Are menopausal men fit to hold public office?

Well, we now have another midlife crisis, male menopausal man, holding public office, who is admitting to having an affair.  This one cries and blubbers about it. 

 

Menopausal man confessing to an affair

Hey, if he was a woman, do you think he would be getting any sympathy as he rides his emotional rollercoaster up and down his lover’s body?  Hell no; why, we would be hearing the usual misogynist comments about women’s hormones and emotions and how can we trust someone who cries to handle that 3 am phone call.

Instead, we get this sympathetic piece that I found on Salon, exclaiming over the menopausal man’s human reactions:

“He broke the formula. He got lost. He went too deep. He exposed his soul. He got all weird and human on us. His life had become an awful train wreck happening in front of the whole country, and it didn't seem like he had any idea of how it was going to end up and he didn't care who knew it.”

I see…when a man cries and show emotions this is a laudable action; he is exposing his soul and getting human on us.  Huh, I thought those were bad qualities to have.  Crying and emotions and being human are signs of emotional instability and weakness; that is, if you are a woman.

Really, is it no wonder the world is in such a mess; too many menopausal men running things.  Lordy, let’s get some women in there; all they have is hot flashes for a brief period of time, and a sweaty, red face that is a result of a hot flash, is  preferable to one that is the result of keeping a concubine in Argentina. At least it is not immoral and hypocritical and a touch of deodorant and makeup will take care of it. (Ok, maybe some black cohash, a legal herb found in most health food stores, may be necessary)

One thing I can say about Obama, he doesn’t have enough hormones to ever be menopausal.

So, let’s take a vote, how many people think menopausal men should be banned from public office?  The ayes have it. Let's get on with it, ladies.  Start running for office; crying is now acceptable and having a sweaty, red face is only human.  Yes we can.

Excellent points, all.

I'll be sure to pass along the link.... once I get done grieving the loss... of the King of Pop.

Excellent.

Maybe it's time to do a side by side youtube video. Start off with Pat Schroeder crying when she quit the presidential race a long time ago, show a few more famous women crying, and then switch to a whole bunch of guys crying, sports legends when they retire, and so on, and end with this guy.
