Obama on track to ensure equity for nation’s women

Submitted by anthony on Sat, 2009-02-07 21:04

Story here. Excerpt:

'Noting that 19 million women are uninsured, Obama has pledged to repair the nation’s health care system, support research into women’s health, and fight cancer. He said he will support moves to invest in women-owned small businesses, strengthen laws against domestic violence and provide for women’s reproductive rights.
...
The president said he will protect Title IX, which ensures that female students and employees at all levels of education are not discriminated against, and help empower women to prevent HIV/AIDS. Women make up 45 percent of the workforce but hold only 12 percent of the science and engineering jobs. Therefore, Obama has said he will help increase jobs in science and engineering.'

Let all the poisons that dwell in the Democrat party hatch out.

Uhh, why not increase the number of male teachers, councilers, nurses, medical field in general. You can't just magically pour people over to a field expect that field to thrive with excess people looking for work in it.

Obama's picture on the cover of Ms. very well could have revealed a t-shirt that read: This Is What A Politician Looks Like.

He's a pol at the top of his craft.
He, like others in D.C., are unaware of a men's rights movement or men's issues. Therefore, he panders to the most visible, powerful group——the one who brung em. It's up to us to make ourselves visible or we can expect a hellish next few years.

I especially like this line:

    He advocates better health care for women veterans, pointing out that there are 1.7 million women who have served in the armed forces, and the number is rising.

What about the majority men vets who were physically and psychologically mangled? Is health care for the females worse? Probably the opposite.

I guess, it was not a question of 'If', but a question of 'When'...
'When' will he start making all feminist policies and decisions...
