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.

The New Agenda discusses Palin Run in 2012Monday, August 29, 2011 at 11:46 pm — admin
TNA’s Amy Siskind on Fox & Friends discusses a possible Palin Run in 2012 This yet again shows Siskind's total equanimity as a voice for 4th Wave Feminism. The Dem dude just does the tired old she's too stupid, and the Repub guy is more measured but I was pleased to hear out loud from a male the truth... which is... Palin is a smart cookie. We do hope that Palin does not make a run for it just now, as the reality is Palin on the ticket hands this back to Barack. We'd like to see Hillary challenge Obama in the primary but...we know that is too much to ask of her unless... Now in 2016, the gloves come off and we want all and any females on the ticket. |

2012 Quinnipiac Poll Perry
2012 Quinnipiac Poll
Perry 24, Romney 18, Palin 11, Bachmann 10, Paul 9, Cain 5
Obama (D) 45, Perry (R) 42
Obama (D) 45, Romney (R) 45
Obama (D) 48, Bachmann (R) 39
Obama (D) 51, Palin (R) 37
These numbers cannot be ignored. As much as I'd like to see a Palin run it would be handing Obama 4 more years on a sliver plate. I don't want to see a women run. I want to see a woman win. In 2012 there is no possible way a woman can win.
