To be fair, one can be opposed to voting for a woman for president without being misogynistic.
I can appreciate the reluctance. Unfortunately, in some places, women just aren't given the respect they deserve, regardless of their political position, simply because they're women. I detest the fact that that happens, but until women and men are on a level playing field - everywhere, not just in the US - I find myself reluctant to put a woman in that position. Sure, she asked for it, but that doesn't really matter (not to me, anyway).
Of course, we won't know how real of a problem this is until there's a woman in office. And Hilary sure seems strong enough to handle herself. I dunno... But, I still think that someone doesn't have to be anti-woman to be anti-woman-President.
