Where Are The Women?

Who is most qualified to represent us than those who the decisions most affect?

Representation at 16% isn't fair or equal. Let us; the Republican, the Independent and the Democrat women stand united asking for fair and equal representation by our government. Women make up 52 % of the population, we hold 49% of the jobs and graduate 56% more than men do. We do most of the shopping and do most of the spending, we choose the schools, and make the major decisions about where to live and work. We make all the health care decisions for the family. When discussing any policy that affects the majority of the population, who is more qualified than those who is most affects? We the women of this United States are uniquely qualified to discuss every major policy and even more qualified to discus those which deal directly with female human anatomy than an all male panel yet we find ourselves under represented, not relied on or even called upon to discuss govt. policy relating to our personal choices whether to take a pill.We have to tolerate lewd jokes from old men regarding the use of a pill, yet I can’t imagine a panel of women banishing and the ensuing lewd jokes we can make at the expense of the resulting limp noodles!
