I still think giving women the right to vote was a mistake…too emotional.

Dispite what the post suggests, I am no man-hating feminist :)

My point is that politics is traditionally a male-dominated field. Can you imagine if a women were to run for president? All other issues would be ignored, crushed under the sheer headline-grabbing value of such a novelty. Idealy, gender wouldn’t matter, and candidates would be judged purely on ability. If that were the case, there would be roughly equal numbers of men and women at all political levels. But this isn’t ideal – its a popularity contest.

Raven, Thanks for your honest and insiteful comment! Not many women have the courage to say that for fear of retribution from their peers. I would not rule out any person from a job or office if they could perform it. There are some jobs that do fit more with one gender than another. Women do have more cones than rods in their corneas and thus can discriminate colors more accurately. Men, however, having more rods, can see better in dim light. Some jobs and positions require quick, clear thinking, some have the luxury of time. I’ll visit again.

Of course more women should be in politics, but not because they are…WOMEN. That is sexist.

Women do offer a perspective men cannot, but it is often riddled with emotional BS vs. clear thinking. (I’m a woman and I know this)

If women can put aside their stoopid feminist ideals as well they would be far more respected.

Its said that men will never ask for directions. There is a lot of truth in this. They do tend – though variation is too great to make any conclusions about individuals – to be arrogant and unwilling to admit their mistakes and weaknesses. To admit mistake is to admit imperfection.

We could use more women in politics. At the top of politics too, not just local. I wouldn’t want almost-exclusivly women any more than almost-exclusively men, but the ratio currently is clearly off.

Men. Do the right thing, have integrity, are the heads of their housholds, are strong in more ways than one and love only women.

CLINTON?? Manly? Gag me to death. Talk about turning me right the hell off.

Give me a break Timmah. Bill Clinton is about as much a man as I am. He’s a wuss and a wimp; sure- he got a BJ but that wasn’t a very exciting woman who did that to him- it’s the best he can do? Bush on the other hand keeps these things private and doesn’t need to go outside his marriage. He clears brush in more ways than you would ever even know about.
Cowboys are real men, unlike how they are portrayed in that freaky movie you refer too. Cowboys aren’t afraid of much.
Give me a cowboy anyday over a famous (non) man like Clinton.

You gotta be shitting me. You guys make this too easy.

Bill Clinton is more manly than Bush on every level. Bush doesen’t drink, I don’t think he screws, and he doesen’t eat anything bad and excersizes constantly.

Clinton on the other hand was banging interns while eating a cheeseburger and smoking a stogie. The manliest thing Bush does is clear Brush.

I’d much rather get a BJ than clear out some stupid weeds on some lame ranch. Sounds a little brokeback mountain to me…
