What are we afraid of?

I AM A FEMINIST. Why? Because I believe that women in our society should have the same rights and privileges as any other member of our society. The word "feminist" has come to have some kind of negative subtext in our culture and that makes me crazy. Why does it make people nervous to support the idea that women would make effective, peaceful, and successful leaders? There have been many great peaceful male leaders in this world and there could be many females. I think the discussion should focus more on what traits make someone a good, just, and peaceful leader... these traits exist in men and women.

Great posts!
