Why do you think america would be better with it's first female president?

I often wonder how many women voted for Hillary for being a woman. Hillary is a horrible woman and a back stabber she is a very bad example of what a leader should be.

[Soteris]

I believe that people are people so that there is not really an inherent advantage with a female leader over a male leader. However, that also means I think that due to nothing less than random chance we would have 50/50 male and female leaders. The fact that this is NOT the case currently points towards some kind of inherent bias which means that we are missing out on 50% of the population. Statistically speaking we have been missing out on countless amazing leaders that could have pushed humanity into a golden age simply because they were not born male.

It is such a shame to miss out on potential. Imagine if Einstein or anyone else who had the potential to change the world given a chance but were instead stuck picking potatoes in a field. Humanity is not doing well enough that we can simply overlook wasted potential on this massive scale.

We haven't had any good female candidates in the first place, with the debatable exception of Carly Fiorina. That's a major problem itself.

Ultimately, it isn't going to matter whenever it does happen because the same unelected background bureaucrats will still effectively run the government anyway. Most prospective candidates (especially, but not just the women) don't stand up to them and most likely never will because they don't have the temperament or the means to tell those people to pound sand.

Didn’t vote for Hillary. I wouldn’t vote for anyone unless I thought they were a good candidate.

Chosen someone for office, whatever it is, based solely on their sex/gender, is a bad idea. There are qualified women and qualified men, as well as unqualified women and unqualified men... for any office.

[Surely]

My fear would be. How would the countries that treat women worse than animals. Accept a woman leader from the US?
Would they be taken seriously or as a joke?

[exitseven]

No, voting for somebody because of gender or race is a disaster. Hoe do you think we got Obama?

[Snakeyes7]

I would think that if said woman has good policies.

[Crankor]

Nope. Why would that make a difference?
