Research Paper Topic:
Is America ready for a woman president?
Thesis 1:
Although women are given equal rights under the constitution, there are many who believe that women do not hold the same status as men. Until America stops questioning whether women have equal opportunities, America will not be ready for a woman president.
Thesis 2:
Over the past 50 years woman's role in society has changed. The progress women have made economically and politically is strong evidence to support that America is ready to accept a woman as president.

Your sentence structure and word choice is really nice because it enables readers to clearly understand your argument. Although, I do not like how your theses are split into multiple sentences. I feel like the first sentence in each thesis just leads up to your main argument (which is stated in your next sentence) and so you do not need to include it as part of your thesis. Instead, you can use those first sentences as back up information that leads up to your thesis in your introduction paragraph. Also, you could then add some sub-points to your theses in order to explain how you are going to support your argument in the rest of your paper.
The first one does not really seem debatale to me only because i dont really think any one could provide any argument for its counter-thesis which looks something like this is my mind
"America will be ready for a woman president before America stops questioning whether women have equal oppurtunities."
That does not seem logical at all to me. Also using America twice in one sentence is a little awkward.
The second one is a solid argument that is debatable though so that one would be good i think. Maybe you should make it economically, politically, and socially or something just to give yourself more possible sources.
From the way you worded your theses, it seems that each one is the other's counter-argument. That says to me that you are waiting for the results of your research to see which side is the easiest argument to support, which makes sense to me. However, both sides may have equal representation in your research, so I would suggest staying with number two because you have already hinted that you know several good examples to back it up, whereas in number one, your main argument mostly states the assumption that men are still biased against women and their capabilities (at least I assume you mean men, because women fighting against themselves would be just wierd).
