>If you want a fair playing field and if you want to see women organize into an effective political force, then you need to take away all the financial assets (advantages) that men have in today's society and implement the requirement that 50% of all Congressional slots go to women.

You can't do the latter... remember, congressional seats are determined by district -- what would you do, declare that my district has to elect a man and the next one over has to elect a woman?

I completely agree with the former, and I'd posit that the way to accomplish it is to institute public financing of elections.
