Is America ready for a woman president?

Also, it's about time you get more involved in your own post, lol.
You bring up a great point. Nobody want a president to get pregnant. What has been the youngest president we've had so far? What is the average age of a president? I would think any potential female president would be of the same average ages a male one would be... therefore most likely not of a normal child bearing age.
Also, even though a woman may still have her period at 40, it's very unlikely she can easily get pregnant and I would say almost impossible to accidentally get pregnant. What I mean is, she would most likely have to try hard to get pregnant. But even though it's not as easy to get pregnant at 40, she certainly is still using birth control of some sort. But 40 is awful young for a president anyway.

And since when has science been 100% exact? Like when they say coffe is bad don;t drink it, then coffe is great have 4 cups a day, coffe is bad don't drink it
those are all "proven" right?
My period lasts 2 days I get no cramps I don't suffer from it so NO I am not more vulnerable during my blood period
those are all "proven" right?

I mean, often you hear a guy claim a woman must have PMS because a female is upset, more often if the female is upset with him.

You do have to admit, women make decisions on their emotions most of the time(i was thinking about not saying "most", but after thinking about it, nope). If you ask a women what choice of something she'd like, if she's in normal state of mind, it'll be one thing, but in a pms or emotional state, it'll be another.
And could not a persons track record prove them capable of any job? Or does being female automatically deem them as not always having a "normal state of mind" and just flat out makes them less qualified or fit to have an important job?
I'm not saying men don't have emotions, but i'm saying that the majority don't let emotional status alter their logical decisions. Yes, a few men do run wild with their emotions as most women do, but they are not leaders nor successful men, because most other men look down upon them if they do so.
Then find me something that says that pure logical decisions are superior over logical and emotional based decisions. Two is better than one.
Think a guy can cry or scream at work and not be thought of as unstable from that point on? no way. But if it's a woman, "she's just going through a stressful time" and in a day or 2, most people's perception about her has changed little if at all. I work with lots of professional women, and even when you think you know them and conversate with them, backstabbing and the likes ensue for everyone in her way. The only guys you have to watch out for, are the ones that don't say hardly a word to you at work, and remain reclusive.

What do we all say or think when a man makes a bad decision? It's just a bad decision, right? Or do men not make them?

I'll answer this with a question of my own: Have you ever worked directly under a woman boss?
If you have, then you most likely know what I'm talking about. If you haven't, or if you've been lucky enough to have a decent woman boss, then God bless ya.
Oh, and this has nothing to do with Aunt Flo, either.

There was a list emailed around a few years ago entitled "20 Reasons Why I'm Glad I'm a Man". One of them was: My coworkes don't have the power to make my cry.

The majority population of women experience no emotional changes during thier period?

I would say that premenstrual symptoms in most woman can be compared to a headache. It's there and you know how to cope with it and fix it.
For those women with premenstrual symptoms that make them emotional to a point where it affects their decision making abilities, THEY NEVER WOULD OF EVEN MADE IT TO ANY OFFICE, LET ALONE BE A PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE!!! C'mon, lets get serious here.

Like I said, nothing to do with PMS.
