Feminism at it's best

I want to write a post for all the girls out there who continue to be subjected to antiquated beliefs and chauvanist(?) males. My girl-power instinct is flaring up again. In the last few weeks, I've heard a lot of talk about female presidents. Thanks to Hillary, everyone is stirred up. If she ever wanted to go down in the history books, or have her fifteen minutes of fame, she's done it. Since we're less than a year away from the "big vote" people talk about politics a lot, and I usually get caught in the conversation. Or decide to add my two cents in. I guess I don't really get caught... I volunteer. I can't help it if I don't know when to shut my mouth. Anyways, all this talk about Hillary has everyone asking one question: "Can a woman be president?" What, guys, is the big damn deal? Is it so presumptious to believe that a woman can lead a country? The initial argument is that women are "too emotional" to handle leading a country. Can we help it that we've been cursed with the fountain of life? This leads to emotional days, I'll grant you that, but come on... give me something more original. I know plenty of guys that seem like they're having emotional decades... do you think they're capable of leading a country? And then there's the argument that a woman would not be able to "fight" if it becomes necessary. What makes you think a man wants to "fight" or kill people any more than a woman does? If a person wants to engage in war or elist armies to kill people, if that is his sole desire, he needs to have his head checked out. I wouldn't want that person to be president either. When it comes down to it, a woman president will do what she has to do, even if in the past, the fragile feminine sex has been uncapable of aggression. So it seems, or maybe she's just been forced by society to be that way... but that's a whole other subject. I'm not saying that I support Hillary, frankly, I don't know who I will vote for. No candidate seems worthy of leading our country. All I'm saying is that I want people to consider the idea that we may have a woman presdient someday, and I'm fully in support of that. And please, if you disagree... don't use that "women are emotional" argument...it's unoriginal and petty, and if you're arguing with me, I may feel entitled to hit you over the head with a big book. Not that I'm emotional or anything...
