How do we know this?


Couldn't you be jumping to conclusions?


Women are generally soft, social, and supportive. America needs that NOW!






.

ANY woman. ANY party.

Things sound desperate over there. Yet you won't accept that the person who becomes president is never the pilot but only the figurehead crashing through the waves, on a course set by others. If a cartoon character is elected it'll make no difference. When a president thinks he or she has the power they are eliminated.

Things are beginning to get desperate.


The middle-class is quickly evaporating & our infrastructure is collapsing.

On top of that emotions are already running high between political parties as to America's future.



The 2016 election cycle will soon be upon us...and that never helps...ugh.

Your irony knows no bounds. As GWT pointed out, you think a female politician who reaches these dizzy heights will be of this type?

Yes. Why not?


I'm talking about human nature.



That's hard to change -


I have to think I have logic & nature on my side in this debate guvna.

Maybe you shouldn't vote at all for any of them, it is a pantomime of hate. Your vote legitimizes the continuation of the show. But then maybe you guys are hooked on the show, transfixed by the spectacle of what money and power can create on your box. If I had one wish it'd be that people don't vote, don't legitimize the continuation of the pantomime. Yes people died to get the vote, but today it has been stripped and only has symbolic power. It actually degrades you, to vote today, for what is presented.

Bill is a woman using her husbands name. Like most women, she does not know too much about politics, or even the minds of other women.

Let's say your idealised fantasy women exists, why would someone with these traits wish to engage in a political world which does not reward such attributes and would mean having to disregard them in order to succeed.

I'm talking about human nature.

Nope, you are talking about your patriarchal view of women.

That's hard to change -

Not really, one just has to want to change.

I have to think I have logic & nature on my side in this debate guvna..

Given that you ignore contradiction in your thought I seriously doubt this.

Females produce milk.

Men produce large amounts of testosterone.


Women therefore are nurturing.

THAT'S nature. You can't change that.


That is what my logic is based upon; Logic & nature.

No, I think Bill usually makes his own videos and then just uploads them for our pleasure.

That would be great. If he doesn't do that, then maybe it'll be something to consider.

You can change what you like. We've had a female leader and it was full-speed ahead no change. How do you explain the women who are not nurturing?

Mine is based upon being a father and nurturing my kids.
