content with inferior menthere are some theorists that saythat women need to be able to look up to a man in order to feel complete. these theorists would say that a woman could not be president, at least not on a personal level. think of it - here is a woman, the most important person on earth, and she would never know of anyone who had more power than her. how could she look up to any man? how could she admire any man? how could she respect any man? and you know, i can kind of see that point, how can you love someone you don’t respect, i mean, i want someone in my life that can teach me something, that can help me grow, and if i was the most powerful person on earth i would probably think that no one could teach me anything. but the only thing i could think of in response to this theory is, why don’t men who are the presidents of the united states of america find themselves unhappy with their boring, unequal, supportive wives? why is it that men are content with inferior women but women aren’t content with inferior men?
