“A female shouldn’t be President,” is a direct quote from a Dallas woman’s Facebook page.
As you might imagine, the post has attracted quite a bit of attention from people across the country. CBS 11’s Steve Pickett caught up with Cheryl Rios, the CEO of Go Ape Marketing, and asked her to explain the comment.
“I believe in what I said,” she told Pickett. “There’s an old biblical sound reasoning why a woman shouldn’t be President.”
Here’s the full text of her post: “If this happens – I am moving to Canada. There is NO need for her as she is not the right person to run our country – but more importantly a female shouldn’t be president. Let the haters begin . . . but with the hormones we have there is no way we should be able to start a war. Yes I run my own business and I love it and I am great at it BUT that is not the same as being the President, that should be left to a man, a good, strong, honorable man.”
Rios posted her opinion in opposition to Hillary Clinton’s announcement as a Presidential candidate for the 2016 election. But Rios went well beyond a political position. She says a President should always be a man.
“We’re built differently, we have different hormones,” she said. “In the world we live in, we have equal rights…and I support all of that. I don’t support a woman being President.”

Or Sec State like her and halfbright. May I also include the BBQ pit and the fish fryer.
“In what way? Explain your declaritive statement. Thanks.”
Anyone who believes that a woman is automatically disqualified from being a head of state because she has “hormones” is an idiot. I guess she voted for Obama/Biden in 2008, since we couldn’t risk having a woman be a heartbeat away from the presidency. I guess she thinks Margaret Thatcher was just a hormonal puddle of tears, who was PMSing her way through office.
And anyone who declares that “I’m moving to Canada” when elections don’t go their way? I guess she’d prefer a country that’s more liberal, has universal health care, gay marriage and some rather loose marijuana laws.
That’s why I think she’s an idiot.
I disagree. However, I don't believe they should have gotten the vote without corresponding Constitutional provisions putting false, misleading, or duplicitous communications in the same category as physical violence.
Constitutionally, we are well protected from the predations common to men, as men were the framers and subjects of the Constitution. Unfortunately, the document is wholly inadequate for governing women with the same level of effectiveness.
Average man versus average woman I agree. BUT we elect individuals, not averages.
We shouldn’t be rejecting/accepting candidates outright for their skin color or sex.
I hate Hillary because she is a lying, thieving, screaming POS. NOT because she is a woman.
Thanks for the response.
Hormones aside, the very fact that the Constitution refers to the president in the masculine always seemed significant to me. I think they presupposed only males as president.
I agree with you. There are only a handful, and I do mean that, of women who could do the presidency. Hillary is not one of them. I’d hate to see what she’d do if she didn’t get her way. If we think Obama is a petulant childish tyrant, we haven’t seen anything yet. This writer makes a lot of sense.
I think Sarah Palin could do it, personally, but I think Ted would be better. It’s taken a year for me to come around to that, but putting personal likes and preferences aside, one wants a strong godly man in the position. Not saying that God might not use a woman here in America, but God uses women when there is no suitable male willing to step up. I’m sorta sick of the scandals and hype about everything. Under Hillary it would be nothing but the same old thing day in and day out. I pray that America is truly looking for a change!
I’ve worked in all-women environments, and I’ve worked in others that were mostly men.
I AM a woman.
And I have no problem saying that I would choose to work with men every time, without hesitation.
I don’t want a female president.
REALLY? That would include every man on FR. It would also include the man I married, and I will tell you that you don't know what the hell you're talking about.
“Sorry, you can’t have Palin, you’re stuck with Obama.”
“Nope, not Margaret Thatcher, but you can have Jimmy Carter.”
“But Golda Meir is a woman. How about Joe Biden instead?”
I’m not seeing a reason to automatically reject women. I do reject Hillary Clinton and other big government liberal women, but not because they’re women.
Exactly.
As they said about Indira Gandhi, “she was the only man in the Indian Cabinet”
Based on the experiences I have had, my answer would be a resounding no. Most women don’t have the constitution for it - that is not to say that all of them aren’t capable, just that most of them aren’t.
I believe there are some exceptional women who would make great presidents, it’s just that exceptional people (be they men or women) rarely if ever make it in politics because politics requires too much compromising of one’s ethics.
In today’s political atmosphere one has to sell their soul to get anywhere and get anything done in Washington.
Women in the aggregate vote for security in the short term for them and their children. It’s in the genes.
Well, you are very lucky if you located one. I have to say I think my uncle is one. But really, no joke, all the males around me have two things on their minds, money and sex. Period.
Yldstrk, men are hardwired to think about sex. Why disparage the masculine nature?
And BTW, it isn’t exactly natural for women to be frigid, either.
catherine, are you insulting me? What is your problem?
What, the last part of my post? No, it wasn’t intended for you personally.
I guess my problem is that I get tired of you constantly putting men down as a whole. It’s a very liberal trait, and I have little patience with it.
That's what Rosie and Ellen say.
