18. Do you ever notice that most of these women appear scum right wing conservative Southernors?
Now I do hear some liberal southern women on CSPAN and thanks for that, but the looney scum right wing southern women appear batshit crazy.

6. Or the Iron Maiden - Margaret Thatcher
Not that I approved of her politics but everybody took her seriously.

12. Or Elizabeth Tudor, or Isabella Trastamara, or Boudicea,
or Sophie Friederike Auguste von Anhalt-Zerbst (Catherine the Great) and Elizabeth of Russia, Cleopatra, or Maria Christina Alexandra (Queen Christina of Sweden)...

You get my drift.

Some people are just plain ignorant.

17. Or Hatshepsut...
When people talk about whether America is 'ready' for a woman president, I point out that we had a pretty good and popular woman president over 400 years ago. Of course Good Queen Bess, according to the custom of the times, won her position through birth rather than election - but the same is true of a certain male American president right now.

21. Yes, her birth put her in line for the throne. But she had to fight for
it all the way. She was one tough cookie and one of the greatest monarchs the world has ever seen.

And yep, I forgot Hatshepsut.

13. New Zealand, Chile and Liberia, too.

That's pretty scary that someone (especially a woman) would say something like that. It's breathtaking (in a bad way).

3. how sick are these people
do they know there are other countries around the world way ahead of us and they do have a woman in a leadership role, (how sad and how uninformed, these people are).

10. only 5% of countries
around the world have a woman leader.

The whole planet is still in the Dark Ages.

16. Where was this caller from?
Anyone remember the general area this caller was from? I have my suspicions. The most anti-woman idiotic calls are 9 times out of 10 from the south. I say this as someone living in GA.
