I have come to the thought that like other social movements we women need allies, loud and brave men to stand with us. There are not enough women in office, and here they often sell us out to their biblical beliefs. We do have a few very strong women in office but few is the keyword. We have a truly amazing NOW chapter. The chair and lobbyist is really something, but I fear there are enough men who truly don't care as long as they get what they want. I hear too often that they are just not interested in women's issues as if that does not affect them negatively. Does that mean that it is a positive movement for them? In many I do believe that is the case. It makes me sad.
