Jed 7,716 Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 "(ABC News)- The CEO of a small marketing firm in Dallas is defending a private Facebook post that declared "a female shouldn't be president," noting "hormones" and other arguments. Cheryl Rios, CEO of Go Ape Marketing, posted on her Facebook page in response to Hillary Clinton's announcement on Sunday that she's vying for the Democratic presidential nomination. "If this happens -- I am moving to Canada," Rios' post read. "There is NO need for her as she is not the right person to run our country - but more importantly a female shouldn't be president. Let the haters begin . . . but with the hormones we have there is no way we should be able to start a war. 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." After a barrage of criticism, Rios defended her statement via Twitter. In an extended post late Tuesday, Rios wrote: "Will say this and leave it at that. I believe in what I believe. In this great country we are allowed our own opinions. Mine may be something you don't agree with, and so be it. I am old fashioned, I am Christian and believe what I have said. "I didn't say that women should be abused, or that they are stupid or can't be lawyers, doctors or run successful businesses, I fully know and support that they can as I have done that. I mentioned one position only the Head of our government, the Head of State, the Commander in Chief, the President. With that, please stop the nastiness as it wasn't meant in that light. Peace, Love and Happiness." Rios could not be reached for comment."http://13wham.com/news/features/top-stories/stories/ceo-female-shouldnt-president-21853.shtml The comments section on the Facebook page I found this on (my local news station) is just as cringeworthy as this woman's opinion.

Goosey 3,017 Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 It's an interesting theory. What does the science say? "I am the world's greatest person that does not want to let people into the country."—US President Donald J. Trump Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jed 7,716 Posted April 15, 2015 Author Share Posted April 15, 2015 It's an interesting theory. What does the science say?I don't know specifically but history has shown that she would be wrong. I mean how many wars/genocides have been started by men in power?Also, Margaret Thatcher went into the Falklands war and came out victorious, beating Argentina even though much of her staff thought she was a fool for going into it. This stems from the "women are unstable/hysterical because they get periods" misconception. Unfortunately women have been looked at like this for so long that it's become "fact" and people use it as a reason why women shouldn't be in charge. It's all veiled misogyny that built up over time, nothing more nothing less. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kayla 7,595 Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 There were people butthurt about having a female official in the NFL- I'm not surprised even more people are behind on the times regarding who can handle a presidency. This buffoon of a woman insists that our hormones will make us unsuitable for going to war? I'd rather put someone who cares more about education, equality, and environment in the office than someone who can fight another country anyways- male or female.

xoxo cupcakke 4,781 Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 I don't get it. My sisters laugh at the thr notion of Hillary being president simply because she is female and other females whom I have spoken with either believe the same or are so unsure Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd rather put someone who cares more about education, equality, and environment in the office than someone who can fight another country- male or female. Exactly. I wish we could all just vote for the best candidate, not the best male candidate. Like, if there's a woman who can do it better and a man who will do it well but not as well she should be selected.. Unfortunately some people don't share that sentiment. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThisGuyTony 35,176 Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 "If this happens -- I am moving to Canada," No you ain't bit-h. Of course she can have her opinion about whether she agrees or disagrees with Hilary but I get fed up with people who say that if "so and so" becomes president they're moving to Canada. Like shut the f--k up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vernier 3,786 Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 Before opening the thread, I read "CEO" and I thought surely she wont be ridiculous enough to use the "hormone" argument, then she did And I doubt hormones affect the policies a female politician has. Frankly my dear, I don't give a damn Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like If you think you'll like Canada more than your conservative ass Texas (not all parts of texas are republican but that's the majority) then you've got another thing coming.

Swan Heart 7,382 Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 Ugh, people pay waaay too much attention to gender and tend to give it credit where there's isn't really.. It's actually annoying me so much... They say it's the last song. They don't know us, you see. It's only the last song if we let it be. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bear 7,515 Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 I'm not female so I can't be certain, but I am of the belief that just because someone gets a period doesn't mean they become some wild warmongering fiend There are so many people making out that the difference between women on and off their period is like a Jekyll and hyde transformation Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
