I am not ashamed to say I want to see a woman in the presidency. Hillary is not my ideal choice for first woman president, but I will be absolutely thrilled that kids growing up right now will see President Hillary Clinton and it will become normal to them that a woman can hold the highest political office in our nation. It is almost taboo, certainly controversial, to express that we want a woman president just for the sake of breaking through that barrier. But in an election where we're picking between 2 candidates most people find unsatisfactory, it seems to me the overall social benefit of electing a woman becomes a legitimate reason to vote for Hillary.

Not sure why you should be "ashamed" to see a woman as president. I'm pretty positive Sec Clinton will be the president come January - however, I do not support her, nor will I vote for her. There's several women out there that would be better presidents - unfortunately, they're not running.

If this is all that matters to you, please don't vote.

I respect Mrs. Clinton, but would not want her to be the first woman President. Rather see someone like Hawaii Representative Gabbard has first female President of the U.S.

Please don't vote because of someone's sex or skin color this is what concerns me about politics some people don't vote because of the issues instead just for things that shouldn't even matter.

I don't know anything a female President would do with her vagina that would make her a better or worse President than a man wielding a penis. You can't be for equality and then show bias by voting for a woman just because she is one.

No problem with having a woman President.

But it would be an embarrassment to women across the planet if it was Hillary Clinton who got the job.
