Madonna scolds America

Pop star Madonna has accused American citizens of being afraid of electing a female as president of the United States.

The singer believes while other countries embrace female leadership, Americans are frightened by the concept.

She explains: "In Europe and Asia and elsewhere, women have ruled over millions; it's not an abstract or frightening or out-of-the-box concept.

"But in America, men are still afraid of women. And women, I don't think, trust women. I find that amazing."

The star, who famously portrayed Argentine political icon Eva Peron, would support senator Hilary Clinton if she chose to run for president.

She adds: "She should go for it, definitely. I don't think maybe now is her time, or the Democrats' time, but she should certainly go for it.

"You've got to start somewhere in terms of women leading the US."

^I'm not a fan of Madonna at all, I think she talks a lot of hypocritical ****e, but if I forget it's her who made this point, I totally agree with it.

I think a woman would get voted for if one would run, but no one has yet!
IMHO; I'm only 16.

(But also excited that I'll be 18 for the next election. yay.)

As a European, taking chunks out America is more than a little easy, so in America's defence: obviously there are parts of Asia that don't even have democratic rule, but less obviously plenty of European countries are deeply gender-divided. When was the last time you saw a female president, senator or prime minister in France?

She forgot to mention CANADA and our past female Prime Minister! WOO for us. Now as I put my pride aside...

She's CRAVING attention IMO.

And I don't just say this because of this statement.

Without wanting to wave the French flag , there are around 55 female senators in France at present , the last female prime minister in France was Edith Cresson (1991 - that's more recent than the last time you had a female prime minister in most European countries) and a female president is just something that you would hardly find in the history of most countries in the world...But I do agree with you about the fact that sexism in politics is not confined to the U.S and is a world wide reality case...

As obnoxious as she may or may not be, she's absolutely right.
