Women are too emotional for politics!

I have heard people express similar sentiments myself. It is not a logical stance. Women are not "all" one way or another. Many women are quite capable of being president, or holding any other position of power that they seek. Brook Hogan may be too emotional, and definitely not qualified in many other areas either, I am also very emotional, but so are many men. I have a sister-in-law who told me she doesn't think "we are ready for a female president." To which I inquired her reasons for believing that. She looked completely incredulous and said, "Because, she would have to be in charge of the military, you know!" I wonder what that has to do with anything? Did she think it would take physical strength to be in charge? Making generalizations about anyone, based on gender, is a mistake. We are all individuals, with many talents, strengths and weaknesses. We already have many women in politics who are very proficient in their areas. It is only a matter of time before we have our first female president.

Have a look at this girl's family, friends, and lifestyle. No, that particular woman is not suited for politics. The rest of us are as stable, as capable, as discerning and as intelligent as any man!

I saw that, too. My daughter and I just shook our heads. It just goes to prove that money may buy a lot of things, but it can't buy brains. From what I've seen of the Hogan family, brains are not much of a commodity. I can't believe (but do belive it) that anyone has such backward ideas in the year 2008. I don't have as much trouble believing it of somewhere like Afghanistan or Iran, but women and girls in the United States should know better. A quote for you: [b]Aung San Suu Kyi, Nobel Peace Prize Laureate, leader of Burma's democracy movement: The education and empowerment of women throughout the world cannot fail to result in a more caring, tolerant, just and peaceful life for all.[/b] And yes, I have seen comments from women here on myLot expressing their disdain for women involved in politics. I've seen them question other women who express a need for women's liberation. I just put it all down to stupidity about life, about earning a living and about women's history in general.

i dont think women are too emotional to be in politics. i think it would be great to have them. they are more loyal, disciplined and honest. they are more strict and approachable. theres got to be no man or woman with regards to politics. the question there is that if one can handle the work well then that would be better.

I beg to disagree that women can't be involved with politics. It might be true that women are more emotional than men but I think we are more motivated to prove ourselves than men do. Not all women will cry in and be happy the next minute. I think it's a case to case basis. Some women are tough and can make men follow them. And I think those kind of women are increasing each day. So basically, women has every right to be in wherever sector they would want to be.

oh my goodness. i actually saw her show when she said that and i was appalled (though not surprised). i think she's quite ignorant and says things to catch some attention. i remember that when she said that whole rant about women and politics she was with her friend and a potential roommate who did enjoy politics and she appeared so ignorant. using that as a basis, i don't think she should be looked up to by the youth, or anybody at all for that matter. GROSS.

Whoa!!! Again, 21st century people - have we learned nothing!!! It really makes me sad (disgusted and angry) to hear young women speak like this!! If anything, haven't we learned as a country that MEN haven't been doing it right!!!??? :-) Get over it youngsters (and MCPs), women are gaining power and DOING IT RIGHT!!!!!

Would you like to ask that same question to the Secretary of State of the United States, Condoleezza Rice? Or to any of the women currently serving in the Congress or on the Supreme court? I think Brooke Hogan is a very pampered and immature young woman who definitely does not belong in politics but her opinions on the abilities of other, strong and educated women do not impress me at all.

I think that Brooke shouldnt really go commenting for all of the women in the world. My guess is that shes offended a whole bunch of highly succesful women. And lets face it, shes not so succesful herself, so she cant knock other peoples job titles! I sooo dont agree with her!

if you really think so, then you aer wrong friend. because most of the women who entered politics have made it too big for any man to even think about it. they are ruling the countries in almost all the places they have contested. only some are too weak at heart.

I don't know her (Brooke) but I sure do know a lot of women who are in the field of politics. One of my aunt's a former congresswoman and at present, a governor in her province. I've worked with a number of lady mayors and my country has had two female presidents. Their being women has enhanced their ability to govern. Extreme and sudden emotional shift does not just happen with women but also in men. Women doesn't have monopoly over moodiness and if that situation arises, that necessitates professional help.

Beacuse womens are mentali not stronge

I agree. Some case shows that women too emotional to run for office or even vote. Event result of study or research shows that women have right brain too much.

Given the source of this comment, I don't think I would want her to run for office, or even vote. But, the vast majority of women could run this country just as good as men, if not better. There are many countries that have had female leaders, and they flurished under them. To say that women are to emontional is like say that men are to pig headed. Yes, we all have flaws, but that doesn't mean that our flaws dictate ones ability to lead.

What a shame. I used to live in the same neighborhood as Hulk Hogan in Florida and often saw him and his wife and kids in the stores or buying gas. He always had his "Christian athlete" cap on and was so nice to the kids. My son has a picture taken with him when he (my son) was only 3. He loved that picture and took it to show and tell in preschool. Anyway, it does surprise me that his daughter would say that. Women have been great politicians in other countries for years - like in the UK and India. And they've been actively involved in politics on the local levels for many, many years, plus in congress and in the President's cabinet. Perhaps Hulk's daughter needs a bit more education about all of that.

I read this at PerezHilton a few days ago. To me it just sounded stupid. She even mentioned about having PMS or stuff like that. Women can rule. For someone like her who knows less about politics, she should have shut her mouth. I'd say totally gratuitous coming from her.

I totally disagree. Men can be just as emotional as women. Women are just typically more verbal with it. I am a woman and I am not too emotional for anything. Hogan's daughter is just an idiot; the whole family are idiots.

For one thing, I think the Hogan family is complete trash. Trash that was introduced to wealth, but will still always be complete trash in the long run. I think women could be in politics, I myself am in politics, and I am very passionate about it all. Emotional or not, it's good to be involved, and wouldn't you want your politician to have emotions... The emotionless ones end up like Hitler etc. Anyways, women and men should both have the same abilities to do what they want in politics, we should all get involved. I myself am a woman and I go to rallies and I have met a few politicians. It all started when I was little, I met George Bush Sr. at my brothers graduation (I don't like him though haha), and I have met my favorite politician, Ron Paul, who ran for president twice, last time being in this election . But anyways, women are just as entitled to be in politics as men. We're capable of a lot of things.

Some one is a gifted politician, but most of us are not. Actually we can't always choose the position we like most. We decide by all conditions, nature is only one of them. And things change all the time. Today we can't definitely tell how much we will change tomorrow.

kwkw Someone think that woman can't do what man do.But this days some woman don't think so.They try theri best to show that they can do man do.I think if i want to do what i will do and i think i can do it better or do it better than that man \\if you have the same fellimg you should do
