The female CEO of a Texas marketing company is under fire this week after saying that hormones and biblical sound reasoning should disqualify a woman from being president.
After Hillary Clintons Sunday announcement to run for president, Cheryl Rios of Go Ape Marketing posted her opinion on Facebook.
If this happens I am moving to Canada. There is NO need for her as she is not the right person to run our country but more importantly a female shouldnt be president. Let the haters begin but with the hormones we have there is no way we should be able to start a war, Rios wrote, per CBS Dallas.
Yes I run my own business and I love it and I am great at it BUT that is not the same as being the President, that should be left to a man, a good, strong, honorable man.

But seriously, Phyllis Schlafly makes the same point about a woman's place being in the home while she has spent her whole life working. Who are they trying to convince?

(12,017 posts)she was wrong even on that point. Deborah was a Judge appointed over Israel as seen in Chapters 4 and 5 of the book of Judges. After she lead battles against the enemies of Israel the tribe experienced 40 years of peace.
I guess maybe God screwed up since obviously women shouldn't be leaders because of their hormones...
