What Happens When Women Legislate
NYT ^ | April 18, 2017 | BRITTANY BRONSON

Posted on 04/18/2017 2:52:37 PM PDT by Mandingo Conservative

Cheaper tampons. Office breaks to pump breast milk. No co-pay on birth control...Although the 2016 presidential election is mourned as a symbolic impasse for women’s progress...Many have called President Trump’s election a wake-up call for American women, one that has inspired their increased grass-roots activism and political involvement...It’s why Hillary Clinton’s remarks last month encouraging young women to run for office were so poignant...Republicans still lag far behind. Bringing more Republican women into the fold could play an enormous role in repairing some of the irreparable damage done by Donald Trump’s candidacy when it comes to how the party talks about women.

Studies also show that although female politicians have a wide range of positions, they often are more compassionate, better at working across the aisle and more willing to compromise, qualities intricately bound in successful policymaking...An increased presence of women in elected offices will not only advance gender equity, it will subsequently help men, because women lawmakers are proving to be, across all the issues — women’s or not — more productive lawmakers.

What happens? The question really should be, what happens when the wrong women legislate, mainly socialist minded, left wing Democrat women. Logic and critical thinking go out the window and feelings and emotions take over, taxes go way up - higher than we want, government gets bigger, men & boys are demonized by government, schools, more unborn baby humans die in abortions, more welfare spending, less fiscal conservatism, weaker in national defense, unfair sex and race based quotas that really discriminate against the most qualified...And look at Germany and the trouble that female leader has unleashed. Another piece of agitprop by the NYT and the main stream enemedia.

More what?

More evil minded and vindictive towards men perhaps ...

Like the lady legislator collecting over $10,000/month wanting to make it a felony with a minimum fine and no maximum fine to be a day late or a dollar short on child support !

A complete and total lack of empathy for orders exceeding 100% of a persons income...

Extra special treatment for women in divorce court - and increased toxicity and hostility towards men in divorce court !

Again this deceptive lie is pushed yet again. These same women who lament the loss to the sisterhood with crocodile tears are the very same women who actively worked to destroy Sarah Palin.

They are too dishonest to come right out and say that they are really for leftist women ONLY. So stop perpetuating this lie that somehow Hillary is the patron saint of the sisterhood.

With the Left you just lie until you acquire power and then you go all in on suppression. The Left is fascist and simply will use any ruse to disguise their true intents.

If the goal of getting women into office is to legislate cheaper tampons and cheaper dry cleaning for women’s clothes, that’s pretty pathetic.

It’s no coincidence that wars have worsened since women got the vote. Their reluctance to take violent action when necessary enables vicious psychopaths like communists and Nazis to build huge armies. If the Brits and French had simply gone in and hung Hitler when he was small a lot of misery could have been avoided. But women don’t like to vote for “mean” people. “Mean” meaning “effective”. No they want the touchy feelie nice guy, like a Trudeau or a Chamberlain who will dither and delay until one now has to fight a powerful enemy.

I realize that’s not all women, but a serious majority of them. That’s my misogyny for the day.

When women legislate - women get more free stuff (according to this article)

When men legislate - men are subject to the draft

No. I think, as women join men in bearing the costs and the benefits of citizenship, women and men will no longer be so exaggerated in their different perspectives.

Women vote themselves free crap, paid for by men’s labor and protection.

I keep telling my liberal friends that feelings are highly overrated and they keep looking bewildered…the men as much as the women. I finally talked the smartest of the women out of swooning over the poor Snowflakes.

Maybe they’re vindictive toward men, but there’s nobody more vindictive toward women than other women. Women have been the nastiest and most psycho people compared to my male bosses.

“Studies also show that although female politicians have a wide range of positions, they often are more compassionate, better at working across the aisle and more willing to compromise, qualities intricately bound in successful policymaking...”

Point to an example of Nancy Pelosi “compromising” with a conservative. No? How about Barbara Boxer? Barbara Mikulski? Claire McCaskill?

You get my drift?

Well said.

These people think we are idiots, I guess.

But Trump actually did better with the women’s vote than most of his GOP predecessors. So feminizing the Trump Train is a non-starter.

quote-It’s why Hillary Clinton’s remarks last month encouraging young women to run for office were so poignant..

Biblically, Hillary and Bill are great examples for us of the curses in the garden of eden. (Genesis 3:16 and 3:17)

And why this nation, which was once a blessed patriarchal form of govt, has devolved into a cursed matriarchal form of govt.

Hillary desired her husband’s position as head (of marriage, family, even head of state)
And because Bill listens to the voice of his wife, the nation came pretty close to having a curse.

and that wouldn’t change if it was a ‘conservative’ woman.
a ‘conservative woman’, at least if ‘conservative’ means grounded in the bible, should know their role. but they too are no less cursed from the start to desire their husband’s position as ‘head’.

Something that has brought curses to the ‘church’, too.

Not sure it would preach in too many places.
