We Wouldn't Have Half The Problems We Do If There Weren't So Many Females In Politics.
When someone comes along who has Guts and Balls the world will be a far better place.

For some unknown mysterious reason my view on female leader ship is not only dim, but also concerning. When I look for reasons why I think this, I just can't quite put my finger on it and find the answer. I am reluctant in trusting a female to have a job of a politician. The lack of reasonong and evidence for my argument may place this response as invalid, but never the less I still consider this as an opinionated answer. I believe Women should have the same rights as us men, but not be fitted for office, or other leadership occupations. That may contradict itself, but I don't care.
I embrace criticism as much as I expect it.

 your opinion on this seems reasonable enough as any, Verum.
not all women are militant feminazi.
I am not.
I am very old-fashioned, and I like it.
never apologize for your views or your thoughts: they are you.
Just be who you are.
Who you are is not inappropriate.

My technical response? females are lacking in the leadership hormone called testosterone.
It is a dog-eat-dog world, and girls lack the equipment to do a man's job. It is a sad thing when we try to be men cuz we are not men.
People need to realize biology plays a part in social-ecology and politics as well as employment roles: we are not made to work in a warehouse lifting 100 pounds every 3 minutes: I do not know why so many people hate their gender and their roles accompanying that gender. What's so terrible about being the weaker sex? We have our roles.
Acceptance is a good thing to come into as one realizes some things.
It is not a bad thing to be the girl. No one should expect the girl to act like or be the boy. It is not inappropriate to be who and what you are. God made us all who and what we are and it is just right or it wouldn't be so.

That's OK, Keepmindok, I will go ahead and let you have this debate ;-)

I have not had my morning coffee yet, and am tired - a certain man whom shall remain nameless kept me awake all freaking night so that I feel hungover this morning something terrible even though I had nothing to drink - Hummmm..........wonder if this certain man is listening........ Perhaps perchance?.....;-) (JOE9).

A certain British man......whose child shall be named: "Forandagainst" and the child shall have blue eyes, like 007 Daniel Craig - because my eyes are blue...........

And we can go singing at midnight in the rain like some friggin musical, not caring we are soaking wet or others are thinking we are off our nuts ;-)

 Women can mother their offspring to death. Too many women in charge will ruin the country and the world.

Yeah because us men have set such a high bar with our politicians, women could never live up to that. And goodness knows that before women were allowed into politics everything in the world was perfect.

We wouldn't have so many problems if there weren't the "debate poster" being allowed to speak, vote or hold office.

Edit:

Dimwitok just hurled at me the equivalent of
"n!&&er-lover".

 Speak for yourself.

By the tone of your post, I have struck a nerve, careful or you are in danger of proving me right.

I won't bother making the very long list of murderous men who had guts and balls and are responsible for the great leadership which brought the world millions of deaths.

Give me women in every top political position on the planet, please. While we're at it, throw em into the top religious positions.

What a crock! Frankly most of world history women were shut out of politics and look at all the stupid stuff that went down in history - wars, oppression, torture, exploitation. Women get a leg up for half a century and now you want to blame most of what's wrong with the world on women? Well, it's a little late for that. You can't have men monopolize the show for centuries and then point to women as the problem.

We used to have very few women in politics in the first half of this century. We also had two world wars. We then got more women and had post-WW2 wars (Cold War and Cold War by proxy such as Yom Kippur War and Korea, Vietnam, so on).

I can't see the difference. The same goes for domestic policy in all areas, the number of problems over the decades seems fairly constant, the number of women is increasing, ergo no correlation.

I honestly don't think your gender has anything to do with your policies.

Well, there might be some truth to that as politically incorrect as it is but I offer a second opinion. I think the female voter has caused the greatest harm actually. To willing to vote with their heart and not their brain. To willing to hear a politician say some warm and fuzzy lie and say "awwww, they are so caring" and therefore vote for them. Women have a harder time accepting the fact that life cannot be made perfect. The want to "mother" the world.

That's a little bit sexist without any evidence. Let's ask what Margret Thatcher thinks - "In politics, if you want anything said, ask a man; if you want anything done ask a women." how, opiniated!

 Margaret Thatcher was a man!!!!!!!a woman wouldn't have stopped school milk.
Women do the opposite of what is right for the country, and the opposite of what is right for the people.

There are not a lot of females in politics in the UK. There are actually more female politicians in Iraq than in the UK.

Actually, it does not "speak for itself", can you specify exactly which problems were caused, or are even linked to female politicians?

Males were causing problems long before women were even able to become politicians, so that speaks for itself.
