World need not be ruled by hormones

The Fence Post editors must have decided to publish Mr. Kocan's opinion that "female leaders don't cut it" to raise the ire of responsible people of both sexes.

That the testosterone-driven aggression and fear-inspiring behavior of the leaders he recommends have led us to a nation that trembles under the fear of attack seems to escape him.

That the world's nations are changing their opinions of the U.S. since our citizens have elected a man to be our president that embodies his description of a "feminized male" also seems to escape him.

My common sense tells me that we are on the right path to join a world that is governed by the use of knowledge and sensibility, not hormones. Those capabilities are held regardless of color, creed, nationality or gender.
