"Just Tell Them...
I have worked 40 years to make the Women's Suffrage platform broad enough for Atheists and Agnostics to stand upon, and now if need be I will fight the next 40 to keep it Catholic enough to permit the straightest Orthodox religionist to speak or pray and count her beads upon."

What's Wrong With This Picture?
Let me get this straight. There is only ONE woman, in the whole effin United States or China, that is qualified to discuss the global financial crisis???
Guess which forum this one is from, conservative or liberal:
"Sometimes I think Hillary has more guts than many of the men sitting at this table... Look at Clueless lookinag at Hillary and thinking " Glad you're here, because I don't know what the HECK they're talking about'..."
"Well, economic prowess doesn't necessarily entail gender equality. Many impoverished nations have women qualified to discuss, but then these nations don't have so much money on the table..."
"Obama said during the campaign a country should be judged by how it treats its women. From what I can see 9:1 on the American side 9:0 on the Japan side. We still got a long way to go!"
That liberal comment sounds sexist to me. Is he saying that men are better in math? And that the countries where women are in charge there isn't any money so you don't need to be with math? Yikes, no wonder I stay away from those sites.
In "real life" Dawg is a mom, a nurse, a pet rescuer and a tireless advocate for animal rights.
Dawg is happily married for thirty years and has raised three awesome children. She holds an advanced degree in Family Science, wherein her research was focused on women's support circles during parturition. Her dedication to Women's Rights is directly affected by her belief that motherhood should not be a sentence to isolation and disenfranchisement.
Dawg is on hiatus from political bloggery d/t the intense demands of her engagement in the No Kill movement at this time. However, she remains influenced by PUMA politics and reads the blogs of her fellow PUMAs (at right) regularly.
PS. I have been having some fun with this photo today.
ReplyDeleteI posted it on two forums I frequent: one "conservative" and one "liberal."
You will not believe the responses I have been getting.....
Will share later!

Conservative or Liberal?
And one more... Conservative or Liberal?
ReplyDelete"Obama said during the campaign a country should be judged by how it treats its women. From what I can see 9:1 on the American side 9:0 on the Japan side. We still got a long way to go!"
The answer is...
ReplyDelete1. Conservative.
2. Liberal
3. Conservative
Odd to me, that the "Liberal" male does not think economic prowess fits with gender equity. Is he saying that women just can't do math?
OTOH, the "Conservatives" I am meeting just shock the heck out of me every day.
Boy was I ever cornfused about who was "pro-woman."
Great find, Syd! Interesting commentary... I don't even know what the liberal comment means.
