Like I said, it's not a drastic difference. I could just see how others would be put off by it. As in, not me.
I would have no problem voting for a woman if I agreed with her platforms. Hilary is not one of those women.
I don't see why I'm getting interrogated here.

because, you obviously believe there is a case to answer if you can understand why other people might be put off. your "understanding" suggests you see merit in what they are thinking, even if you dont particularly agree.

Think about the women your average American man knows, dates or is married to. They're the representation of the female sex for those people. Chances are, you wouldn't want to vote for a person if you think they behaved in the same manner as the average American woman.
Not logical, I know.

Actually, you're quite right. Any outcome with Bill back in the White House is not a good one. Hilary could be in the UN pleading a national cause while Bill's getting a lube job in the Oval Office.

"Different mental makeup," sure. But why do people assume that "different" necessarily means "worse for politics?"

You got emus down there right? Always wondered if they're like an ostrich or WTF. They use it in the crosswords here quite often.
