Amy, women make up more than 50% of registered voters. If they wanted to make a change, it's in their power. You could say that women put Bush in office, twice. I think women are even more vulnerable to fearmongering than men are.

A friend of mine that went to school in UK said the judges are 100% men even today. How bizarre, truly bizarre, truly truly truly backwards if her information is accurate. To imagine that the legal cases are determined by only men and that only men make decisions for all women, is just behind believable. But I guess it runs pretty close to Bushism.

When I get home in time, I watch the new show, Commander in Chief, where a woman has become president of the US. Its quite amazing when she walks into the Senate and the guy announces: Please stand for the president of the United States of America, and a woman comes walking through the doors. In English, the word, president, is almost always thought of as a masculine noun......making the whole thing just that much more surreal.

The show is quite good....probably on the order of a West Wing although I have never watched that show. You should check it out on a friend's tv.
