Reply #139: Well let's see...when would she run? She will be 69 in 8 years....Ageism reared its head in

this primary. McCain was taken to task for his age as was Hillary (at 61).

Hillary is the only politician (at her level of being a candidate for pres) ever to have strong feminist principals. In my opinion we are long overdue for a president who puts women and children first in foreign policy. I am glad she is Sec. of State.

I think she will have to level the playing field for all women as Sec. of State. Bringing women's issues to the forefront will be helpful to us.

The double standard for women is high (people are already saying Gillebrand has no experience yet these are the same people who voted Obama - who had "no experience."

We have to take people to task for the double standard and let people know our numbers:

We are 52% of population

We are 17% of the Senate and House
20% of the Governors
0% of Executive Branch

The UN released a study this year called "Who Answers to Women?" It showed that women in countries where there is gender parity in parliaments women and children do better in those countries.
The US ranks 57 in the world in terms of Gender Parity.
