Attitudes towards a woman President

[Alcon]

Option 2, with a little bit of 1. I'd like to see it stop being such a men's club, but there's no way that this would change my vote unless I was a total swing voter.

If she had proven herself a capable leader with integrity, why would people be so nervous about a woman president? I just don't understand it.

Doubtful I would vote for a woman to be commander in chief of the armed forces, but I would if she was the most qualified candidate (likely by virtue of all the other ones sucking).

You're Not an Idiot!Not in this case anyway. I agree with you here.  A woman should never be President of the United States of America. Tradition does count for something. They also shouldn't be preachers/ministers.

Uh, "tradition"? All presidents have also had blue eyes. Does that mean we should never elected a brown-eyed president?

Tradition counts for something, but tradition is not an excuse to never change. Tradition is simply a blockade when it interferes with progress.

Progress is not having a woman President.

Actually, by definition, progress means "going forwards." That would be changing nothing, so it wouldn't be progress.

Why is not electing women a tradition? It just has not happen. By that argument, slavery was a tradition, as was the feeding of Christians to lions.

Behind quoting the Bible to tell someone they are wrong, saying "we shouldn't do that because we have not done it before" is my least favorite argument for anything.
