Not to mention the loads of tv shows that portray men as doofuses.

As a woman long involved in the affairs of her country, all I can say at this point is that the same people own both the Republican and the Democrat parties. Go Tea Party!

I’m a woman and if I had my way:

1. Women would not be allowed to vote.

2. Women would not be allowed to drive.

3. Women would not be allowed to manage other people.

There are good reasons why women are not supposed to run (ruin) a society and all anyone needs to do is to look at matriachial societies and what a mess each and every last one of them is.

To me the only thing more disturbing than women running things are the spineless excuses for men who let them.

I’m a woman also, and I can tell you that when I worked in a factory, it was impossible to watch anything other than ESPN in the breakroom during the time when an all-male department was in there for lunch. “Male and female He created them” is the explanation.

You’re right on both of those counts, and I wouldn’t want to have anything to do with political correctness politics if I were a young white male either.

But still, unquestionably the older white guys do most of the running of most institutions of significance. I’d say young white men get a mixed message: they are guilty, almost by and from birth, but they are still ultimately in charge of most of the world.

Why don’t you just have your male family members escort you in a permanent move to Saudi Arabia?

It would be nice if the people we pay to represent us, would. Instead, they care more about those who broke into our country, and people around the rest of the world. Take from us and give to those who would not spit on us if we were on fire. Like George Bush, stealing our money and giving it to Africa. And now Obama is doing the same thing.

It ain’t what Liberal men don’t know that gets us all into trouble. It’s what they know for sure that just ain’t so.

(Apologies to Mark Twain.)

As a female in her 70’s, I have to agree. Many females, when you talk politics will simply repeat what the MSM says. Or worse yet, don’t know anything that is going on outside of their personal life...

The problem isn’t one of gender. It’s ignorance run amok. We need a voter’s test.

1. How many senators in the Senate.

2. Name two presidents in the 20th century before JFK.

3. Who’s the current vice president.

4. What basic right does the 2nd Amendment give you.

And so forth.

“Why don’t you just have your male family members escort you in a permanent move to Saudi Arabia?”

And why don’t you go find the perfect pair of shoes to wear with that lavender cashmere sweater of yours?
