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.

As I watched that whacky and frightful U-Tube video of glassy-eyed children singing to their idol Obama, it took about a millisecond before I recalled the freaky documentary movie “Jesus Camp” about Right-Wingnuts inculcating their young kids to religious political action—a primary goal to exercise control over women’s bodies. And in case you have somehow missed the kid’s PrayDATE to Obama, here is that loony link:  |
