Story here. Excerpt:

'When Tzipi Livni, Israel’s foreign minister and a candidate for prime minister, spoke before a group of women lawyers last week, she received three standing ovations. Her male rivals in the race had to make do with polite applause.

“Whether we have a female prime minister is up to you and your vote,“ Livni told the 200 or so women, who promptly rose to their feet, clapping and cheering.
...
However, running second behind the Likud Party’s Benjamin Netanyahu and with her male rivals attempting to undercut her credibility, using language some describe as thinly veiled chauvinism, Livni has pulled out the gender card, possibly in realization of the potential strength of women voters.
...
“I want a woman in charge—a woman has more of a sense of responsibility for her people,“ hairdresser Rachel Rubin, 54, said during a break at the salon where she works.'

When you can't compete in a fair race, you can always play the vagina card.

You simply castrate the male.
This forces them to be competitive with the females.

if it was anything like this country,
who wants to bet the whole shebang wasn't paid for
with tax dollars? probably ours.

unprincipled, privileged, pampered, pompus, pretentious
parasitic p%$$ies.

they will NEVER have the respect of men
using underhanded methods.

maybe respect from others isn't important
when you have no respect for yourself.

no air freshener will ever get the stench out of that room.
