WTF? His last sentence is an argument that women and men should've equal rights, not that men should've more rights... Or does he mean that men _can_ live without women? In which case he is even more stupid than the rest of his post would indicate.
And actually, I don't know who is more EMOTIONAL, men or women, but of all groupings possible, Fundies are definetly the most IRRATIONAL!
With _possible_ exception of the inmates of asylums.
Someone actually wrote to our local newspaper (Letters to the Editor) stating that the Bible says that women should never have power over men. Therefore, women cannot be teachers if there is even one male in the classroom, should never be president, etc.
Gotta love our fundies.
"if we have had man as presidents all this time, then i don't see a way we could get a woman president"
And yet he can understand perfectly how water can be changed into wine, how the Red Sea can be parted, how dead people can be raised to life...

I don't know about you, but it doesn't seem like God has a problem with female leaders being elected in these countries. What makes you think the U.S. would be doomed if it joined the ranks?
Notice how some female leaders were elected more than once. I don't think they were re-elected for being "too emotional." Moron.
What Jeramyu said. Sometimes, "asking for directions" isn't a bad thing. :)
That said, though, I vote for people based on their qualifications. Not their gender. I kind of wish more people did that.
Just think of a careless woman president during her time of the month who ignores terrorist intelligence briefs or who carelessly makes the decision to go to war without credible evidence...Thank god we have a man at the helm and those two "hypothetical" situations would never happen.
And thank you for interpreting what you think god wants. We really don't get enough of that these days...
Following your logic, since there have been no black American presidents, Obama shouldn´t be one, to begin with. And by the way, talking about the emotional stuff, how is that that, being so "emotionall" they go through PREGNANCY and LABOUR?. Please, explain. Last, but not least, if men can live without women(if that´s what you really meant, anyway), why is that that they are worse off if single than their female counterparts?. And why is that women, not only live much longer, but also remarry less than men in case of widowhood and divorce?.
Confused?
