So far we have heard that women are capable of leading.
Just for the comparison:
Some women had success and many failed miserably.
Some men failed miserably but many men had success in leading.
Who would you want to put the money on?
Next:
What is needed as qualification to lead?
Power, aggression, strength, judgment, perseverance, emotional integrity, full time availability, and intelligence.
Few things may be common in men and women but some requirements are lacking in women intrinsically and you have admitted on those. Aggression and strength etc.
Its not men's fault if women have some limitations including monthly cycles, hormonal imbalance and emotional swings. Its just part of the whole package.
Someone just wanted to see if there was a penis or not....as the differentiating qualities in men and women.
No That's not just it. You can cut the penis off the man and put it on a woman He will still be a man and she will still be a woman with all other qualities not to make her a good 'leader'.
Now a gay man cannot have the qualities of being a leader if he has lack of aggression/strength/perseverance and emotional integrity.
Last thing anyone want to see a leader who says: My heart jumps whenever enemy calls for my name!
Sorry, I am not going to really discuss Imamat by women as it is just not part of religion. Take it or leave it.
