What's interesting is that the article cited a poll which found that men only disapproved of Swift's job barely more than women, and her disapproval rate was over 40% in each case.
I know many people in MA who can't stand her. She's had at least a couple of scandals so far, including one where she was caught having her child in day care at the taxpayers' expense. Swift sounds like bad news to me.

Better than when she was demanding her staff babysat them instead of just putting them in daycare, or GASP, not trying to find cheapy ways to parent newborn twins while in the highest, and therefore most demandind position in state government. What a thought.

What sort of work has Governor Swift accomplished, besides being 'A Powerful Womyn'? Honestly. I have no problem with a woman in office. Perhaps she's simply not capable of doing the job required of her, hence the Republican's seeking to replace her.
Let's not forget this is the same woman who last week refused to pardon an imprisoned innocent man, apparently because it might hurt her election chances with the female voter.

What is further intimated in the article about her crying foul was that the Bush administration is proposing a government position for her should she drop from the race. Is there any possibility that this mensactivist dot org could organize a letter writing battalion to let the Bush Admin know what she has done to that innocent man??? And while we're there perhaps the same battalion could be enlisted to actively email or letter write for other campaigns? Just a thought.

good idea! I am all for a email campaign to protest her getting a job in government. I am not a fan of Bush but my respect level would raise if he did not give her a post and stated it was because of her stance on men's issues. (Imagine THE PRESIDENT mentioning men's issues!)

Nope ain't going to happen! Not with Bush.
But if you want to write Swift, here are some
addresses.
It may be more effective to contact her because she seems to be ultra sensitive at this moment to criticism. No doubt she will say this is the work of "powerful men" trying to do her in because she is a girl. Work on her paranoia!

That email address seems to be good. I fired one off to her the minute I read the article and it acknowledged receipt and didn't kick back...

I agree with the other posters.
I think it is a common theme that when presented with adversity at work or elswhere, women are far more likely to attribute that difficulty to gender discrimination.

She's a Republican, right? Then probably not a radical feminist or "womyn" as you say. She's just using whatever rhetoric she thinks will keep her in the Governor's seat. Politicians are like that.

Yeah, radfems are generally on the liberal side, but she's trying to use radfem philosophy to her advantage. As for "womyn," teh feminists made up that word, not us. :)

I know the basis of the word, but I still think it's stupid and not worth perpetuating.

Victimization Tripe
Figures. First this women chooses to keeps an innocent man in jail after he is proven innocent, and now she and her feminist support groups are whining about female victimization when there is a little male competition. Clearly, this is a cry for special rights and privileges on the part of females everywhere.
What is sad is that so many women are dumb enough to accept her cries of victimization, at the first sign of competition from a male, and they will actually vote for her! The next thing that these feminist will want is a weighted index that diminishes the power of the “evil white man's” vote.
If women want respect they will have to learn to oppose dictators like Gov. Swift when they keep innocent men locked up out of an irrational fear. Then they will have to learn to accept competition for their office from all angles. Gees. You would think this women is expecting the race for the Governor to be a team based cooperative effort void of all competition and opposition. Oh. But that is a characteristic of the “evil white man.” I forgot myself. Forgive me.
I know! What she can do is call 911 against her opponent and make a few false allegations. Then of course, because he is an evil man, he will be arrested and guilty until proven innocent. Then she can win the race without the competition from an “evil white man.”

Swift was not even VOTED into office, she ran as back up for Cellucci who left for greener pastures...

This is what happens with pheminists, though. When they can't cut it, find a man to blame it on. Better that then having to accept responibility for themselves.

Besides keeping an innocent man in jail long after his female counterparts have been released, Governor (unelected) Swift is head of one of the most misandry driven family court systems in the nation if not the world!
If you are a divorced man without custody you might as well be living in Stalinist Russia of the 1930's.
