A clipping from a November 1963 issue of the Minneapolis Tribune asked people, “Would a woman be a good president?”Two men and two women both emphatically said no, saying men are more “responsible” and women “give in” too easily. Only one respondent, a Wisconsin man named Vern Hause, seemed to be OK with it, saying they’d do no worse than some male Presidents.Frank Kampa: “No. Today their mind is one way and the next day, it changes.”Tom Romanowski: “No. I don’t have much faith in women to let them run the country.”Mrs. Maureen Mellum: “No. A man is more responsible. Women have enough problems without being president.”Mrs. Tom Romanowski: “No. A woman is too likely to give in. They might not stand their ground when they should.”Vern Hause: “She couldn’t do any worse than some we’ve had.” -- source link
