"Not to be sexist but, I can’t vote for the leader of the free world to be a woman. Just because, every other position that exists, I think a woman could do well. But the president? It’s kinda like, I just know that women make rash decisions emotionally -- they make very permanent, cemented decisions -- and then later, it’s kind of like it didn’t happen, or they didn’t mean for it to happen. And I sure would hate to just set off a nuke. [Other leaders] will not be able to negotiate the right kinds of foreign policy; the world ain’t ready yet. I think you might be able to the Lochness Monster elected before you could [get a woman]."
T.I... fam... why would you say something like this? You were raised by a single mother, you have a wife who is an entrepreneur, you have daughters! I don't understand why he felt entitiled to make this statement when he is a convicted felon who has no voice in the voting process anyway. It's funny how people have to start off with the.. "Not to be sexist but..", when they are about to make the most sexist comment ever. I am really disappointed by T.I., I thought we were better than this. Your eloquent vocabulary can't hide your ignorance.
Men, I cannot stress how important it is to be a support system to women. If you think that women are beneath you, you will start to raise daughters who think that they can't achieve their greatest dreams. We need to do better as a community.
*update, T.I. apologized for his statement, as all celebrities do when they get backlash from the public*
"My comments about women running for president were unequivocally insensitive and wrong. I sincerely apologize to everyone I offended." - T.I.
"What they say, I'm sexist?"
