Competent women. You mean like the one who needed an ex-president husband to win a senate seat, needed the questions in advance for the presidential debate to get an advantage over the man, and had her party's elite rig the primaries so she could win the nomination. Oh yes and still lost. Is that the competent woman you speak of. I have no problem with competent women, but you have to separate the ones who are and the ones who aren't.
