's obviously way in the rear mirror. And, fwiw, I have yet to meet a woman who is "crazy five days out of every month." We are 20 years into the 21st Century. It's unbelievable that we're still having to discuss this kind of bullshit. Especially when NUMEROUS other countries have had female leaders who never "went crazy." Even PAKISTAN, ffs.

And don't forget Golda Meir, PM of Israel.

(53,410 posts)Then why are they pushing Ivanka? And what about Joni Ernst and her love for castrating?
That statement comes straight out of the Stone Age for fucks sake. Way back when The womens movement started.
Its a wonder we can raise kids and have jobs and be professionals and mothers and grandmothers and principal caretakers of our elderly parents with all that crazy we have.

(2,227 posts)These are daily, even hourly, bad decisions based on our testosterone.
And WE don't go through menopause, so OUR insanity is 24/7, from about age 10 or 11, until we die (probably with a hard-on).
MAN = GOOD
WOMAN = BAD
I'll take a female president any day.

(3,544 posts)I know of male democratic voters here in PA that said women won't make a good president because they get to " emotional." To that I say bull s**t. Women have always had or mostly had to clean up the messes men make. For where were at now is a prime example of that. Women are strong, stronger then what we get credit for.

Not that it actually makes a difference.
Most of them have never seen a woman up close and personal, apart from their mommies.
