Until more than half the us senate and house and cabinate are female we have a problem. thats a fact. I'm a man, have three sons and yet i can still see the injustice in having white men (like me) have too great a share of power. One speaker of the house and one president alone do not come close to changing the fact that the playing field is not even. peace ya'll!

Whatever....the current speaker of the house is nancy Pelosi and one of the front runners for president is a woman. The secretary of state is a woman. When will women stop castrating men!! It's driving me crazy. And I totally disagree about the media. I think the media has been SOFT on her because she is a woman! If they critisize her, women like "Dee dee" scream "Sexist!". If women ruled the world there would be a lot of gossip and backstabbing. They'd come out with "shoe stamps".

Dee Dee,

Is simple ssaying the same thisng as Geralding Ferarro. White women has never had to prove anything, all she has to do is be white , cry and talk about how priviledge life she has had, But all Black people regardless of thersocial economocal status they have always had to prove they were better prepared for the task and even when proven they still did not get to opporunity.

She Dee Dee is so lost on the facts about Whit women and Black people or Black men.

Dee's said it right. This is how it is. Nut jobs and the Obama campaign, hmmm. Hillary is far more impressive then any presidential is/was candidate in 30 years.

The people who yelled "Wash my Shirt" at her rally the day before her make or break New Hampshire primary. They were two fat wacky local radio hosts. They had no reason to heckle her, when interviewed they just said it was a joke for the radio show. I doubt that; the timing and and other incidents the same day lead me believe the hecklers were planted by her staff. They send off emails for contributions every times there is even a tiny bit of misogyny. It is used to gain sympathy and donations.$
