In light of the renewed discussion of Sarah Palin, I offer a short, politically incorrect list of the reasons why women should not hold the reins of power, even at levels less significant than the presidency: 

Women, even highly intelligent women, are more emotional than men. 

Women govern with ideas of nurturing. Society functions on notions of duty and discipline. 

Women have too much to do in the private realm. 

The future depends on the child-rearing of today. 

Birth rates sharply fall under egalitarian leadership. 

Men lose interest in fields dominated by women. The more women govern, the less men seek to govern. 

Female public figures are judged more than men on their physical appearance. 

Women who hold power tend to disparage the powerlessness of most women, making it difficult for women in general to forsake ambition for greater goods.
