Re: A Female President: Is America ready?
it's probably just an off-shoot of the fact that the US is pretty far behind the rest of the world when it comes to social change, something that probably stems from having such a long history of a fundamental Christianity ethos.
it seems to me that any time you've got a country with a strong religious heritage, be it Catholic or Protestant or Muslim or whatever, the impetus for change is going to be fought tooth and nail, and that applies to sexual morays and treatment of minorities and, well, almost anything.
there's probably a strong section of this country that would never vote for a woman--any woman--and that's just stupid, but it's the country we live in
