Hilary Clinton splits country at the seams

We are one of the few major countries in the world that has never had a woman chief executive. Right now Chile, Ireland, Finland and Liberia have women presidents, and countries like Iceland, the Philippines, Argentina, Nicaragua, and Ecuador have had women leaders in the past.
Many may not know that Hilary Clinton is not the first woman presidential candidate. In fact, there have been twelve woman presidential candidates in the United States since 1872. Almost 25 years have passed since a woman has been in position of major political prominence.
Hilary Clinton is running her campaign based on her ideals. She is trying to make herself more appealing to both sides of the political spectrum. Head to head with Barack Obama for the Democratic nomination in the 2008 presidential election, people are open to embracing a woman president.There are 146 million men and 151 million women in the United States, and there is a larger woman voter turn out every year in the polls. How do Sacred Heart students feel abot a female president? "Not good," said junior Nate Huot. Anything from ignorance or acceptance of woman's stereotype of being irrational may be the roots of people's reasoning. Some student's voiced it is not an issue of gender. "I have a lack of faith in Hilary, but not women as a whole," said junior Pat Bonner. Are we ready as a country to embrace a woman as our leader? Is it wise to have the first woman in U.S. history put into office in a time of war? Hilary has proven her leadership skills as the first American first lady to ran for public office and win. Clinton became the first female senator from New York. However, people still seem hesitant to have a woman president, regardless of their sex."Having a woman president would not be good right now, especially not Hilary. She would let her emotions get the best of her instead of doing what's right for our country," said junior Stephanie Ciccone. "Clinton won't do a profound job and a woman will be too emotional to handle a country in a time of war," said junior Christina Klepper. If the majority of women do not feel confident in a woman president, how can the U.S. elect a woman president?
There are many countries that have women as their leaders, and the countries are functional and prosperous.
What sets our nation apart from the rest of the world that makes us not confident in a woman president?
The reason may lie in our culture, and perhaps it is a sex barrier we have set as a nation.
Will having a female president everhappen if it doesn't happen with Clinton?
Will our nation continue in a male driven society? Once again our country is split apart by beliefs.
