It wouldn't be any different coz WOMEN RULE THE WORLD!\nI am serious!\nBehind every successful man is a woman! This is really true.\nWomen dont like to be in the limelight I guess. They push men to slog and work and be successful so that women can enjoy all the luxuries!! Isnt that awesome!

Most other industrialized nations have had or have women in presidential-like roles, so it wouldn't be a big deal. i too think it is time for a woman to be president, but not condeleeza (i'm bush as a woman) rice

Great question!  I believe that we should never elect someone based on gender, but rather on their platform.  However, I think a woman would bring  a unique perspective to our country.  I think a woman will be elected president at some point, and I can't wait to see how it plays out.

Just about anybody would be better than who we have now.  I do think a woman would be less likely to pull the trigger on war, but once she did watch out because she would be out to win.\n\nI also believe that she may be more interested in solving family issues like lack (and cost of) healthcare, especially for children.

Women are Women, the only difference is WHO they are. So to answer your question---NO.

Yes.\nUnfortunately, a woman President would have to deal with a world mostly controlled by men. I know that the general belief is that women are emotional and men are logical - but that is not so.\nWar is emotional, rape, murder, beating up on your family. Wouldn't you call that emotional? Yes it is, it is just different from how women express emotion.\nWhen a war ends the powers that be talk - a woman president would be able to talk and by pass the whole war and voilent emotional tendancies men use. \nAgain though, with a male oriented civilization - men would never comprehend talking rather than killing.\nIf killing is logical, then it explains why our world is so screwed up. We should come up with Anti-Vigra pills... And something for women who keep going along with this 'Women are too emotional' bull. Cattiness is childish - grow up...

one of the things you have to consider is the problem that muslums do not believe in women's rights, so therefore there would be a serious unrest in the middle east, and countries with women in power would not be able to have any foriegn relations with those countries, i don't know if the world could be anymore peacefull because of a gender difference, because women have always fought for more rights and freedom on the platform of equality, so if we are all equal there would not be a difference in peace, now if i didn't feel like taking this question seriously i would deffinently tell you NO WAY pms would ruin the world...lol, j/k

I don't, but you know what I dint think men and women should be equal.  There are certain levels of equality I would like to see that others may not agree with such as a woman president, and so forth. I mean hey who knows they may actually make a great president.  I do that think some of our feminist leaders are defiantly going over bored.  As far as asking for to much, I would need an example but other than that, yes I would agree that their a little outspoken and unable to back themselves up.

The answer is NO for historical reasons. It is not like women were never leaders before.\n\nEvery time in history when a Woman was elevated to as status of Ruler of Nation she behaved in exactly the same way -- a man would! \nMeaning, she ruled as she so fit -- she was nice sometimes and was ruthless when the circumstances were right.\n\nConsider: \nElizabeth I of England sponsored pirates to terrorize ships of other nations(Francis Drake) and started Anglo-Spanish War. \n\nGolda Meir of Israel authorized the Mossad to kill Black September in retaliation of 1972 Olympics massacre. She also  showed ruthlessness in conducting the Yom Kippur war.\n\nCatherine II of Russia initiated numerous Russo-Turkish Wars and annexed Crimea. \n\nMore recently Margaret Thatcher was known as "Iron Lady." She also  "punished" the unionists which led to Anglo-Irish War.\n\nSo women have demonstrated ability to be as violent and tyrannical as men -- so giving them the rule will not really change much-- ther would still be wars murder and destruction.

Yes, I honestly do believe there will be a woman president.  Not because she's a woman though, and not because she may or may not be riding on the coattails of her husband the former president.  It's really inevitable.  And the people that reference countries like England, it doesn't really compare, 1. because they're used to a ruling woman with the monarchy and 2. we're a relatively young country compared to European ones.  Not that that's an excuse, but the country obviously hasn't been ready for it!  Also, no women have stepped up to run!  The closest we've gotten was Geraldine Ferraro, and she was running with that imbecile Mondale!  I hope people don't vote for a woman just because she's a woman and I hope that a "block" as one answerer mentioned does not result in an election of a specific type of individual.  A woman will win when she has the principles and values that the majority of Americans will vote for and she actually RUNS for President!!  PS - I am a woman, and would like to see it, but I wont vote for one just because of that!

Yes, absolutely. Men and women are different and together we amount to greater than the sum of its parts. When women try to do the things that men are better at and men try to do the things that women are better at, all of society opperates LESS efficiently, and everyone suffers, especially children. And since we all know that children are the future, society slowly decays as a result.

If there are more women than men it can't be by very much\nstatistically. Historically speaking,men have dominated women\nbecause of greater physical strength. Things are changing,\nthough,maybe some day sexual equality will be a reality.\nWe probably won't see it-not to the full extent anyway.\nGive it a hundred years.

Because they do it better. They can miltitask and take more pride in what they do. if the world was ruled by women, there would be no more wars.

Both women are intelligent and astute, or they wouldn't be where they are.  Men have led for over 200 years and look where we are.  Why not a woman for President?

Contrary to popular belief, women can be as violent and war-like as men.  There are many examples of this in history and in recent news to back-up the claim.  Women and men can be equally bad, and equally good.\nSo the answer to your question is it would depend on who the woman was, what her abilities and ethics were.  Leadership skills have nothing to do with genitalia.

Woman do rule the world, in our own way. Have you ever heard the saying, behind a great man there is a good woman. Think about it.

I can't think of ONE woman qualified to hold the office of President.  Come to think of it...there aren't to many men either....\nThis race will be an interesting one!
