As a woman myself I feel obligated to stand up for my side of the species. Unfortunately I'm finding it hard to do so. Yes, women can do anything they want to do. Many female politicians are very effective. But I wouldn't vote for a woman just because of her sex. I'd vote for her if I thought she would do a better job than the other guy/girl. Frankly I'd like to replace Bush with a dancing chimpanzee - the chimp would be safer - but I digress.
Yes, women have 'their time of the month' but men tend to be more egomaniacal. It would come down to who seemed the more sensible and had the more realistic running platforms.
Whatever the sex, most of the governments of the 'western world' (Europe, the US, Canada, etc.) need an infusion of new blood. We've heard the same crap over and over and over for the last 20 years nearly. We need some young people with broader horizons to become interested in the direction the world is headed and take some action toward getting into political power to make some changes. The world hates change but, fuck it, we need to do something.
I need to go to bed. I'm starting to get FAR too serious!
