I back Obama, through Labor, Spring, and Occupy, but not with his official campaign. I don't want to get too cozy, because I want to pressure the shyte out of him once we get him his second term. His campaign isn't paying me, and I don't try to hijack any Occupy or Spring actions vs. the 1%, but my co-protest activists (allies) know where I stand. Scalia could be replaced with a paper weight, and it would be an improvement. But you're right, a woman appointee would be great. Call Rose Bird out of forced retirement, she rocked. That's why repug govs Wilson and Dukemeijan targeted and eliminated her from the bench. A 5 woman 4 man court would be more populationally representative, and we all love Democracy.

I don't call myself a feminist, I self-appelate as 100% Equal Rights, including LGBT. I'm a straight guy, but both groups are my allies. It sure doesn't hurt me to see that my allies get all of their rights. Since I work heavy construction, commercial and industrial, saying I'm a 'feminist' isn't the best outreach method to a bunch of fun loving guys, but my Coalition of Labor Union Women allies see me backing them on the job sites. The boys might not like it, but they'll fight about anything anyhow, even moronic stuff like use of company tools. So at least if they have a problem with equal rights for women co-workers, at least we're fighting about something important. I agree with your 4th para sentiments mostly, except that daycare is a labor issue, not a Women's only issue. And equal co-parenting in employment law would be a tremendous advance for men and women, the family, society, labor, and the world. Probably the Scandinavians will have to get on that one, we're too primitive over here currently.
