How can you afford to get hung up on gender?

Q: Some blanket arguments against having a woman president include:America would be perceived as militarily weak.Did you ever think this could be an advantage?Read "The Art of War".How about: Women aren't rational.And the last 2 Presidents were?The question asked should be "Who will do the best job"?As long as you cling to a preconcieved ideal or model, rather than assessing a candidate on their merits, you will be shooting yourselves in the foot. And by the way, your country is in a crisis right now.Personally I think that if you assessed candidates on their merits, you would hear very different rhetoric, if not have an entirely different lineup.

A: I have no problem with a woman president, I think we are ready for one. I have been told that many of our allies see us as backwards because (among other reasons) we haven't had one.I just don't like Hilary.
