Zeta, this is the one I decided to post to you for obvious reasons. You may have already received this from Sen. Barbara Boxer. I did and I was very impressed by what she had to say about some Republican candidate for 2014 elections "being coached" on how to "talk to women". I think these folks need to be coached by their mother, wife and daughters and not by the Republican party. Just notice how sensible Huntsman is even though he is a Republican. He has very smart daughters who I am sure constantly tell their father not to stray too far away into the Republican party fold and begin to disrespect women.

If some of our menfolks have to be "coached", then should we even wonder why the next President would not be a woman? Oh no, I didn't mean Palin. May be that is what the right wingers who lurk on this thread are thinking.

Here goes
===============================

If Republicans were truly interested in reaching women, here are six easy steps they could take to get started:

  1. Support equal pay for equal work
  2. Stop trying to dismantle Obamacare, which provides more affordable coverage for women and forbids insurance companies from considering domestic violence to be a "pre-existing condition"
  3. Raise the minimum wage, which will help millions of women support their families
  4. Stop threatening to close Planned Parenthood clinics and other women's health facilities
  5. Respect a woman's right to make her own health care decisions
  6. Stop trying to cut nutrition programs for children

There is a song from the Broadway musical "Camelot" called "How to Handle a Woman" that came to mind when I heard about the GOP's latest sensitivity training sessions, and the lyrics seemed appropriate to share:

How to handle a woman
There's a way said a wise old man
A way known by every woman
Since the whole rigmarole began


Do I flatter her? I begged him answer
Do I threaten or cajole or plea? ...
The way to handle a woman
Is to love her, simply love her
