Women and power and why they'll never truly have it 1

There are plenty of reasons NOT to give women any power. Take a look at times gone by and remember Messalina, Claudius's wife, or Catherine the Great, Russia's horny tzarina. Even correspondence with Voltaire and Diderot did not help her: she was still greedy and stupid.

But women do have a hunger for power. Just look at Hillary Clinton. She must see that Barack Obama is far more intelligent and thus a better president for America, but she continues to fight. Lately she even said that there have been campaigns going on till June, when Bobby Kennedy was assassinated... A hint? Catherine the Great killed off her first husband in order to seize power. Hillary can not actually kill Barack Obama, but she surely can urge others to do so.

So what's it with women and power? Why do they want it so badly? Wasn't Bill's presidency enough? Why must we also have a female-Clinton? And if we must have a female president, then why must we have a female president who looks and dresses like a man?

Isn't it interesting that women in power play down their femininity and almost always dress in pants and suits, like men? Does power demand masculinity and if so, then why not just have real men in power, not women trying to appear as men?

Previous centuries have seen powerful men and weak women. A woman's only road to power was to become a powerful man's wife or mistress and even then she was continually threatened by other women who were eager to take her place. So a woman had no chance but to learn to play it dirty: poison her rival or spread false rumors, call her a slut or a witch. Mothers taught their daughters how to get a man. "Getting a man" became a woman's life's sole purpose. First getting a man and then keeping a man. Women became real experts at "getting".

Now, that women are free to pursue any dream, they find it hard to let the old tricks go. They are afraid of being themselves and believe that they are taken seriously if they imitate men. Hillary certainly looks sharp in her pantsuit but something is missing and i think that the thing is honesty. Anybody can see that her life with Bill is fake but she still tries to convince us that they are a "happy couple". If women want to play men, then in order to be taken seriously they have to be honest, before all about themselves, who they really are, and not use the same tricks that they were taught to use against other women.

Hillary will never be president for two reasons: first, because men will never go for a woman who is a fake man and second, women will never go for a woman. Women are just that envious of other women. Which is why women will never have any real power. They are used to fighting each-other, it takes some time for the Love to start.
