Okay, here is the problems I see.
Woman president + PMS + Smart ass comment from Abdul Putin Wong = push the red button end civilization as we know it.
Presidential travel budget will be blown to hell and gone trying to transport every article of clothing she thinks she may need on a state visit.
How can a woman president get into a pissing contest with some foreign male national leader who is an asshole?
PMS, commander in chief of all american nuclear forces, do I really need to say more?
And to top it off, what if we elect a blonde?
Please note the sarcasm in every point except the nuclear weapons.
Uh, you do realize men also go through hormonal shifts particularly throughout middle and old age? So I guess we should knock most men out running for president for hormonal reasons, too.
I quote from the following website: http://restormedicine.com/hormones-in-men/
"As a man ages, naturally his levels of testosterone will drop. Subsequently men can experience unwanted changes such as weight gain, especially around the abdomen, difficulty gaining and retaining lean muscle mass, depressed mood and outlook on life and drop in sex drive. Further, changes in male hormone levels have been associated with a range of significant degenerative diseases, including heart disease, stroke, diabetes, arthritis, osteoporosis and hypertension. Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) may be due to increased estrogen in men, and research shows that men with prostate cancer often have low levels of testosterone.
Unfortunately, there is a triple-whammy in the hormone pool of men. Along with testosterone levels dropping, there is a rise in Sex Hormone Binding Globulin (SHBG). This means that more testosterone is bound to proteins and not available to bind with cells to exert its normal effect. And as if that’s not enough, estrogen levels rise in men around middle age as more testosterone is converted to estrogen, so that they experience more of the estrogen-like effects such as being more emotional (‘softer’ emotionally and physically). This can be helpful for their mates as at this stage in their life, men can sometimes bond more deeply, be more committed and less controlled by powerful sex drives of earlier years. But for many men, the changes are hard to deal with, and there is a feeling of loss around them. Losing hair, losing muscle, losing libido, gaining weight and feeling weaker physically – that doesn’t sound like a set up for feeling on top of the world and like a mighty provider and protector."
The above doesn't exactly sound like anyone I would want for a leader either. Maybe we should just accept the fact that human beings are hormonal creatures and stop with the gender bashing bullshit.
