A man describes why women should never be president

This article is really funny (and pathetic) in that the guy actually believes what he is saying.

Simply put, a woman isn’t suited to be president of the United States. As the leader of the free world, the position of president demands a great deal. Enormous pressures must be endured daily; important decisions with far-reaching consequences are required consistently from the office. Therefore, the president of the United States must be able to handle it.

Men, in general, can think and lead with reclusion from their own personal feelings, something by and large not possible for a woman. Anyone who has ever dealt with a woman or been forced to watch Lifetime, knows they don’t hide their emotions. Tough choices sometimes will have to be made. In that case, would it be wise to deal with someone who could potentially be emotionally unstable?

In the aftermath of Sept. 11, as the subject of military response came to the forefront of American debate, would a woman have the same ability to send troops into battle? Women maintain a much closer bond to their children than do men. Would a woman president be prepared to send America’s soldiers to war?

Think Osama Bin Laden and Abu Musab al-Zarqawi don’t like us now? Wait until Madam President is sitting in the White House. Anti-American sentiment, which runs to the heart of Islamic fundamentalism, would further be incensed.
