Ladies,
We are 53% of the world's population yet look at your local, state, federal governments and see how many women are representing you there?
(This should probably go to the political boad).
Make an effort to vote, and vote for women.
33% representation is the magic line, under that most elected women officials will make their decisions based on what the men want (ie. more bombs, more war), above that line women start voting with their hearts/guts - for future generations, for the planet, for our (not that I have any) babies.
I'm just a bit distressed with the world at the moment, still trying to figure out what I can do about it. I know that with more women in government, things would not be quite so bad - in fact I'm sure of it.
So, if there's an election coming up in your area soon, vote for the woman, if there isn't a woman representing your part, lobby your party to get a woman representative.
Run yourself!
I don't know, I'm just feeling helpless but so desperately want things to change.
Cheers,
Julie
