Will they stop at nothing to keep women out of power?

I'm not just talking about what the American media did to Senator Clinton, I'm also concerned with the murder of Pakistans political figure, Benazir Bhutto and the kidnapping of Presidential hopeful Ingrid Betanacourt, vice-presidential hopeful Clara Rojas and a female senator in Columbia (who were rescued after years of living in the jungle.

And since I am pretty positive these countries, including our own, have so little respect for the power of women and fear women in power, I feel safe to say the "they" are men of little intellect.

Update:

I have daughters, its my duty to stand up for them, I will take the smack down if keeps them from having to do it in the future. Women make this a better place by their very existence (look up the Austrailian "experiement" of putting men on an island alone..no women.) Surely their is nothing to fear from a woman in power especially after all the lying and cheating males we've had at the White House.

Update 2:

I find it amusing that men get so angry when you point out the weakness of their gender...notice women are too busy with the kids in the morning to be on the computer right now.

    I could keep going.... There's no conspiracy here.

    Don't forget the Bhutto already served as the leader of Pakistan once before she was assassinated.

    What about María Corazón Sumulong Cojuangco-Aquino, aka Cory Aquino, President of the Philippines (1986-1992), and Maria Gloria Macaraeg Macapagal-Arroyo, aka Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo current President of the Philippines?

    Oh, please! You make it sound like all these cases are unique to women. Do you honestly think that MEN have not had political attacks on them when running for office, that they haven't been murdered to prevent them from coming into power, that they haven't been kidnapped, etc., etc.? This is not a sexist thing, it is a "power thing" whereby someone in power (or wanting to be in power) does everything possible from stopping someone else taking that power.

    You really need to take off the feminist blinders and get that massive chip off your shoulder.

    Hate to tell you this, but with a little research you can find ten women in a position of great power for each of those examples of women who were kept out of power.

    Your post is extremely sexist and VERY uninformed and ignorant of the world.

    That is a very sexist posting.

    One of the most powerful political positions in our country is held today by a black woman.

    And yes, I have a lot of respect for her.

    By the way, she was hired for her job by a white, male, republican.

    On the contrary; the Liberal Left establishment has white middle aged single guys as the only group they don't represent anymore.
