Are women too emotional to be involved in politics (including voting)?

[foxsquirrell]

Yes, infact many of today's problems are linked to female interference in politics, the judiciary, and in society in general.

No women may be too emotional but they may reason better than men sometimes and are generally more emotionally mature as they have a better grasp of their emotions.

No. Hillary is about as ICY and calculating as they come. More than MOST men actually. Women have a UNFAIR disadvantage in ANY leadership position. Regardless of her position women are always expected to be a woman. Which is why if a man is decisive he's considered to be a strong leader. A woman by the same token would be labeled a b****. I've also been TOLD by many women that they would rather have their leader be a man. Which suggests that while some women support women simply because they're a woman, that some women actively work against some women simply because they're a woman.

No. Most women that ascend to a high enough position in politics to be force to be reckoned with, emotions are NOT the problem. At least not from women as a whole. It's from the view of society is an what a woman's roller is.

We are now 0 for 2 with women who've won their's party's nomination. At some point are country is going to have to look itself in the mirror and come to terms with it's truthfulness about it's sexism.

most lawyers are awful people. i don't think the president needs to be a lawyer. i do think anyone in politics needs to have their entire life and head checked first.

i don't want a woman just to say we have a woman. i don't need a bucket list of firsts to prove that we're different. i need someone capable and level-headed enough to follow advisers that are NOT foreign agents.

if the right woman came along that checked all of those boxes and was better than her opposition, then fine. AOC has a lot to prove before she can win. she would not win without being clear on issues. i think that's the main thing that's going to happen. candidates aren't going to be clear about things because they have been corrupted. those are the people that we don't want to vote for.

I heard a theory that female politicians have the tendency to rule as if they were mothers parenting children, which is why they are more often than not completely for mass censorship and surveillance, because that makes sense to do for young children. It's also why communism is so appealing to them because "sharing is caring."

The problem is that the people ruling over are NOT children and is tyrannical for adults due them being fully capable of thinking for themselves. Policies like this will also ironically create more child-like behavior in adults due to everything being so bubble wrapped.

Is this the Nth post trying, mildly this time, to portray men as governed by logic and reason whereas the entire History proves the contrary?

Human race is a wild beast, partially tamed by cultural and societal necessities, partially locked up in the sacred and secular cage of moral rules wanted by either organized religions and philosophical schools.

[foxsquirrell]

I am not trying to portray anything. And what the hell has anything you said has to do with my question? Yes I believe that women are more inclined to use there emotion as a deciding factor than men are. Especially when it comes to children.

[Maybe_Maybe_not]

I'm glad you didn't try to portray anything then.

As for what I said next, I stated that men and women alike aren't that good at reasoning, as population groups, because they're not engineered for that, in the first place. Hence our bloody history featuring megatons of ripped off heads and random rapes, for example. More recently, we can look at many men and women inclined to use their emotion as a deciding factor to vote when whatever populist party rings the bell.

And if you think that men are better with self-control then you have not attended to a lot of male centric communities losing their bits each time a butterfly farts.

[foxsquirrell]

I am aware that many men are illogical and governed by nothing but primal animal instincts. However for the nth time I am saying this, I am talking on average. If we get values I think the male group would score better than women when it comes to logic, although I am not 100% sure. I am more certain to put it differently that women are more emotional than men and that there strong emotions over ride the logic that they might have. Hence their emotional decisions.

[Maybe_Maybe_not]

But then what would this scoring test measure? Certainly not intrinsic use of logic since we'd have to isolate so many factors, cultural, psychological, I don't think it's feasible.

[ohsheeT]

No not even I mean to be honest there are much smarter men out there in this world then Trump and all the other government people that have been picked to run our country much much smarter

And that is the same for women There are much smarter women out there than those three right there Those three Would be the worst It's all three of them were in the country at the same time There's women out there just one of them Are smarter than all three of those women put together

[DryGermanGuy]

You want to call Angela Merkel (four terms as German chancellor) emotional? 🙄

[foxsquirrell]

Yeah look how she has fucked Germany with her pro immigration policies.

[RolandCuthbert]

Why do we care about your assessment? I was in Germany two years ago to support Ukrainian refugees. I didn't run into one german with your issues. I did meet some anti-vaxxers however.

[DryGermanGuy]

Merkel didn't exactly have "pro immigration policies", just like Biden did not have pro immigration policies. Politicians often disagree on the applicable ways to solve an urgent situation and in our case the strongest country in Europe temporarily took the burden instead of risking the destabilization of smaller neighboring countries. Now that the Syrian civil war has ended, we are already coordinating a plan with their new government to return 80% of the refugees. The same thing will happen after the end of the Ukraine war.

[foxsquirrell]

@RolandCuthbert I don't mind Ukrainian refugees. I have seen protests in Germany by Germans on youtube against undesirable immigrants.

[foxsquirrell]

I don't have a problem with Ukrainians. Who cares about the war in Syria. If I don't want Syrians then my door will remain close. War or not war I am indifferent. You can disagree, I am saying in which camp I am in. What pisses me off is that a few politicians make such a decision for all. These things should be decided with a referendum if it is a democracy that we are talking about.

[Still-alive]

I don't agree with either poll option.

They are not 'too emotional' period lol. and yes it is their right to be involved with politics.

cope harder incel misogynists on here!

[OneViewpoint]

No, but MAGAtards are too stupid to be involved in politics (including voting).

[Smegskull]

No.
Emotion has nothing to do with the problem.

Politics doesn't have room for both men and women though. We don't share the same incentives.

[888theGreat]

women do vote on how they feel. Feelings out weigh logic when they vote

[foxsquirrell]

loll yeah they are inadequate for the task

[Mike_Hum]

yeah, the 19th amendment was likely a mistake.

[foxsquirrell]

lol..
