"2018 is the year of the Woman!" I heard this statement on an NPR story this morning and with all that's happening it makes sense.
The women in this country are fed up it seems with what is going on in the world. You have the #MeToo movement, Pink Hat march, more women running for office. What say you? Is it a bigger trend for things to come?
Will people rally around women simply because it's the "In thing"?
Are women rallying just for women?
Do people really want a change from the status quo?

Or not?

I do remember when women became a force in music, sports, movies and comics in the not so long ago mid 90's. I'd like to see a resurgence in all of that and in politics.

Any Year of the Woman will just be a hollow gesture until women are given the same respect afforded to men.
I was hoping for some decent dialogue with this topic but apparently I won't be getting it.
To be honest - even though I knew it existed, the level of sexism and sexual assault in Hollywood was an eye opener. Hopefully this continues to spill into every day workplaces.
Yeah, I'll likely be voting for only women for the rest of my life, except for special circumstances
If the candidate is a woman and the best then by all means vote for them.
