 Men presidents only This kind of makes me want to die. Via Feminsting: Quote: Men presidents onlyI think that having a woman president would be a bad idea for our country. Women are not meant to rule countries and be in charge. They are meant to make decisions but not confirm them. Our president deals with some countries that don't respect or allow women in leadership positions. I wonder if the United States would have more terrorist attacks because we would be seen as weak with a woman leader. I agree that women can do many things, but leave the ruling of the countries to the men. BRITTANY BAYLES, 13, Kennewick http://www.tri-cityherald.com/965/story/80020.html

Re: Men presidents only Eh she's 13. At that age your typical kid just parrots their parents beliefs. She'll likely have a different worldview at 25. It doesn't really bother me. Hillary was for Goldwater when she was young, people change.

Re: Men presidents only She is only 13 but then again because of that she most likely has the view of her bigoted parents and its sad that's what they are imprinting upon her.

Re: Men presidents only Jesus, a woman can make a decision about the country as well as any Man could with the help of advisors of course which is how Bush has made it all this time..

Re: Men presidents only Fortunately most people these days disagree with this 13 year old's position.
Somehow women have been able to lead Great Britian, Israel, India, the Phillipines, Ireland, Argentina, Iceland, Finland, Chile, and many other countries and have seemed to have done just fine.

Re: Men presidents only For a country as entranched in global affairs and the global economy as America is, I am curious how effective a female president's foreign policy would be with countries that don't have women on equal ground as men. I won't go so far as to say that we should never have a women president, but I am interested, if Hillary wins, how relations will be handled differently (if at all) with those countries.

Considering Muslim influential countries, known to be the most conservative of them all, have had female prime ministers and have dealt with Muslim worlds, i don't neccessarily think this would be a big barrier at all.
