I can’t keep politics out of this any longer. Sorry guys, I feel compelled to say this: It’s a crying shame that so many men are so afraid of a woman in a power position. I have seen this fear many times in my lifetime. Years ago, one man I knew repeatedly said he hated Oprah. When I asked why, he had no answer. Another time, he said he hated Barbara Walters. Again, when I asked why, he had no answer. After this happened several times, always with a woman in a position of power, he said he hated them….never having a reason, when pressed for one…I decided that a type of fear was causing this so-called “hate.” This characteristic is evident in many men (not all men, of course) to whom I have spoken, over the years. What I detected with them was a profound fear (either conciously or subconsiously) of women in power, which manifested itself as a type of hate.
This alarms me. I hope it does you, too.
I believe that, in spite of all that is said about her, Hillary Clinton would make a great president. Further, being a brilliant person, she would realize the honor and magnitude of her being elected as the first woman president, and she would do everything possible to manage her presidency in a way in which all Americans could be proud. She would understand the importance of her legacy to those who follow.
All I can say is that this will be one hell of an election.

Pingback by Presidential election 2008 |Republicans Vs. Democrats » Men and Political Views February 24, 2008 @ 5:59 pmOK, so in the same breath that you pass judgment on those who are afraid of a woman in power, you then state that you won’t vote for someone with Hussein in their name because you think it makes them a terrorist? Or do you just find sexism less appealing than incredibly shallow bigotry?
Comment by jackofspades83 February 24, 2008 @ 6:13 pmWell Hillary’s your girl. She is more moderate than the socialist Obama.
I voted Republican in the primary election but my man didn’t win. So, I am going to vote for a moderate Democrat than a radical Republican.
I hope I don’t get any “letters” or emails on this comment.
