Are men better politicians than women? My guess is that the average, rational, non-sexist person would say, "No freaking way! Both genders are more than capable to be politicians." Well, too bad that such a substantial amount of people disagree.

In a recent survey, when presented with the statement, "Most men are better suited emotionally to politics than most women," 33% agreed.

What does that even mean? "Better suited emotionally"? Do they think that women are just going to break down crying when presented with a difficult task? Are they afraid we're going to get our menstrual blood all over the immaculate White House?

When presented with: "A preschool child suffers if his or her mother works," 41% agreed.

Because clearly, a child could never be taken care of by his/her father. And obviously, a woman can't juggle both work and family.

And on the statement, "It's God's will that women care for children," 31% agreed.

If that were true, I wonder why God created woman as a being who is strong, determined, and physically and emotionally capable of working hard, rather than as a brainless baby-maker with no goals and aspirations.

I don't know how much these views will affect the polls, because you have to keep in mind that most of the people who voted "yes" on these statements are very religious, namely Evangelicals, and their most important issue is abortion. They're going to vote for the party who believes that abortion is a crime, even if it means leaving the country in the hands of an emotionally unstable woman who should be home taking care of her children.
