Article here. Excerpt:
'More than 300 women, a record high, have filed to run for Congress this year, which means a likely gain of female members come November. In addition to greater parity for women--who’ve been chronically underrepresented--more women in Congress could bring another benefit: Less gridlock.
Female senators have a markedly more bipartisan vote record than their male peers do. Moreover, studies in personality research find that women are more cooperative than men, more willing to compromise, more empathetic and, moreover, more polite.'

Hogwash!

Hogwash! Those who foolishly say the above take no consideration of the feminist hate movement, and how "unsympathetically" they've pushed the vile, feminist hate agenda through fallacious, fraudulent legislation like VAWA.
Female feminists and their male toadies have been "unsympathetic" to the plight of male victims of domestic violence and they've been "unsympathetic" to many males who've been falsely accused of domestic violence. They've been unwilling to compromise with reason and the truth, and moreover, they've been anything but polite in pushing their hate agenda as shown in Witch-Hunting Males at Youtube.
yeah, that's right
let's put more women in the congress.
i mean, it has worked so well with the supreme court. 3 apointments, 3 nut jobs.
one just said that our government model wasn't one that new democracies
should choose as an example. another helped write obamacare and didn't have
enough honesty and ethics to recuse herself from the vote.
and then we have those excellent examples already in congress,
like maxine waters, nancy pelosi, that snow job from maine,
and of course our own favorite whack job, shelia jackson.
yeah, definitely, let's put more wise women in congress.
Moreover, studies in

Yes, I agree wholeheartedly with this statement. And every married man knows the above to be true.
And of course the f'd up economy is George Bush's' fault. Bill Clinton never had sex with that woman. Joe Biden is totally sane. Saddam had weapons of mass destruction aimed at the US. Men are the privileged class in Western culture and there is NO WAR on men and boys.
The usual hogwash
I've been pretty closely attached to mainstream and community politics in Australia for half a century. The ONLY times I have seen voting blocks created on a gender basis it has involved female MPs or representatives. I find it notable that wherever womens' groups have been given the opportunity to run systems they are almost invariably run for women only.
