Note: Before reading the following arguments, please understand that they are not what I believe. On Wednesdays, I deliberately argue for wrong ideas, challenging my listeners to call and defend the obvious right answer, which is usually far harder than one would expect. This is a summary of what Wacky Andrew will be arguing, not a representation of what real Andrew believes.
~There’s a lot of men who will say they would vote for a woman but wouldn’t in reality. And they might not even be lying, they think they would, but they wouldn’t.
~You get selected for VP largely because you’re a woman as a political maneuver rather than because you are the most qualified to serve as the VP.
~Why do women earn so much less than men? Is it entirely because of sexism?
~Are there so few women in leadership because women can’t lead or because men don’t want to be led by a woman?
~I’d only vote for a good mother, but if she’s a good mother, she wouldn’t be leaving her children to run for office, right?
~Politicians have to do nasty, awful, horrible things…things that are inherently contrary to being feminine. Do you consider Margaret Thatcher feminine?
~Would you want a pregnant President?
~Aren’t we supposed to be the protectors of women? I don’t want to see women exposed to what happens in politics because that harms them and women in general as it becomes acceptable to attack women the way we do men.
~Undermines the natural and very important function of men in wanting to and being able to protect women.
~Why should a woman, who cannot be forced to go to war, be commander in chief?
~What if the President’s husband gives her an instruction of some kind? Isn’t she supposed to submit to him?
~God gave sovereignty in the home and the church to men. How likely is it that He intended the opposite in politics?
~Isn’t the President a spiritual leader for the nation?
