com'on you laughed.....inside you know you did.

228 years... 45 presidents... 0 women... even though they represent half of the population

is there a bigger issue than that?

I'm sorry but I don't think this is an issue at all. I'm sure someday there will be a women President but as of now only one has tried.

only one has been able to get far enough in the political system of the US TO try.

Do you think female politicians are being held back from running or just a lack of female politicians in general? I think currently there are only 4 active governors who are women.

It's because some men are scared of women in power, and not all women realize they could be powerful. . .but this is becoming neutralized as more women have executive roles. It's taking a while.

I'm not sure it's taking a while but maybe I have a skewed view. My boss is a women. My companies CEO, CFO, and some of the VP's are all women.

Yup. It reminds me of an old joke that I know. Want to hear it?



Pretty good, huh?

I think, as Haiku mentioned, it's only very recently where it's been accepted that woman can be leaders in government, at least in the US. With that in mind, it's going to take a VERY long time for the playing field to even out. yes, I do believe that women are being held back. It's not easy to get into federal politics without moving up the ranks unless you are supremely rich. And making those strides at that many levels would be, I think, incredibly difficult for a woman in many parts of the US.

I think private enterprise is a different animal. Same species, different animal. while it's still not easy for women to break the glass ceiling, I think it's far easier than being successful in general politics.

no.......but why would that be on your mind ? I mean hay it's cool and all to have thoughts and all, but really...it seems a little odd.
what was jokingly meant is that there are very few real men who are liberals.

I would disagree with that. I don't know to what extent. But I wouldn't say half of cops should be female because that job attracts a lot more males just on the type of work involved. I wouldn't ay half of all nurses should be males because that job attracts more females. Or half of race-car drivers, or most of jobs that are heavily influenced by one gender.
Yes, some of that has to do with culture, but I think there's more to it than just culture. Politics attracts more men, probably some due to culture, but what extent I don't know.
Point being not every job should be equal men and women. Agreed it should be closer to even than it is now, but we shouldn't strive for a perfect gender balance in every career.

But what if more women are deciding to run. Thanks to Emily's List and the momentum of the Women’s March more women are looking into running. Women needed inspiration and support and they got it. (2018 here we come!)

It could be 50% of governors, and if it's 100% why not.

Ruth Bader Ginsburg said that there should be 9 women Supreme Court justices because for so long no one complained when all of the justices were men, so why should people complain if all of the justices are women.

RBG is kick ass.

So men, and especially white men, shouldn't get the right to vote for about 100 years too then, and it would balance things out?
Doesn't seem relevant to me, and accurate to say an imbalance now will correct a previous imbalance.

I didn't mention anything about men not voting.

Let's assume men and women vote, and all Supreme Court justices are women. Do you have a problem with that?

I prefer that the diversity of the justices would reflect the diversity of the country. Wouldn't you?

Now, considering the cases RBG fought for in her career advocating on behalf of women's rights, I think she earned the right to question what is possible in the legal field. I'm reading a biography of RBG and Sandra O'Connor. Gutsy women.

I would have a problem if it was intentionally done as a response to the lack of women who previously served. Which is what I thought you (or Ruth) meant. I know you didn't say men shouldn't vote, but if you were to intentionally prevent men from serving on the supreme court to balance out history, to me that would be the same logic as not letting men vote since for so long women couldn't.

If the 9 best people were chosen for various reasons (and not chosen specifically to vote a certain way on 1 or 2 cases), and they all happened to be women I would not have a problem with that however.

I don't agree that it "should" be 50% anybody. it should be who is elected without preferential treatment of one group/gender/etc over another. and let those chips fall where they may. If it's more women? fine! if it's more men? fine! but it needs to be who the people chose, not who the establishment chose.

Seriously? Real Men? Conservatives are the biggest group of pants-shiatting, bed-wetting cowards there are.
They're confiscating our guns!

Their immigrants are all terrorists!
The entire GOP platform is built on stoking the fear of insecure little men who know nothing other than to lash out at any scapegoat that is presented to them for their own shortcomings.
