Is it embarassing having a Queen, I mean wouldn't it be more respectful to have a King ?

Question

Why would England want to maintain a Monarchy with a woman as the reigning Head of State, I mean don't you find it slightly effeminate ? Why will that dufuse Charles not be King and when will William take the thrown ? Must he wait till the old lady kiels over ? If nothing else atleast he may bring some credibility to your country.

Answer 1

If you look back in history both male and female leaders were great. Many queens having to do double the job to prove how wise they were. Our Monarchy is amazing. Our Queen is also amazing. Charles will go with whatever he`s told. He would make an awesome king  and so would William. They all have something to give, it`s their birthright. Britian does not need your opinion of credibility anyway, we are very credible on our own thank you very much. Erm.....what country are you from???!!!

Answer 2

being a woman myself, i will try not to let my offense of this question affect my answer...

anyways, women as rulers almost seem like a mother of a country.  they are seen as beautiful, graceful, and peaceful.  sure, people may think that men should be rulers seeing as how they are usually the more dominate and more powerful, but thats not always the message that people want to send out.  men may be powerful and strong, but women are usually also seen as smart and graceful..... and lets not forget Cleopatra, one of the most powerful women of her time

Answer 3

Wow, talk about an idiot. There have been many strong queens and many weak kings. It has nothing whatsoever to do with gender!

I think Charles is far weaker than Elizabeth his mother.

Answer 4

Don't be such an attention seeker.

Answer 5

Sexist...you're the one that is embarassing to the society...

Get a life, dungbrain.

Answer 6

do society a favor and cut off your balls.

Thanks!!

Answer 7

Excuse me the king most important of England was a queen. The queen Victoria. And she lived  in the  19th century and she was respected by  English people and people from every place in the world. So I don't understand why do you ask  anything so fool?

And having queens as head of state has also existed in  another European countries . For instance in Spain Isabel la Católica.



I don't   wish to offend you but perhaps you are not European or your roots  are not European. Any  European  respects   as a queen as a king. We are used to have queens. I tell you  this because according to where you are you think in a concrete way. I  don't   want to be disdainful toward  you.

And I'm a man.

By the way The thumb down is because I said   the true well it does not matter.

Answer 8

And whats wrong with women? Your a moron.

Answer 9

We've also had a female Prime Minister. Didn't work out too well but by God we had one. And what about Queen Elizabeth 1? She was pretty awesome. If you start cutting out females from roles open to men I believe, in some quarters of modern thinking, it's termed discrimination. Plus if femeninity is the issue then surely really masculine women would be okay.

As to your other point Charles can become King if and when the Queen abdicates. William can then become ruler once Charles either dies or abdicates. It's not that difficult really.

Answer 10

go back to school, last time I checked, men and women are equal!!!

Answer 11

U r such an ignorant brute,i mean IN WHICH CENTURY DO U ACTUALLY LIVE,cuz if u haven't heard there's a news flash 4 ya:

MEN & WOMEN R EQUAL.

Answer 12

She's just a figure head when it comes down to it. She does precious little besides give a talk on Christmas & make appearances.

Why would it be better to have a man as that figure head?  Better yet why would it be more respectful?

Answer 13

What issue does gender have?

The days of the king leading all his men to war on a noble charger have long since gone.

Regardless of your views, you can't deny that both Elizabeth I and Margret Thatcher were two women that were pretty formidable leaders - a d**n side more formidable than a lot of men actually.

Answer 14

To bring some credibility to your ridiculous question, please learn how to spell first!

Answer 15

why don't you go back under your rock,you little troll

Answer 16

Your thinking is error-filled as well as your post.

Women are quite capable of reigning a country as any man.What is embarrassing is your question;you have embarrassed yourself by insinuating that women are not capable of doing the job.Perhaps you should start reading up on world history...Elizabeth I,Victoria...

Answer 17

If you knew anything about English history you wouldn't be asking this question.  We had the redoubtable Mary I ("Bloody Mary"),  followed by her sister Elizabeth, who (aged 55) actually rode to Tilbury to exhort the troops to battle, making a stirring speech in which she referred to herself as having the feeble body of a woman, but the heart of a king http://www.fordham.edu/halsall/mod/1588e...

Mary II had her husband William III as a sidekick and her sister Queen Anne was a very feminine woman, but Queen Victoria was a force to reckon with and far more successful than all those intervening male monarchs.  Our present Queen is competent and universally respected and nobody wants to see an end to her reign. She is in her eighties and still rides. How many other octogenarians can say that?

Answer 18

IS IT EMBARRASSING HAVING A MOTHER?  AND JUST HAVE A FATHER? RESPECT GOES TO EVERYONE MAN OR WOMAN. THE QUEEN IS THE MOTHER OF YOUR COUNTRY AND HAS DONE VERY WELL. A KING WOULD NOT BE MORE RESPECTED THEN YOUR QUEEN. IT IS IF YOU HAVE LEVEL HEAD TO RULE WITH GOOD COMMON SENSE. RESPECT IS EARNED NOT JUST GIVEN

Answer 19

This is because throughout history, men as kings just screwed things up more and more. A Queen runs a country much better.

Answer 20

What is wrong with having a female ruler? Do they make anything different? Why is having a male ruler so much better? They can do things the same. What, do you live in U.K.? Why is being effeminate wrong?

Answer 21

<rolls eyes>

How old are you?

Answer 22

I  love the Queen. She has done a fine job. Charle's is a bumbling idiot and I sure hope he doesn't get the top job. I think the Queen has been strong and sturdy and can do the job as any King could.

Answer 23

English answer ..from English person, living in Lancashire England ........no mate we are not embarased niether are we amused!!!!!!(to coin a phrase)

Answer 24

what century are you living in?  You're thinking is from an earlier, more ignorant time.

Answer 25

I dont know why you dispare over a woman holding the title monarch. Afterall....if you look back in history you'll see the greatest monarchs England  had have been women....IE: Victoria

Answer 26

The King had only daughters so now they have a Queen. Thats why. She can stay Queen until she dies if she so chooses. Since you are not from Britian why dont you just mind your own business.

Answer 27

There is no reason that anyone would care if the titular head of state in England is a male or female.
