Woman as President

First, let me just say I am a woman and I am all about woman rights. But it’s not so much as woman rights; it is more of human rights. Man and woman were clearly designed differently. Each of us was designed for different tasks. Designed for tasks that equal each other! I do not think that men are more important then women, or visa versa!
Anyways, it scares me to have a woman president. I am so happy that woman have come this far and have withstood all the oppression that has been pressed on them. Let me say again, I am pro human rights!
It just scares me if a woman becomes the President won’t other countries see it as a sign of weakness because they have not yet seen woman as equal to men. America has accepted woman as equals, because they are. But what about the other countries that have not come to the revelation that men and woman are completely equal yet? Will they see our country as vulnerable now? Meaning, will they attack our country now because they think we are weak? Even though we are completely fine, I just do not want to give any other country the excuse to attack us!

A country attacking us because of a woman president would bring the wrath of almost all the world's nations. I doubt they would see us as weak.

Pakistan had a woman Prime Minister before us. Isn't that kind of depressing? And England. And Israel. Venuzaila (i know that's wrong, but my spell check wants me to replace it with Venusians) had women Presidents. Just off of the top of my head.
No, I don't think that other countries will see it as a weakness.

Many European countries have strong women as leaders. No one we care about would throw a fit.

Also, men and women are not actually biologically that different. There is no reason why men couldn't be the nurturers and child-rearers and women be the hunters/gatherers.
