Where to begin?
Given the fact that I am probably going to be called a Gender Annihilator and a traitor to my own gender...here it goes
1. If you are speaking purely on the terms of Ms. Jack Booted Hillarity: she is not at the level of ...let's say Maggie Thatcher...to hold such a high and esteemed position as POTUS. Somebody of Mrs. Thatcher's caliber only comes along every few generations. I think most of us can agree that Hillarity is so far from that caliber of FEMALE that she is in an entirely different zipcode, let alone planet.
2. Females have a tendency to rule with too much emotion. YEAH, that's right, I said it! Keep emotion out of the equation and tough peace negotiations won't occur every 28 days!
3. Females are more vindictive than Males.
4. Females are more emotionally manipulative than Males (yeah, going back to that emotional thingy).

We can be strong, we can be fierce, we can be loyal and have a whole host of other wonderful character strengths but WE ARE TOO EMOTIONAL. And while I believe we do have some very strong female leaders in this country, I think some of them still have a long way to go before they are ready to hold that powerful position. I am NOT saying that women shouldn't have it, I am just saying that NONE are ready at this time (just my most humble opinion).

AND, I am not saying that women are not good leaders because I know quite a few here at Mother Bragg that are phenomenal, amazing, outstanding, the list goes on. I think some of you fellas on here know who Maj. CJ is..enough said.
