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.

Miss Donna Brazile worked as hard as a person could to be sure that HRC was not the Woman on the ticket, thus MS. Magazine LOVES her.Friday, January 23, 2009 at 1:09 pm — M.A. Liginter
 Ms. magazine—that hoary periodical for women who have Hero (ubetcha, superMAN) worship for men who call professional women Sweetie --has this in its winter issue TOC line up:
Have the women at Ms. lost their collective subjugated minds? Donna Obama Brazile used EVERY ounce her power to make certain the qualified woman took a backseat to the unqualified man. With Friends like Brazile, women need no enemies!!!! And now, as though women are utter idiots, Ms. magazine has the gall to print Donna Obama Brazile telling us Obama is a strong voice for women? Donna Obama Brazile writing for Ms. magazine is like a Ted Bundy giving commencement at Wellesley—a really bad idea unless you want more dead females strewn over the landscape. |

As much as I hate to say it,
As much as I hate to say it, Tim Kaine as head of the DNC is worse for women than Brazille would have been. Mr. Kaine is anti-reproductive freedom and, Brazile while anti-Clinto and anti-Palin (but would surely be pro-Michele Obama for the White House) is at least pro-choice.
But Obama is trying to flip the red south blue so he would never have picked Brazile because she is black and pro-choice.

@antifish
I did not vote for Obama, but I want to resist hating everything he does because I have a bone to pick with him about sexism. But I have to give it to you, things are looking bad for this guy and talking out of one side of his mouth while doing the opposite action. watchful waiting, we shall see.
Obama has proved he really
Obama has proved he really isnt there to help women.
Hillary usurper Donna Brazile
Hillary usurper Donna Brazile pontificating on Obama's feminism in Ms. Magazine?
In a world where a guy who has terrorist and racist friends becomes president, a tax-evader is soon to head the IRS and a Raytheon lobbyist will take the second spot at the Pentagon, this is news?
I have stopped reading MS as
I have stopped reading MS as a result of thie constant non-information otherwise known as mis-information... or outright stupidity. You can take that magazine and put it where the sun don't shine Donna Brazile.
Look race beat gender for
Look race beat gender for Brazile, fine.. send her to O magazine to write, but spare us disingenuous bull-oney about Obama being a voice for women. Obama torn down Palin's experience as mayor but couldn't take the heat when she returned volley at his community service. Ms. magazine is like a belted sanitary napkins--no longer of any use!
The damage to women by Donna
The damage to women by Donna Brazile is vast! Ms. magazine is about as useful as a urinal to women.
