CreateDebate is a social debate community built around ideas, discussion and democracy.
If this is your first time checking out a debate, here are some quick tips to help get you started:
Arguments with the highest score are displayed first.
Argument replies (both in favor and in opposition) are displayed below the original argument.
To follow along, you may find it helpful to show and hide the replies displayed below each argument.
To vote for an argument, use these icons:
You have the power to cast exactly one vote (either up or down) for each argument.
Once you vote, the icon will become grayed out and the argument's score will change.
Yes, you can change your vote.
Debate scores, side scores and tag scores are automatically calculated by an algorithm that primarily takes argument scores into account.
All scores are updated in real-time.
To learn more about the CreateDebate scoring system, check out the FAQ.
When you are ready to voice your opinion, use the Add Argument button to create an argument.
If you would like to address an existing argument, use the Support and Dispute link within that argument to create a new reply.
But seriously we did just fine with men running the country. Hell we created our government. Don't call me a pig I'm just giving credit where it belongs.
Perhaps that's because Woman weren't given an education, weren't allowed to run for office and weren't allowed to vote. That's the work of institutional discrimination, not men being superior.
Also, a note, asking to not be called a pig doesn't mean you aren't one. ;]
Look at my tag, I am not taking a clear side in this debate since I think the choice is largely erroneous. Throughout history we have had great male and female leaders, and gender is a non factor in my decision to support someone, or how I would look at them in regards of a leader.
But yes, if the situation were reversed and women held 95% of all government posts, due to institutional discrimination of the course of millenia, then yes -- it would be just as discriminatory.
I have said it before, I will ban somebody when they are disrespectful. You watch your tongue (er, fingers) before you call somebody a 'pig' again on one of my debates.
we are just really used to it. only because they think we are just really sesitiv (my sex is a girl.) so yes we should still do it. but bush really messed us up.
"If you had to chose one gender to rule the country, which would it be?"
You mean have a fully male Federal government (President, Senate, House and Supreme Court) and each office in State, County, City, Town, Fire and Water districts, Library and School Boards be held by males?
Well, I would not choose, nor need I. This is as necessary as deciding which species of other kinds of mammals I'd choose to rule the country.
Exactly. Women find a lot more to complain about but they actually do something about it- they see something wrong, they complain about it and then do something about it.
I am a girl, and i am a leader, but i fully admit that guys should be the leaders in our country. The are much easy to respect. I would vote for Sarah Palin if she ran because she stands up for things when other politicians don't have the guts to do and are there for there own reasons, not our countries needs. but, i would rather have a man, but with sarahs beliefs.
I think that it would be a good idea for a female to rule the country. Yes, Men are often the ones that are elected into government. Females never really get the credit for some of the things that they do around the country
I'd probably feel like less people would stab each other with women ruling things. Mainly because most men are quick to the trigger. Women however, are not unless their children are definitely in danger.
Since I am a male, it may seem obvious to select male, but if I think about it, for the most part, male has done a generally decent job, but they also have messed things up. WARS!!! If females ruled the world, many wars probably would have been avoided.
Men are obsessed with war.
"To me, war is a lot of prick-waving! OK? Simple thing. That's all it is. War is a whole lot of men standing out on a field, waving their pricks at one another. Men are insecure about the size of their dicks, and so they have to kill one another over the idea. That's what all that asshole jock bullshit is all about. That's what all that adolescent, macho male posturing, and strutting in bars and locker rooms is all about. It's called "dick fear!" Men are terrified that their pricks are inadequate and so they have to compete with one another, to feel better about themselves, and since war is the ultimate competition, basically, men are killing each other in order to improve their self-esteem!
You don't have to be a historian or a political scientist to see the bigger-dick foreign policy theory at work. It sounds like this: "What, they have bigger dicks? Bomb them!" And of course, the bombs and the rockets and the bullets are all shaped like dicks. It's a subconscious need to project the penis into other people's affairs. It's called "fucking with people!" --George Carlin
To anyone who calls woman weak or sensitive I point you to Joan of Arc and Margaret Thatcher, two of the worlds toughest leaders both in battle and in diplomacy.

Well, I would not choose, nor need I. This is as necessary as deciding which race of space aliens I'd choose to rule the country.
I'd have to say i'd choose females to rule the country if i had to choose one gender. Only because males are ruling at the moment and i wouldn't say they're doing a great job- switch things up and have females ruling if we were forced to choose between the two genders.
However, I've read that many women are believed to not get caught. Women often make the most vicious, and yet subtle, killers, they kill their husband and children.
I don't think you understood me. I meant that, as a male, my testosterone is influencing me to destruction - and if the only means to get that was by electing a male, all the most reason that I would do so.
It's not a matter of wanting or needing to change it, it's a matter of saying that a female can do the job just as well as a male can. I have addressed the reasons for greater male representation, and the supposed 'superiority' of males in this area is unfounded and certainly not a valid argument.
Are female is less psychologically stable than a male. I was just reading some of the works of psychologist Chris Ferguson, and he says that many psychologists believe females are essentially irrational and cannot be held accountable for actions done during the following:
