In reply to the discussion: As a woman [View all]Tx4obama
(36,974 posts)30. Exactly! I've been really pissed the past couple of days ...
and especially this morning while watching Morning Joe - a bunch of men sitting around spouting off about what is a WOMEN'S ISSUE,
and Mika sitting there not hollering at the men! She should have said: What gives you the right to say that a woman's birth control bill prescription shouldn't be paid for by their insurance company? And why do you think that insurance companies should pay for a man's Viagra but not a woman's medicine?
Grrrr....
And then one of the cable networks had a Catholic bishop on as a guest, and he was an asshole. He shouldn't be on TV spewing his BS about what insurance companies should be and should not be paying for regarding WOMEN.
Bottom line: We need MORE females in The Senate, in The House, in all levels of government (state and local), on TV as 'talking heads', etc.
Not long ago I composed an OP here at DU www.democraticunderground.com/100292720
about the need for more 'females' in The U.S. Congress and there were a couple replies that inferred that 'gender' wasn't that important.
YES GENDER DOES MATTER.
There is a no better advocate for women's rights than a WOMAN!

As a man, I am sick of it too. Let's play "walk a mile in someone else's shoes" for a minute...

The "Party of Less Government" still wants the government to tell you what you CANNOT do.
