While I wasn’t too impressed with Ms. Winter’s lecture, because of the generalizations that she made, (others have already touched on that, so I won’t go there) I found some of the antidotal stuff very thought provoking.
Right now, if we (as a country) continue on the path we are right now, it’ll take 200 years to achieve political parity. That means it’ll take 200 years for there to be any kind of gender balance in politics. 200 years is almost as long as the United States has been a country. Of course, that is assuming that political thought will stay stagnant. It took 43 presidents, and all those years of history to open the door for Obama. Can we really say that it’ll take as long as that to reach political parity? I really doubt it.
1 out of 4 children think it’s illegal for a black person or a woman to be the president. I wonder if they are thinking something different now.
The three H’s…husband/hair/hemlines…can any of these things be more interesting than a woman’s agenda. Unless she’s Brittney Spears or some other Hollywood train wreak? I don’t think so. Even Palin’s agenda was more interesting than her “first dude”, her $10,000 a week stylist, and her $150,000 wardrobe…
1 woman=man enough? 2 women=cat fight 3 or more women=agenda
