Women in power...

Last night I decided to watch the news. While watching the news (Fox 5) the media was talking about women in power, particulary African American women. Do not qoute me on this, but If I am not mistaken it was said that out of 47 states there are seven women mayors who are black. Seven, I am not sure how many women that may be of another race or ethnicity, but I thought that was a very small number. Fox 5 was talking about the African American women who are in power in Baltimore, Maryland and they ended up interviewing a number of people and asked them about what were their thoughts about women in power. I think all of the comments were positive comments. Most of the people acknowledge that women are smart and are capable of being in control. It was also said that woman have come a long way and are making statements and big moves day in and day out. Personally, I agreed with everything that was said about the women who are in power. When I was reading the chapter two I thought it was interesting that "seventy-nine percent of Americans are ready for a woman president." What about the other twenty-one percent? Why isn't all of America ready for a woman president? With the diverse population that the U.S. has as of now I would think that people would grow out of the traditional males ruling everything attitude, but I guess that the naive and conservative politicians are not ready for that yet. What harm will it do if we have a woman president? I mean if a woman can be in charge of a household, company, or etc. what makes it any different then running a country? That is only if she is a capable candidate. The meadia influences others decisions and I think it puts a prejudice on people who follows it.
