Yes, let a woman run this country.

Tis the season for Thanksgiving, Christmas and voting. Since it is Obama's last term, new candidates republicans, democrats and female women are running for president. Yes, I said female candidates running for president , isn't that great? We might have a female president for the United States of America, but the thought of having a country ran by a woman, seems to be a problem.

According to the article "9 Reasons Why America Should Never Have A Female President" By Michael McCutcheon, he says that women only care about birth control when in fact that's not true because there are other big issues happening like Isis, Racial oppression , Economic downfall etc so I'm pretty sure women don't only care about birth control that much as he claims it does. Next he states that women fail miserably when they run fortune 1000 companies. That proves nothing about becoming a president, just because some women can't run a company right, doesn't conclude that ALL women can't run a company. Look at Phebe N. Novakovic she runs a prosperous company worth 31.9 billion dollars so your opinon is irrelevant at the point. I'm not going to state all  reasons but here are some that made no sense to be named a reason why we shouldn't have a female president.

"No one experiencing menopause shouldn't ever be making descisions."
"Women don't have what it takes to get things done."
"Women are too emotional."
"That is not their role , they need to stay at home and make me a sandwich."
"America CAN have a female president , but we don't NEED one. "
"If a woman became president would the White house become a kitchen?"

   It's just like telling scout she can't wear trousers anymore , she must be lady like and wear dresses.

                                                                         My Reactions.







People make and say really sexist comments to make it sound like women are bad and can't do what men do. Yes,we have a law saying  men and women are equal, but just because we have a law stating that doesn't mean people will act like we are , when in reality we aren't. You thought by 2015 that everything would be handled, everything we be fine.. but it's not and I personally don't think it ever will be. Women will always be looked upon as unfit when trying to do a man's job and they will always be judged for that.

But one day maybe, women will be treated like they are supposed to be treated and we will just be dancing when we finally have a female president and celebrate proving for once, that women once again, can do anything a man can do. If Obama can become the first black  President, then we have a good chance of having the first female President, but it's all in the hands of the people.

  1. Love how this blog really expresses the truth behind how women are seen by men. Men think women just could never be as strong or capable as them which is all together unfair in so many ways. Women really are so unequal to men and men seem to think this is fine. I know many teenage boys who have tried to argue with me on how women are less than men. So frustrating and uncool.
