It’s high time we all worked to get a woman – of either party – to the highest office!

The under-representation of women in this administration is a national embarrassment.

But who is responsible? Women had a chance to choose a woman (Clinton) with almost identical policies to Obama’s and far more experience. But they didn’t. Instead, they chose a man who had made it clear by then that he is NOT a feminist, but in fact pretty old-fashioned in this respect.

Until women decide they want parity in government – and take it – and want a women’s agenda – and create and enact it – they are likely to remain second class citizens in the US.

I for one look to the New Agenda to be one of the key women’s organizations that will bring about a coalition of women who support women for a better and fairer society.

The Iranian government condones and encourages the torturing and mutiliation of homosexuals. Mousavi wanted to abolish the pasdar who beat up and scream at women who do not have their hair properly covered or their socks right.

The Progressives and African-American elite will continue to declare Obama to be a Feminist and a Fierce Advocate for Gay Rights. Meanwhile, his administration will do nothing for either group unless enough political pressure is applied.

Without a women in the white house we will never make a dent in any administration. The only way women will get the respect in government is when one of us is in there. Women know about womens issues, men don’t.
