Women’s Reality and History

This is a bit of a followup to my post, “Some Celebration,” on the issues women face here and abroad. Once again, H/T to cheneywatch.com for alerting me to this video.

Yesterday, I wrote of Afghanistan, Iraq, and the US. Today, it is India:

What courage, what strength, these women demonstrated. May their success be far and wide.

Speaking of courage and strength, here is a broader retrospective of Women Leaders in our history who helped get us where we are:

Here is one of my favorite athletes in one of my favorite sports (soccer), a woman who made history, Julie Foudy, in celebration of Women’s History Month:

Oh, and yes, Hillary should have been in the video of Women Leaders. So this one is for her, and for all of us:

India’s nation commission of women attack bar-owner for hindu group attack

……

So, close the pub, let the ‘attackers’ go free? The girls were molested, they were stripped and blamed and who is the POINT MAN….A WOMAN!

We Must Divest From Misogyny… especially the women.

‘Mangalore pub, girls to blame’

This woman is on the wrong commission, because she is doing a great disservice to women in India and around the world.

Woo hoo, here is is a SHERO…not willing to accept the spread of what is being called Bangalore’s Taliban. ARE YOU PAYING ATTENTION PRESIDENT OBAMA…THERE IS NO MODERATE TALIBAN. Taliban is a sickness, who must be stopped in every country not only in Afghanistan.

You got that right - no moderate Taliban! Can you BELIEVE he said that??

Yea, just when I was getting ready to go back from being a Democrat in Exile, he has to come up and say something as sound as the sighting of Big Foot (Have you seen a Moderate Taliban).

I guess I had better pen another letter to my congressperson that was sooo supportive of him, since he ‘voted’ against the war?!?

Did you hear/read the crap Mechelle said about Hillary? How much she loves calling Hillary Madame Secretary…(better than having to call her Madame President I’m sure!) Here’s the whole hypocritical comment from ABC’s website:

“Let me thank Secretary Clinton – I love saying that,” the first lady began her remarks. “I have said this before but the woman who is running this department, this big huge effort has always been such a committed person, friend, supporter to me. We are honored and thrilled to have her serving in this role. She set the bar high in her last post and I’m confident she’s going to keep setting the bar high in this post.”

There are no words to describe how much I detest Mechelle right now.
