We definitely need more women in public office

[Billy000]

I won’t get into why there aren’t more women in office except by saying that not enough women even try to run for office in the first place. I think this is something feminists do not want to admit.

However.

We DEFINITELY need more women in public office. They are just as capable of handling the job as men. And more importantly, they - on average - have personality traits that men often lack on average.

1) They are more willing to comprise across the aisle. Women in Committee in congress have demonstrated this ability over men.

2) They also are more empathetic both on an emotional level and a cognitive level. They are more willing to be sympathetic to the plight of the poor and shrinking middle class. Moreover, they have the fairness of mind to consider an opposing perspective which in turn contributes to their ability to compromise.

3) They don’t have the egos men often have.

4) Oh, and for the most part, they aren’t sex perverts.

Again, I stress, these observations are ON AVERAGE. Obviously a lot of men have these attributes just as a lot of women lack them.

I think one reason why most women don't run for public office is that it is so all consuming. Running for and being in office is a 24/7 job, essentially, and most women have other responsibilities (family basically). If you look at the men who are in office, they all have a spouse supporting them: the woman behind the man as it were. Women's husbands are usually involved in their own careers and do not give such complete support to a wife in office as they don't have the time. So, she is still responsible for looking after the family (the female role in society) and she is not getting 100% support from her spouse.

Yeah I’m sure that plays a big role in it.

You apparently do not work where women are bosses.

1. they are not more willing to compromise that is shear BS, they are no different then a lot of men in that regard.
2. Business, life and government is not a place for emotions. Emotions are about the most subjective trait there is to base judgement. I can see a woman standing up to Putin and crying.
3. You got to be kidding their egos are just as large, maybe larger.
4. Sex pervert is not a trait for a leader, and who knows how many men are harassed they just don't say anything? Look at how many teachers molest their students, it is almost always women.

That all said, there is no reason more women can not be in public office. But what we want in public office are good representatives and being woman, being a man, being black or any other trait that divides us is not one of the criteria for being a good representative.

Sorry but it is not almost always the women. You will hear about the women in the news BECAUSE it is so rare that a woman commits sexual assault against a child. Women don't hold a CANDLE to men when it comes to sexual assault.

Maybe I exaggerated a little but the number isn't zero by what I read it about 1/3rd. The point is that women do the same shyt men do. To use gender as a trait that qualifies someone for anything other than child birth is as ridiculous as using skin color.

According to this racist, it's the ovaries, not the ability that should get one into office.

Very nice, maybe in the 3rd world this is workable.

You are a pitiful human being. I always find it pathetic when male cons think they are smarter than any woman. Few things in this world deserve that much ridicule.

Sorry, but women usually don't rape. It is really quite rare for women to sexually assault or rape another person. I never said it was 0 though. Women don't hold a CANDLE to men when it comes to sexual assault is what I said, and I stand by that statement.

I didn't see where he said anything like that. What he is saying is that you shouldn't vote for someone because they are a male or a female but you should vote for the best candidate for the job. While I too would like to see more women hold office, it has to be the RIGHT woman, not just any woman just because she is a woman.

Think about it this way, look what women do involved in the Porn industry and prostitution. Seems to me there ain't a whole lot of difference between men and women. What you are arguing is a matter of it's harder to rape a man.

Bottom line, using gender or race for a criteria for an elected of elected officials is wrong, we need better PEOPLE in office.

Oh, totally. The problem is those women who do succeed are often complete bitches, like Margret Thatcher, Teresa May. Merkel I like as a person, she's better and competent, but still ruthless.

It's the problem when ruthlessness becomes the sign of good politicians, rather than good ideas.

We agree on something, Billy BALONEY! That is why I think Barney Frank should never have resigned!

 

[ScienceRocks]

People need to accept that both men and women are naturally pervy. It is human nature.

If you're working together you're probably going to display it. That is the lesson that this cluster fuck should have taught us over these past couple months.

The moral of the story is if it goes too far go to the police and press charges. No more remaining silent...Otherwise, accept that we're sick creatures that thrive to fuck each other.

Yes, we need more people with those qualities. Women are more likely to have them. And yes, obviously its all on them to try. I wish they’d start.

This isn’t hard to figure out.

Why do you think women are more likely to have them? It seems to me there's a reason why there aren't more in office. Maybe they ... I dunno, don't want to be there? I mean, you're right, it's not hard to figure out why. Politics is dirty as hell and it takes a special sort of soullessness to survive in that world.
