I tend to agree, that women are really going to find their voices this time around. So many states are attempting to legislate our uteri, control our birth control options, etc.

 

If nothing else, the Tea Party gave birth to the "movement". I think, more than ever, women will unite!

Don't count on it.  His(her)story is not in your favor.

In one of the links I posted, an older woman tells her story of having fought for women's civil rights way back in the day...   and having to refight the same battle against Republicans.

Something ALL women need to think about. "The Good Ole Days" weren't all that good for certain folks...

Can't fully agree.  Plenty of women spoke up. 

Plenty more acquiesced to their husbands, priests, ministers, etc.....

 

Speaking up would have been at the voting booth.  And yet, Hillary couldn't prevail.  Apparently Dem women acquiesce to their husbands.

 

I grew up in a different family dynamic.  My father was a Dem; my mother was a GOP.  And there was no way in any he!! that she would vote as her husband or priest told her.

Read the link.  Baby boomer women and some of a generation earlier believe that ALL women should do as they did.  Yet, women today will get their degrees and opt out of the law partnership, executive management, political leader tracks.  We gave them options.  So we had better not be disappointed when they don't choose our option.

What exactly is "our option"? I am a bit confused.

Hillary and Sarah do not belong in the same sentence.

There is no one option.  There are options.  You used the ALL women phrase, which says their is only one option.

And therein, lies the problem.  Women cannot make choices you don't agree with.

Andrew Kohut of Pew Research says in the Christian Science Monitor that a new national poll shows President Obama leads Romney by 20 points among female voters, and he [Obama] leads Santorum by 26 points among female voters."

 

I’d say that’s a pretty bif lead, wouldn’t you?

It is a poll.  Doesn't mean much in November.
