Right there with you, BBF – it is shocking how far behind the US lags in terms of women in leadership positions.

Yes, absolutely disgusted with how the Obama Dems treated Hillary and Sarah, andhow they STILL treat them. So smug, arrogant, and patronizing – and the things abt which they are so are not abt their politics, which is what makes it so much worse..

Gender is probably the most restricting force in all aspects of American life, most recently noted by numerous pundits and commentators during the 2008 presidential election. Compared with other democracies, the United States in fact has been slow to use the abilities of the majority of its citizens – the majority born female. Although Americans think of ourselves as leaders in all things progressive, the fact is that 26 countries granted women the vote before the U.S. did, and the same is true of electing women as national leaders. The U.S. falls behind many others in setting this precedent, including Australia, Britain, Canada, Germany, India, Ireland, Israel, and even Pakistan.

I am still disgusted by the sexists attacks by the Obama-loving Democrats and the MSM on Hillary Clinton…and on later Sarah Palin…which were even worse.

A little OT, but did you hear that Seneca Falls is going to vote March 16th on a resolution to dissolve the village. Wonder how that will impact the women’s museum-if it passes.

In accordance with a declaration by the Socialist Party of America,

Migosh RRRA – you used the shockingly bad word “Socialist”.
I’m sure it comes as a shock to many people that the word was used in the past with positive connotations. And people didn’t have the vapors when it was used.

When my children were very young the word “underwear” used to set them off too.
Thank you for a clear-eyed look at history. I can always count on you.

Thank you, Rev. Amy for the history lesson about International Women’s Day. Well done! I’ve never given IWD a second thought; your article changed that for me.

Excellent quote and I agree on relevance. The world (including America) has a long way to go on equity and social justice for women.

Thank you for this, Typical. It is hard to even fathom those statistics, isn’t it? Two thirds of the women have been raped? That is staggering…
