Because other countries have had competent female leaders and proved women can do the same job as men, but not here. It's utterly unfair, and I know life is unfair, but I'm not the only one who feels this way. And given the way men behave in war, and have in the past, it just really makes me furious that this is just another way women are put down by men and even fellow women.

Really? Not the only one? I bet mutiple people are also sexually attracted to cars. Why should your clique matter?

American men behave fairly well in war compared to to other countries or history.

... what the hell are you even talking about? Clique? Getting outraged over the fact we haven't had a single damn female President in 200 years, that barring one black man, it's been nothing but white guys over and over and over, is not "trendy," it's a legitimate injustice that needs to be corrected, and if you somehow don't care about that, what does that make you?

Oh don't give me that. There were lots of atrocities in the Revolutionary War, the Civil War, and even the world wars. Yes, not to the extent of, say, the Japanese or the Germans or the Soviets, certainly, but I'm not going to pretend they didn't happen. Just in 2006 a bunch of men got together to gang-rape a 14-year-old Iraqi girl. So don't you dare tell me that.

Dude went on a complete non sequitur, comparing outrage me and others feel over a provable injustice to sexual desire and... made it seem like a trendy clique. Is he even living in the same reality?

No we don't live in the same reality. That is how politics often works.

So you're okay that we've had 44 white male Presidents and only one black man?

... what does that have to do with anything?

... you know, not having a female President... is something we can change today... it's within our power... yet we don't... so that is an injustice to get furious over... how can you not see that? Treat it as something "trendy?" Like a... fashion statement?
