A Million Thank Yous~

They need our support. They are the providers and their children, well they are our future. A bright and beautiful future!

15. Love you back, she!

Women are the bedrock of a civilized society, the quiet strength behind our men, and the go-to for ensuring that our future, our children, are prepared for a better tomorrow.

It irks me that in this country, unlike countries like Norway, Sweden, Finland, Denmark, Germany, Holland, and Belgium, women aren't given the respect we're due in our society. We are not equals here. This country is still very male-dominated.

An attorney at the law firm where my daughter (and soon myself) works as PR Marketing Director, bemoans how she has to work three times as hard as a male attorney to get any respect. She's an excellent tax attorney, but she says that male CEOs have trouble hiring female attorneys - and this woman is NO pushover!

4. Women need to vote DEMOCRAT. We are the majority in this country yet

the most suppressed between the two sexes.

There's a disconnect we need to fix.

[sheshe2]

9. I never get why we are so suppressed.

Mind boggling~ What the hell did we ever do to anyone? Did we hurt the male ego some where?

Yet we can fix it...we vote and vote and vote Democrat!

16. It's a cultivated mindset - handed down through patriarchs in American families.

That's what I think.

These men consider smart, intellectual, and independent woman to be a threat to their (instilled and perceived) superiority.

Many misinterpret the bible's role for men and women and would rather have their women "submissive" - although Eve was anything but. After all, she got Adam to take the bite out of that forbidden fruit even when he put up some resistance, didn't she? .

The thing is, women, too, are at fault here. Some have allowed men they know to dictate their lives and didn't put up any resistance or even tried to claim their worth. Some women were raised to believe that they are lesser than a man. This destructive mindset has got to stop, and it starts with our own daughters.

We need to raise them to believe in and respect themselves, and that having a male partner in life is a partnership that's co-equal in every way; using each other's strengths as they work together, as a team, toward a common goal - raising strong, independent, and educated sons and daughters who respect rather than dismiss the good qualities of the other sex.

17. Still hard for me, I was not raised that way...

Yet there was abuse in my parents marriage. I know, that does not make a lot of sense, yet it is true. Abuse, yet being taught to be strong.

I went on to have an abusive marriage. Guess what, it lasted three years and then I walked away. It was mostly verbal... yet in the end I did indeed know that I was strong. I never looked back.

respect rather than dismiss the good qualities of the other sex.

Exactly BCD!

6. True. Women are, by default, the safety net for lives left behind. n/t

[sheshe2]

13. They are freshwest.

That in itself makes them the most challenged and the most important role models for our children. Mothers are our future, because they teach our children. Some teach them well, yes, some do not.

I have hope, yet we need to bring them out of poverty. The Shriver report is an amazing study. Let us hope that we will see change.

7. Nearly fifty years ago, in the late 1960's, I was a telephone operator.

I worked for Ma Bell. It was a pretty good job. At that time, all, meaning ever single one, of the long distance and information operators were women. I'd say maybe half were married, many of them had kids, and most of them had husbands on the premises. But I recall being told that those women's husbands earned little enough money (even though I have long since forgotten the actual numbers) that if it were not for the working wives, the families would be in poverty.

This was in the era when the expectation was that a married woman didn't work outside the home. She especially didn't work if she had children. The reality was that even then many woman and mothers, even those with husbands who had jobs, needed to work to support the family properly. And if there is no husband or father present (and why is simply not an issue) then the women absolutely must earn a decent income to support those children, to make sure they grow up with adequate resources to get on with their own lives.

I've long felt that the best way to make men understand what is really at stake, is for women, in a divorce or other breakup of the household, have the children live with their fathers. Let them deal with the day-to-day realities of feeding them, making sure they get to school, keeping doctor and dentist appointments, fixing their meals, keeping the house clean, and all of the many things that women are expected to do as a matter of course and get no credit for doing.

It's incredible!


We know the President is listening, she..

Maria Shriver meets with President Obama at the White House to report on The Shriver Report: A Woman’s Nation Pushes Back from the Brink

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Today, Maria Shriver met with President Obama in the Oval Office at the White House to brief him on the findings from her latest Shriver Report. Her statement on that meeting is below.

“I’m delighted that the President could meet with us today to hear about the startling findings of the Shriver Report, produced in partnership with the Center for American Progress. I told the President that the bottom line message of our report is that, if you lead with women you’ll have a robust economy and healthier families, and if you leave them out, you won’t. President Obama told me that he would like the issues we highlight in the report– paid leave and sick time, pay equity, access to benefits and child care — to inform the summit he is hosting this spring on working families. We look forward to working with the Administration and a bi-partisan coalition on the important public, private, and personal solutions raised in our report.”

18. "paid leave and sick time, pay equity, access to benefits and child care"

What a dream.

Every employer should be required to provide at least a legal minimum in paid leave and sick time. That's just common sense. We should encourage all working people, men and women to take time off when they are sick. Laws requiring that employers give [aid leave and sick time will be healthy for the entire nation.
