I am with Leonard, there are women I would like to see as President, but I dont think it will happen.

Why do you think it won't happen? What makes the USA so different from countries like the UK and Germany where they have elected female leaders?

[Marnie]

Nothing in particular, I just don't think it's gonna happen. With the exception of Maggie Thatcher, from what I have seen of female leaders they haven't exactly distinguished themselves.

We need a praying President and a Christian man

Do you have a problem with the idea of a woman being the President? If so is this a theological objection or just misogyny? The fact that I you are a woman, makes such a statement particularly depressing.

Somebody put up a thread earlier about being misinterpreted. I think this is a case of misinterpretation (perhaps deliberate misinterpretation) if ever there was one.

However, I could be totally wrong about that, and I do stand to be corrected if I am.

Reading what you said kind of reminds me of a satyrical political comedy that used to be on the TV where they had a woman popping up on just about every sketch always with the line "you are just saying that because I am a woman". I think you are "playing the gender card" here and seizing on an opportunity. I think what LightofJesus and Marnie actually meant was "Christian person", the word "man" was just used to denote "person" or "mankind" as it would be incredibly clumsy to say - every time we wanted to talk of someone, anyone - man/woman.

I think this is particularly unfortunate because people don't like to be accused of sexism whether or not they are guilty of it, and will often back down from something that could have nothing at all to do with the gender of a person they are talking about. This is a way of "changing the subject" or telling someone that what they say has no validity because they are just being misogynistic. So this attitude can stop a debate "dead in its tracks".

Sure there are women who would make good US presidents, but somehow I don't think Hillary Clinton is one of them.

It wasn't a deliberate attempt to missreresent it is a simple question about the explicit desire expressed for a Christian man to fill the post. In the context stressing man does seem otherwise unnecessary, "a Christian" would have suffised.

I think Marnie should run for President!
