Am absolutely positive this statement is out of character to your normal posting style You are right on that score ! But your sense of humor is getting rusty, and you did not recognize the tongue in cheek humor about the Secession thread and about litigation in our culture. Yes, a female President will happen if more women continue to enter public office. Eventually a strong candidate will emerge. There have been female Senators, Governors, and a VP candidate. Hillary is the next potential female candidate for the Presidency. However she is a very polarizing personality, and remains to be seen if she is electable. She may be more electable if she first become the Governor of New York and was successful at that. If you study US History, most winning candidates are ex- Governors and ex-VP. Relatively few candidates made the jump from the Senate to the White House, and the last one to do it was JFK. I agree with you that there is a bias against a female President, like there was a bias against a Roman Catholic President. However I do not see one your other pet peeves, that the women get treated unfairly in medical treatment.
