I think Janis is right . I watch alot of different news programs during the day and women are so brutal to other women it makes me sick. Especially today with Sarah Palin. Alot of women are like I don’t like her politics (which me they don’t like her because she’s pro-life), I say to myself is whats going on today better politics. I guess women like the gov. in everything we do and making desicions for us. First off the whole abortion thing Sarah says she does not believe the federal gov. should make the desicion about abortion and I believe her. Second she would not be spending all this money that our children will be on the hook for and I don’t believe she would be so quick to send our troops to fight wars because she knows from experience what its like to send your child off to war.Yes she strongly supports our troops and why shouldn’t we. Women really need to wake up . This world has been run by men for all these years and look what a mess it is. Most men can’t run a household let alone a country.

I’m with you KendallJ –

We CAN do this.

That is what this organization is about and we will continue to press forward. Nothing worth accomplishing ever came easily.

Janis,

Don’t be so sure! Women have and are so fucked over that the obsticles are huge, but with time, proper analysis, and problem solving agendas we can overcome. the practice of pitting women against each other is one of the first barriers that we have to break. I’ve watched black men undermine both white and black women by convincing black women that they are race traders it they call themselves feminists or work with white women on common issues. I have also seen white men play the same game with white women. Meantime, we scramble to cut each others throats for the opportunity to be the token woman in male dominated fields.

Women need to understand that we only succeed individually, when we all succeed. I refuse believe that we can’t get there.

Then parity will never be achieved. Women are simply not capable of uniting. I wish I were wrong. I truly do. I have to live in this world.

But women will pick My Mayun over That Bitch every single time. Period.

Having heard that and letting the thoughts of all the panelist sink in I have been reinforced in my view -it is important to support all women candidates- irrespective of agendas because only then will parity be achieved.
