A Long Way to Equality

If you thought that Hillary Clinton's success in the 2008 presidential election meant that we were pretty much close to our goal of equality between men and women...you thought wrong. We have a long way to go before we see more women not only in U.S politics, but also being respected on an equal level. The unfairness that I witness and hear keep me obligated to use my blog as a tool of equal rights for women and respect to us, among us, and within ourselves.

I came across a disturbing video depicting the very ugliness in politics against women that we often hear about but are too shocked to even believe true. Please watch this video: the WHOLE video. It is composed by the non-political organization New Agenda, which fights to put more women in power. I promise you, you will certainly be entertained by this video.



Hit her in the mouth with a "leg of lamb"? Little boys uttering, "put her in her place". And G. Gordon Libby, a prominent political figure stating, he hopes that another female politician isn't "menstruating" when working. These are just a few of the things that make me forget that I live in America, the land of the free, the place where justice and liberty preside. Where is all of that? I will not say much more about the video because I believe it speaks for itself. But I do encourage you all to keep your eyes open, your mind open, and try to be that little bit of difference in this country that we so desperately need.
