Ok, I will grant you the military have experience when dealing with foriegn problems (not relations), diplomats do not a military experience make.

But, you have not said WHAT womanly insights women bring to politics that more than a man…care to elude jpe?

Are we now pejudicing politics in favor of one specific gender? By the way, your military anaolgy would have been pretty good, IF you were not talking about job experience vs gender.

It’s one thing to promote or support someone based on their experience, but to do so just because of gender, religous beliefs or the color of their skin is called something else….

And now I will stick my neck out and extrapolate from the above post.

Remember the stink from the comments of Jimmy the Greek? If you don’t know who he is, it’s a measure of how badly he got impaled due to comments regarding differences between the races. He was no orator, and there was a crassness in his verbiage, but it made me think about what differences are obvious (skin color, facial features, etc.) and wonder if perhaps there were other differences less noticeable. For example, if a test of ability was done using a massive sampling of three races, white, black and asian and the tests were math, science and perhaps reading, wouldn’t it seem logical that there’d be different strengths between the races? Maybe the asians always tests better in one subject, the black in another and the white in the remaining. So what? Superiority isn’t established, only the differences being defined and understood. Equality, however, would still exist. And it wouldn’t have to be subjects as listed, but maybe other areas of ability. Would it mean more than the differences between a short guy and a tall guy? Each of those have abilities the other doesn’t have due to their respective heights. Anyway, I was just thinking…
