Do women doom their own selves regarding equality?

[removeduser_487563287433]

I agree that politics is a man's world. I think one of the biggest problems with male politicians today is that they are being feminised as women are being emasculated. Men won't act like men, because they have a free mind (the same way they justify being whores ) I think that it is unnatural and harmful to both.

That is as much as I think on the subject.

What rubbish. All western legislatures are full of women. All cabinets are full of women. This year a woman ran for the Presidency of France. Next year a woman is likely to run for the Presidency next year.

Oh, and by the way, emasculated means having your manliness taken away from you. Don't see how women are being emasculated.

I doubt the general population of America would respect a female president, A lot of Americans seem to be very conservative.

So a female president cant be a good leader, and what about a Queen? While the position is pretty much only ceremonial these days, I think Queen Beatrix of my country (holland) has a certain royal air about her. Shes very correct in her behaviour and words. Definatly a woman to be respected.

The best monarchs of Great Britain have been female, for sure.

Still haven't figured out why politics is a "Man's World" or what "acting like men" actually means. Sounds like a bunch of rubbish about beating your hairy chest and roaring to achieve dominance over the other males.

Actually... sounds exactly like politics.

So what? I know women are running for and being elected into government offices, but that does not change the fact that they are not as good at politics as men. I think on average women are more emotional and that isn't a good thing. When women try to act tough and butch, they are still emotional, they just have a chip on their shoulders. I am not saying that there have not been good women leaders, but that they do not make as good leaders as men.
If a woman is to be a leader, she would be much better off as a queen so she would always be respected because of her station. In the US the offices require that you earn respect and the stress is much greater in some respects. (as a monarch, a whole kingdoms fate falls in the balance, but it is not the bite and claw politics of the US)

Margaret Thatcher is considered by some to be the finest British Prime Minister after Churchill himself. You speak utter and consistant rubbish.

I never said there haven't been or couldn't be good women rulers. Margaret Thatcher was a total ***** BTW (if you'll excuse the language).
Even when there is a good woman ruler, she is pampered much more than male politicians. That is not equality and only slows things.

What now?

[Inhuman One]

Women could be better politicians at some points BECAUSE they are more emotional.

Not all women are that emotional though.

[Gaidin]

Ever seen a woman when she's plotting revenge?

Imagine THAT after 9/11.

[Gwendylyn]

I think I want proof that men are cold-hearted monsters with feeling chiseled from stone!

I don't think there are any studies that show women are more "emotional" than men. Both are quite capable of feeling emotion. Women have the advantage in that there are no cultural boundaries preventing them from showing it as well.
