Rapes or sexual assault against women, 2007

248,300

The majority of US citizens are women; Women are more highly educated in the U.S; Women are continually paid less--by almost 25 percent--than men. Despite a vast pipeline of women in the professional workforce, they are relegated to non-alpha positions. Women are given miniscule representation in government even as they are the majority of the population. Women are largely relegated (most often by so-called progressives) to represent only Democrats in Congress. A staggering national assault occurs daily against women’s bodies with scant attention paid by male-dominated media.

My What a Pretty Dress Mrs. Barack Obama wears as she decimates years of progress for women

Wowwee, Michele Obama is wowing em in Europe with her style. Now I wasn’t ever born yet when Jackie O’ (Michele’s evident Icon) wowed the French with her French. Michele has a degree from Harvard (albeit by her own admission born of affirmative action) and was once upon a time a lawyer of ambition. Yet from there things went downhill, when Obama announced that he’d be leaving the law firm that he worked at and “he was taking Michele with him.”
