This is a horrible attitude . The point of gender equality in this context is that the best candidate should win regardless of gender . Someone saying that they don ' t think Clinton should be president because she wouldn ' t be a good first female president is ludicrous , and sexist in the most horribly implicit way . We will always find fault in candidates . If we wait for a perfect female to be the first , we will never see a female president . Don ' t get me wrong , I am not trying to voice an opinion on who should have one the election or if Hillary would be a good president . I am just saying that this argument for not wanting her , is one of the most disgusting , as it is sexism masked behind social consciousness .
