An interesting thought....

This is where you can discuss your homework, family, just about anything, make strange sounds and otherwise discuss things which are really not related to the Lancer-series. Yes that means you can discuss other games.

Presidents are male nor female, they don't even classify as human. They are the species "politician" a offshoot of the species "thief"

I'd say women are perectly capable of being a leader of any country, including the United States. The only problem I foresee is that so many nations are still very masogonistic (I just realized I've never used that word in my entire life and I don't know if I spelled it correctly ). And because of this, they may see a female leader as a weakness and thus may make negotiations, war, terrorism or other alliances because of it.

A woman would have to expend more energy, time and smarts just to come out even with a man in the application of her agenda. My mother who works in a male dominated field has had to work harder than all of them to beat them at their own game and still she get's very little respect. While she may have chosen to confront such things herself, a presidency of a country is different. A female leader will not only be inflicted by less respect with the results thereof, but everyone in the nation will be confronted by the world's view of her gender as well.

That isn't to say it couldn't work. But in the experiment, a country like the US could be in a world of hurt for the amount of aggressors who would think it was an opportunity.

That is something to consider in making a decision for voting for or against a woman as president.

I don't think it really matters what sex a political leader is as long as they get the job done. I honestly wouldn't care if Australia had a female Prime Minister, just as long as she wasn't one of those womens activists types that's always appealing to minority groups.

All they need is ONE quality to be sucsessful. Wisdom! Have that, and you will sucseed at what ever you do.

..or enormous norks, that usually does instead of wisdom or ability

"mysoginistic" which of course I'm not, I love women especially when they're semi-naked.

As a leader, I would prefer her to have wisdom rather than norks, as too many people would not be paying attention to what she said.

You're always going on about womens' attributes, Taw. Anyone would think that you were shallow .

SS - It's "misogynistic" by the way. You know, as in the soup .
