( CNN ) Thinking about presidential candidates ? Apparently , hormones are a major factor one should consider . According to one female businesswoman in Texas , Hillary Clinton should n't be president because her hormones might make her so irrational she 'll start an unnecessary war . When George W. Bush waged an unnecessary war in Iraq -- was his testosterone to blame ? As Cheryl Rios , the CEO of Go Ape Marketing , sees it : `` We 're built differently , we have different hormones . In the world that we live in , I understand that there 's equal rights and that 's a wonderful thing and I support all of that . I do n't support a woman being president . '' `` With the hormones we have there is no way we should be able to start a war , '' Rios wrote in a Facebook post . If Rios is concerned about hormones impacting decisions in the Oval Office , she 'd be better off worrying about the male candidates for president . Throughout history , male hormones have indeed impaired some male leaders ' decision-making . Studies show that women leaders take fewer unnecessary risks than their male counterparts . If science does n't convince you , just Google `` cheating politicians '' for the long and sordid list of men like Arnold Schwarzenegger , Mark Sanford and John Edwards , whose hormones got the best of them . Rios has taken a lot of flak for her `` biblically '' inspired beliefs , but she 's not the only one who 's arguing that a woman 's hormones are a legitimate leadership concern . Time magazine declared Hillary Clinton the `` perfect '' age to be president , because she 's a postmenopausal woman who is `` biologically primed '' to lead . ( She also happens to be a former first lady , senator and secretary of state . ) I 'm not joking . Believe me , I wish I were . No wonder Jon Stewart left `` The Daily Show '' before the election cycle ramps up in full swing . If discussions about a candidate 's hormones are what we have to look forward to , the state of presidential politics is depressing indeed . But underneath the biochemistry debate is a much scarier consideration : The bias against women in the workplace is so well established that even in 2015 , a female candidate will be hard-pressed to get elected unless we have a serious discussion about ending gender bias . We want to believe that we live in a world where our daughters can do anything and be anything . And you 'd think they could -- they outnumber boys in college , graduate school and the work force . But what will limit their potential is not biochemistry or ability , but a bias in how women and girls are viewed . Unfortunately , Cheryl Rios ' view of women is not unique . Some people believe women have `` our place '' and that place is not at the table . They 'll tell your daughter to `` go for it '' but believe she is n't qualified to fulfill her dreams . In a compelling series about women and work , Wharton School professor Adam Grant and Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg lay out the startling facts about the bias women face at work and the profound benefit of eradicating gender stereotypes . The evidence of bias is undeniable and the examples are endless . It 's overt : There are more men on corporate boards named John , Robert , William or James than there are women on boards altogether . The bias is also covert : When students rate their favorite professors , they describe the men as `` geniuses '' and the women as `` nice . '' The bias is real , yet so many of us are blind to it . Hillary Clinton might not be the perfect candidate , but the fact that she is a woman will make her road to the White House a much steeper climb . That 's not just a problem for Democrats -- it 's a problem for Republicans , Independents , everyone . The fact is , equality benefits everyone . It 's better for the bottom line ( companies with more women in leadership roles make more money ) . It 's great for kids because children with involved fathers are happier , healthier , and more successful . It 's great for marriages because couples that share responsibilities have stronger marriages . And it 's great for corporate teams because diverse teams and companies produce better results . Our nation , our economy and our families would be much stronger if half of our companies were run by women and half of our households were run by men . It 's not enough to say to our daughters : `` You can be anything you want to be . '' What we need to say is : `` You can be anything you want to be , despite what some people might think -- and what they think is wrong . '' Rios said that if Clinton is elected , she is `` moving to Canada '' because `` a female should n't be president . '' Apparently Rios knows as much about women and leadership as she knows about Canada : Kim Campbell became the country 's first female prime minister in 1993 . Correction : An earlier version of this article incorrectly stated that Canadians elected their first female prime minister , Kim Campbell .
A businesswoman worries that if Mel Robbins becomes president , her hormones will make her go to war . Hillary Clinton : What 's scary is that the bias against women in the workplace is still going strong in 2015 .
