I just pray that they are not simply female versions of the males in there now.

Cuba, Ethiopia, Afghanistan, Uzbekistan, and over half of the other countries in the world have more women representatives. Pretty sad.

Though I do wonder if she understands why.<br /><br />Answer this question in your mind:<br /><br />Is it more racist to vote against someone because of the color of his skin than to vote for him for the same criteria? Change "racist" to "sexist" and "color of his skin" for "gender of the candidate" and answer it again.Douglashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09752593286034877538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-626594980028435818.post-32775614731030981932012-12-09T05:53:12.784-05:002012-12-09T05:53:12.784-05:00More women=more leftism=more bankruptcy and weakne...More women=more leftism=more bankruptcy and weakness.<br /><br />Granting women the right to vote was one of the worst mistakes men---that is, the people who built AND defended 98% of society, MEN---ever made.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-626594980028435818.post-37803945916651166552012-12-08T14:36:53.826-05:002012-12-08T14:36:53.826-05:00I wonder how things will be different as women are...I wonder how things will be different as women are more and more present in the places where things are decided.Linda Myershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05706455533282204519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-626594980028435818.post-7850773910017406682012-12-07T19:13:58.832-05:002012-12-07T19:13:58.832-05:00At one time I was inclined to vote for a woman jus...At one time I was inclined to vote for a woman just because she was a woman. No more!

It takes awhile for the changes to move downstream. For example, my law school class was about 25% women. Now law school classes are generally 50/50 and sometimes with even more women than men. Same for medical school, I'm guessing. Thanks for the overview of our women leaders. I am glad to have the information.Galen Pearlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10189831838630645863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-626594980028435818.post-5703631303866669902012-12-07T13:53:57.623-05:002012-12-07T13:53:57.623-05:00The rising number of women in Congress is a change...The rising number of women in Congress is a change that will benefit all of us.
