5. Women have been enabling male-oriented misogynist culture since the early days of society.

I've known seemingly intelligent women who say "a woman can't be president."

One friend in particular was the property manager at my previous residence. She was a southern belle type in her manner and attitudes. She was a take-charge, ultra-competent, and efficient administrator. I admired her work ethic and effectiveness. When she said that to me, my jaw dropped because I'd have thought she'd make a great president.

She has a cadre of female friends who felt the same way.

Some women ruin it for the rest of them -- for the rest of all of us. We need more female leaders.

(My wife was CEO of a 20-person company she created.)
