Is America Ready for a Woman President? Go to hell.

[ksmith]

Not the biggest fan of The Huffington Post, but I liked this:

When people write, "Is America ready for a female president?" they need to know how insulting that is to women. These are the doubt planters. Tell 'em to go to hell. They're not asking, they're undermining. If you want to make someone feel unwell, don't say, "You look terrible", because he'll immediately bounce back with, "I feel fine!" But if you ASK, if you say, "Do you feel all right?" the doubt sets right in. "Why? Why do you ask? What's wrong?" That's what they're doing. "Is America READY for a woman president?" "Why? What's going to happen??"

As long as the qualifier remains more important than the position, we're in trouble. Maybe we should be asking "Is America ready for another male president?"
