Should A Woman Be Allowed to hold the office of President of the USA?


Recommended Posts


Paragraphs, as if it isn't long enough.  NO, didn't bother reading as the title is silly enough.  Plenty of the world's country leaders have been women, and just as good or bad as men.

 

The BIBLE ... now that's funny :cheesy:

Probably not.

They are generally lazy and too emotional. And lack the intellect to handle large sums of money or problem solve.

 

There has been a few in the past in some countries. It has always been a complete disaster.

 

They should be banned.

You mean like these dizzy bints as opposed to the likes of Pol Pot, Mao, Hitler, Stalin, Pinochet, Johnson, Netanyahu, Putin, Trump..........et al

 

While some of the female leaders mentioned faced significant challenges or controversies, others are also recognized for notable achievements during their time in power. Let’s look at some who, despite criticism or difficulties, are often considered to have had successful tenures in certain respects:

 

1. Indira Gandhi (India, 1966–1977, 1980–1984)

 

• Successes: Indira Gandhi is regarded as one of India’s most powerful leaders. Under her leadership:

• She oversaw India’s victory in the 1971 war with Pakistan, which led to the creation of Bangladesh.

• She initiated the Green Revolution, which significantly increased India’s agricultural productivity and made the country more self-sufficient in food production.

• Her efforts in maintaining India’s non-aligned movement during the Cold War are often seen as a significant diplomatic achievement.

• Challenges: Her declaration of Emergency (1975-1977) remains one of the most criticized decisions of her career, but her political comeback in 1980 showed her resilience.

• Legacy: Indira Gandhi is often remembered as a strong and influential leader despite her controversial policies.

 

2. Benazir Bhutto (Pakistan, 1988–1990, 1993–1996)

 

• Successes: Benazir Bhutto, the first woman to lead a Muslim-majority country, brought hope for a more modern, democratic Pakistan. Her significant accomplishments include:

• Expanding healthcare and women’s rights: Bhutto worked to improve access to healthcare, particularly maternal and child healthcare, and promoted women’s education and participation in politics.

• Standing against military dictatorship: Bhutto’s return to Pakistan after her father was executed by a military regime symbolized a restoration of civilian government and democracy.

• Challenges: Her administration was plagued by allegations of corruption and political instability, leading to her removal from office twice.

• Legacy: Though her legacy is mixed, Bhutto remains a powerful symbol of resistance against authoritarianism, and her advocacy for democracy is seen as a success by many.

 

3. Aung San Suu Kyi (Myanmar, 2016–2021)

 

• Successes: Aung San Suu Kyi’s leadership was initially hailed as a democratic breakthrough for Myanmar after decades of military rule.

• She played a pivotal role in Myanmar’s transition from military dictatorship to a quasi-democratic government.

• Her work as a pro-democracy activist, which earned her the Nobel Peace Prize in 1991, and her leadership in the National League for Democracy (NLD) won her widespread support at home and abroad.

• Challenges: Her failure to address or condemn the military’s persecution of the Rohingya minority seriously damaged her international reputation, leading to widespread criticism.

• Legacy: While Suu Kyi’s human rights record is now viewed critically, her role in promoting democracy in Myanmar and standing up to military dictatorship remains a significant achievement in the country’s history.

 

4. Dilma Rousseff (Brazil, 2011–2016)

 

• Successes: Despite the controversy surrounding her impeachment, Rousseff’s tenure saw some important successes:

• She continued and expanded social welfare programs, such as Bolsa Família, which helped lift millions out of poverty.

• Rousseff also promoted gender equality and was a strong advocate for environmental protections and renewable energy.

• Challenges: The economic downturn during her second term and her involvement in the broader political corruption scandals (though she was not directly implicated in personal corruption) severely damaged her standing.

• Legacy: While her impeachment overshadows much of her presidency, she remains an important figure in Brazil’s progressive movement, and some of her social programs have had a lasting impact.

 

5. Theresa May (United Kingdom, 2016–2019)

 

• Successes: Despite the difficulties surrounding her tenure, especially related to Brexit, May achieved some important milestones:

• She oversaw a significant decrease in the national deficit.

• May also focused on tackling domestic violence and passed the landmark Domestic Abuse Bill to better protect victims of abuse.

• She worked to address the social divide by advocating for policies aimed at reducing the gender pay gap.

• Challenges: Her inability to deliver a Brexit deal that satisfied both pro-Brexit and pro-EU factions severely undermined her government.

• Legacy: While May is remembered for the difficulties surrounding Brexit, her domestic achievements in social welfare and gender equality are viewed as positive contributions.

 

6. Angela Merkel (Germany, 2005–2021)

 

• Successes: Merkel is widely regarded as one of the most successful and influential female leaders in modern history. Her tenure as Germany’s chancellor is often praised for:

• Steadying the Eurozone during the 2008 financial crisis and the subsequent European debt crisis.

• Championing humanitarian values by opening Germany’s doors to over a million refugees during the migrant crisis of 2015, despite facing backlash.

• Leading Germany through multiple economic successes, making it Europe’s largest economy.

• Being a key leader in the European Union, Merkel was often seen as the de facto leader of the EU, promoting stability and cooperation.

• Challenges: Merkel faced criticism for her refugee policy, which some felt led to social and political unrest, but her overall legacy remains largely positive.

• Legacy: Merkel is frequently hailed as a global leader of stability, pragmatism, and moderation, earning her a place among the most successful female leaders in history.

 

While each of these leaders had their challenges, many of them are remembered for significant achievements that shaped their nations and even the world. Leaders like Indira Gandhi, Benazir Bhutto, and Aung San Suu Kyi made major strides toward democracy and social progress in their countries, even if their legacies are complicated by later controversies.

This is a question that the entire world is afraid to ask in this day and age of women's rights and gender equality; but in my estimation, it is the "elephant in the room" so far as this upcoming election is concerned. I am a Christian, and in the Christian ethos a woman would not be allowed to hold that office. The Holy Scriptures make it perfectly clear that there is a line of authority in God's Kingdom, and a woman is not to have spiritual authority over a man. The Head of the woman is the man, and the Head of man is Jesus Christ. This goes for marriage and the household and even in the church where women are not to hold the position of Deacon or Pastor and having spiritual authority over the men. I simply cannot imagine that God would bless a woman and her nation when the population goes against the Laws of God and elects a woman as President. HE will only work within His own framework of authority. We all know intuitively that having a woman as Commander in Chief is just not natural, and I firmly believe that a nation will never be blessed when a woman is in charge.

 

If you follow politics at all, you will see that our House and Senate are filled with women who are at odds with everything that is good and Godly for our country. They simply don't have the wisdom that is required to fulfill the calling to these higher offices. Even King Soloman, the richest and wisest man in his time, said that in all his dealings he never met a wise woman. The only thing that could be worse than having a woman as the leader of any nation would be to have a boy king, and historically that has been proven time and time again. I am deeply concerned for the direction that our country is headed, and I am totally convinced that if a woman is elected as President of the USA, then we will have done a grave injustice to ourselves.

 

I am certain that I will receive tremendous pushback on this which only goes to show how we have been deceived by the rise of feminism over the past decades. There was a time in history when the Christian churches even preached on this topic from the pulpits of America, and it would have been unheard of to elect a woman as President. Sadly, in this age even the churches have been intimidated by the secular culture and are deathly afraid of being called out and cancelled for standing firm on this topic. Preachers are all but silent on the matter.....being afraid of losing their positions and having their church's non-profit status removed by the government and even being closed down for going against the culture and propagating so-called hate speech and intolerance. God's Word is the same yesterday, today and forever more, and HE is unchanging. For me, this is not a matter of opinion, but it's a question of obedience to God. As for me and my house, we will always serve the Lord and put Him and HIS WORD first in all of our decisions. 

 

In support of my position, I offer for your consumption an article that will explain my point further and offer Scripture references to support my claim.

Golda Meir, Maggie Thatcher. Two women who were at the top of their political game when they became Prime Minster of their respective countries!. So No you are 100% wrong.

 

 A time of Christian Misogyny when they came up with that one! lol.

Thank you for your comment CharlieKo! Actually, it's not a matter of ability and the will of the people, but a call to obedience and the Will of God for our nation. Certainly, over the span of history there have been women leaders who have been held up as being top female leaders with outstanding accomplishments; but the question remains, would the country have been better off having the favor of God on them instead of having God take a back seat and turn HIS face away from them? When you study these so-called accomplishments, they are for the most part policy advancements that are totally against the Will of God for any nation. Having a male leader with a heart that leans to the Will of God and who is willing to take a firm stand for righteousness in any country....this is a country that will prosper and enjoy the favor of God for the sake of the elect of God. If God's people continue to be apathetic and not forcefully reject a woman for the Presidency, you will see the USA fall into total chaos. When we sat on our laurels and allowed a female to be second in command, that was only the beginning of sorrows for our nation.
