To vote for a woman?

My friend,

First,

Let me be clear on something:

Why I wouldn’t vote for a woman?

 

If she is going to,

In the performance of her duties,

Emulate men,

With their macho attitude,

Their tough language,

Such as

“I wouldn’t allow you to…”

“I lie…”

“I’ll be back...”

“I’ll reduce you to pulp...”

“I’ll take you out…”

“You must do it

Or something else...”

 

My friend,

Emulating such arrogant

And unpleasant attitude,

Won’t have my vote,

 

You see, my friend,

The world is sick to the bone.

It needs

To heal,

And start breathing.

 

Now, my friend,

Why would I vote for a woman?

Well,

It’s not a tough question.

In my vocabulary,

A woman is the flower,

In the eyes of a man.

 

She is,

In every sense of the word,

His complement.

 

As a man,

I don’t expect her,

In the performance of her duties,

To emulate men,

But,

Rather to bring a feminine touch,

A more gentle touch,

A firm sweetness.

 

You see,

My friend,

The world is sick to the bone.

It needs to heal

And starts breathing again.

 

So, my friend,

A woman,

In the performance of her duties,

Should start

The healing process.

Then,

Without any hesitation,

She will have my vote.

As good a reason as any to vote for a woman.

Surprisingly, after the great snowstorm shut down the federal government Monday and Tuesday, on Tuesday a few US senators returned to the capitol to get back to work. They were all women. I believe that tells us something about why we should vote for women.
