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 womens progress...Many have called President Trumps election a wake-up call for American women, one that has inspired their increased grass-roots activism and political involvement...Its why Hillary Clintons 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 Trumps 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 womens or not more productive lawmakers.

And when men legislate, they have prescription coverage for Viagra and not birth control pills.
Man have no basis for whining about that one.
Not much different than when liberal men legislate, is it?
The issue isn’t gender.
The issue is conservative vs liberal.
Couldn't we at least get free racquetballs?

All of the stated things in this article is why I rarely vote for female candidates. They govern by their “heart” and not by their head, which is usually stupid and expensive to the taxpayers!
Ex bolted in 2012. Had to pay child support until November 2017 even though kids lived with me. Had to hire a lawyer and after 10k in fees she had to pay nothing.
Sorry to hear, went through a similar situation
What a waste of bites and bits....The NYT needs to die..the only thing good about is the crossword...and truthfully I can do crosswords on my computer...
The downfall began in the Eisenhower administrations. Unfortunately.
Bill and Hill in the Garden of Eden?? My gosh...Bill would see if there was something in there to give him a Lewinsky. Bill and Hill in the Bible is like me in a nuclear science textbook...
quote-Bill and Hill in the Bible is like me in a nuclear science textbook...
I think some would be okay with labeling them Ahab and Jezebel from the bible- which would fit prophetically too. types, shadows, prophetic pictures.
But Presidents certainly do play a prophetic role in the USA- The word America, in one study I saw, was a word with parts from languages that put together, meant ‘Kingdom of heaven’.
A nation on earth representing a national ‘kingdom of heaven’, if true, would have some biblical significance with its leaders.
It makes Bush-Clinton-Bush not an accident.
It makes Barack Obama, words that can be found in the bible, not an accident.
It makes Trump not an accident.
Hillary wanting to be President is the same thing as Eve was cursed to want to be the ‘head’ of Adam and rule over him. call the shots. ‘wear the pants’- even down to her always wearing ‘pant suits’ spoke prophetically.
Her husband could have said no. But because he listened to his wife, (Genesis 3:17) the nation came pretty close to having Jezebel leading it.
She did, though, symbolically not literally, get pushed out of window from a tower- a Trump tower.
If their record of governing is anything like their performance at running protestant churches, we are doomed.
Depends on the KIND of woman.
Margaret Thatcher was an incredible leader.
Palin, Bachmann, and a host of other Conservative women are great leaders as well, the problems start when LEFTY womerns lead.
By almost every single metric, our quality of life has dropped since women got the vote.
Most women are simply tools used by the left to further their hateful agenda. That they are so very credulous does not engender respect on my part.
Apparently even the NYT does not have editors anymore.
Mothers who lack resources are given them by the government.
Fathers who lack resources are threatened at the point of government guns.
This is based on an entrenched stereotype of women as the only real parents and men as individuals obligated to pay women.
