"Commentators argue that a female president would further antagonize Muslim men worldwide&amp;#8212;many of whom we need as allies or are actually fighting in the War on Terror. Many Muslim countries do restrict women, and tribal, patriarchal culture predating Islam is still prevalent, resulting in female genital mutilation and honor killings. I even confront patriarchal Muslim male attitudes&amp;#8212;everything from my not covering my hair to simply that I am female and I dare to have an opinion about Islam.\nEven in the face of these attitudes, I think a President Hillary would do well with a patronizing Muslim leader. Muslim male leadership, though not extending reforms to women in their own countries, does have a respectfully protective (albeit often detrimental) attitude towards women. Out of their own sense of Muslim male chivalry, the Musharrafs and Prince Sauds of the world would make concessions to President Hillary that they would otherwise dogfight with a President McCain or President Obama on (even accounting for Obama&amp;#39;s nebulous Islamic roots).\nNearly every Pakistani politician confronting Benazir Bhutto addressed her with the respectful title of &amp;quot;Bibi Benazir&amp;quot; (meaning the lady Benazir), showing her a deference reserved for women. Contrast this to the US, where the slang term for a female dog has become a shorthand reference for Hillary. Although male Muslim deference is often cited to hold Muslim women back, President Hillary can exploit it for US benefit if she plays along. Muslim men, too enmeshed in their own traditional thinking about protecting women, would be none the wiser.\nDo you think Muslim men would respect Hillary, or do you think I am being too optimistic about my fellow Muslims&amp;#39; reactions?\n&amp;#8212;Asma"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
