I have to respectfully disagree with the First Lady on this one. I don't even like to work with or for women, much less have one as my President...and before anyone says anything, I happen to be a woman.

I've always thought that we would have a black President before we'd have a female one...and that the first black President would be a Conservative. (I have nothing to back this up...it's just a feeling I've always had.)

Women are usually harder on women than men are. I'm a woman and I usually preferred working with men too, but not always. Just depends on the person. I really don't care about the gender of the president. I want someone who is resolute, moral and can make difficult decisions. Someone who is conservative, pro-life, can make military as well as wise education decisions. The list goes on. And one who can manage a budget and control our borders!

I to as a woman would NOT like a woman President, Republican or not. And yes I know what you mean about working in a office with women. And to have a female boss......well we won't even go there!

I've worked with many women, and for several female (as well as male) bosses. Some of the female bosses were horrible -- the worst were self-styled "feminists", who had internalized all of the worst feminist propaganda about the "patriarchy", along with a very "cartooney" view about what management and leadership was all about.

More recently, female bosses have been as good or better than male bosses -- pretty much the same spectrum as with the men. I think that the improvement has come with: longer experience in the workforce; less stereotyping of men; greater self-confidence; and role models, who are successful leaders, rather than academic feminists.

I would vote for a female Prime Minister (can't vote for a President) -- provided that her character, abilities, and policies were suitable to the task (same standards I apply to voting for male politicians.) I happen to be a man.
