Women in the White House?
This part was my favorite:
I am big on biology, and despite what radical feminists say, women's natural inclination, generally speaking, is toward nurturing. Nurturing is a necessary and noble quality, but it's not high on my list of desired leadership qualities.
We all know how incompatible and downright challenging raising children and working can be. Women do it all the time; that doesn't mean they should or that it's good for families. In my lay opinion, women careerists have a dilemma. On the one hand, most want to marry and have children. On the other hand, many want to rise in their respective companies. One can do both, but it's doubly difficult. (And children, regardless of what they may tell you, like having mothers there when they come home from school.)
Men, whose bodies aren't designed and timed to bear children, needn't worry about so-called biological clocks or pregnancy or breast feeding. They get married, support their families, and do what men are designed to do: provide and protect.

Those are good points. Women also have menstrual cycles, which lead to PMS and eventually menopause. During pre-menstrual syndrome, pregnancy, post-pregnancy and menopause, our biology proves us to be a "weaker vessel." We have mood swings, sickness, and a variety of other physical weaknesses that men do not have to think about. I don't know about the rest of America, but I sure don't want a woman president who's PMSing or going through menopause to be making national decisions that affect my family and country! Women have inherrant "weak" times, thanks to how God created us, and while these ailments are wonderful ways to lean on our Creator, Who made us and knows us well, they do not contribute to someone who wants to be a Commander-in-Cheif of a nation!
Christine, the comment I was going to make was exactly along the lines of yours! You said it very well! (And I love how you stated that women have "weak" times THANKS to how God created us. The complex biology of our bodies are miracles and blessings, especially since WE are given to ability to be givers of life.)
Crystal, thanks for bringing this up on your blog. It was a terrific piece to read.
