It's about damn time a Native American gets elected president
Edited on Wed Feb-27-08 02:26 AM by Levgreee
And a severe burn victim gets elected president
And a homosexual gets elected president
And a Hispanic, Asian, and a Black person gets elected
A Jew, an Atheist, and a Mormon gets elected president

Although sexism is still an issue in this country and around the world(much more so in other countries than here)...

I continue to believe that people who feel a woman is "entitled" to be president, are not only incorrectly viewing a candidate's qualifications, but being selfish, as there are many people who feel under represented, and I would argue ARE represented less than women... and in some cases have gone through, and still are, experiencing more inequalities than women.

7. I believe the point of the OP is that having a vagina does not uniquely qualify one for the job.
And, to that, I wholeheartedly agree...

10. Absolutely not. Neither does being black, gay, etc...
The point is that HRC is playing the vagina card. I would no more vote for a woman because she's a woman than I would a man because he's a man...and if a man said that we needed a man to do the job, it would be considered a sexist statement.
