Why are college and university presidents so seldom women?

Because women refuse to play by the "Good Old Boys" code of ethics. (Or lack of ethics as the case may be!)\nWomen don't generally believe in giving someone a free ride into a good school because Dad or Grandpa graduated from there or were on the football team or the cool fraternity. \nWomen tend to think those who do the work, deserve the chance. \nMost colleges have this strange standard. As long as it is in place, there will be very few women in charge. \nIt all comes down to who's pockets get lined with green.

I would love to see a female president in the US, but I doubt this will happen for quite some time yet--certainly not in the next decade or two.  There're just too many pseudo-macho male types that would sooner chop of their--uh, inflated egos--then vote for a woman.  You just gotta give it time.  I myself am a newer upgrade of male--got enough self-esteem to circumvent that age-old "man's fear of woman" syndrome.  FYI, most men subconsciously fear women because they are in fact the superior model of human evolution now--replacing the male version which was more important when we had to fend off wild boars and such.  Technical evolution has created a higher human need for intelligence rather than strength.  Most men still favor the strength side which is why we have all of these dumb ar*e wars and regional conflicts--no where is this more evident than in the Middle East where women are treated little better than cattle.  All signs point to an evolution where men are no longer necessary but for one thing--ironically, this is the same philosphy men have applied towards women since the beginning of time.

We have our first Female speaker in the house. I feel that this is an important step to having a female president in the running. We need more women to balance out the good ole boy network that has been running for to long. A women as president would make other countries take another look at us. They would have to reconfigure their stand in dealing with the US. As long as she is sure and confident in her purpose she would be an asset to the Presidency.

Most countries are ruled by men, who need to be macho and prove their manhood. If more countries were ruled by women, there would be more negotiation.

I concur with the sentiments of the other people who have answered.  As long and the woman is qualified and not Hillary Clinton, then the U.S. is ready for a woman president.  I wouldn't mind seeing Condoleeza Rice and president.

This country is in no way ready for a woman president, and even if we were, the countries we deal with will probably never be. Look, if we have a woman president how will we ever get those sandy, archaic, third world countries to take us seriously, they don't even let their women show any skin, let alone make any decisions about anything important. If we had that loud mouth Hillary Clinton for president of our country, or any other woman for that matter, we would be the laughing stock of the entire world.

Men mature slower than women. Sorry to say, some boys are like that in college too. However, they do mature, sooner or later. It seems like they are so childlike because us girls have matured earlier so their acts seem childish.

As a general rule, women don't tend to feel the need for power like men do. I would welcome more women in politics. I noticed you mentioned the Bible here. There are a few good books that were edited out of the King James version, the most notable being the Gospel of Mary. Again, it was a male power issue. Mary was the disciple Jesus loved best of all. After the departure of Jesus, within the text, in Mary has been placed the authority of the church. That was unacceptable to the alpha-male dominated church. \n\nIt wasn't until 1920 that women even got the right to vote with AMENDMENT XIX to the Constitution. That gave them 150 years of male dominated government to overcome. It wasn't until the 1990s that the got the right to fight to defend their country.\n\nAfter being repressed for so many years, women need to rise up and fight. But keep in mind, issues are more important than party or sex, at least to most THINKING people.\n\nJust as an aside: There was a story on Good Morning America this morning about the first female Blue Angel pilot. They said they chose her based on her ability and not her sex. This bodes well...

In many countries women do get elected as president. In the USA, women are finally gaining the political power, experience, and visibility needed to take on the presidency. Someday soon we should have our first women president.

Because no female candidate has yet to supercede the popularity of a male candidate. Hilary intends to run in 2008\n\nhttp://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-8260059923762628848

I don't believe the US is ready for a woman president. Most men would not vote for one because feminist would use the "victory" to undermind men. Many men that say they wouldn't mind a female president only say so to please woman. To sound "sensative" and "considerate". Woman would not, because they trust men more than they do another women. Woman feel they know too well how other woman are very influenced by inconsitant and hardly controlable emotions and hormones. Most woman stil hold dear their femininity, motherhood, and nurturing. However, the likely female candidates feel woman with this mentality are "holding back the feminist movement". \n\nIn short, men will not vote for anyone that underminds their manhood and role, and woman will not vote for a woman that challenges their womanhood and seeks to reverse the God given roles of men and woman.

Because they don't have much female counterparts?

Traditionally our society has not allowed women to be a factor in politics, the economy etc. In this century it's all changing and women are overtaking men economically and may one day dominate in that area which would naturally allow them to achieve more political power. Someday women may lead society.

Because some people have good ideas, some have the ability to persuade others, some can make hard decisions easily. What sex you are doesn't enter into it. People with the aforementioned qualities should lead.

Answering as a political scientist, I have to say not in the near future with given voting trends.  Women may have the majority in voting, but they do not vote for other women typically.  Be it that they do not trust their own gender or another reason, women do not vote for women.  Men apparently are not as biased as women and will vote either way, but I do not see a real female candidate currently.  Clinton has too much baggage and Rice isn't that well known enough yet.
