Wrong logic!

Some people who are against ever having a female President in America come up with the silliest argument: her period/menopause. They mistakenly, in my opinion, draw some example ammunition by referring to Hillary Clinton's recent emotional outburst in Africa. Why do people always use such a silly argument to deny women a chance?

I have nothing against the people who are against a female president. Everyone has the right to be in favor or against. My problem is with the reasoning they use to make their argument.

Assuming they are not joking and seriously espouse the logic as sufficient enough to justify being against a female president, it seems to me they would get our country in deep trouble had they been the President themselves.

But you don't have to stretch it that far to demonstrate their hollow grounds. The people who employ such kind of hollow logic to justify their behavior and choices usually find themselves in trouble with their personal life and relationships.

The best one can do, I think, if one knows such people personally is to expose their logic by referring to examples of how disastrously it works, examples drawn from their personal lives.

There's a better chance they will get the silliness of their logic even if they don't change their mind about ever having a female president in America.

The problem is not with the opinion itself necessarily, but how it is justified.

Menopause?? That's silly! Period.
