Personally, I find the phrase "War on Women in America" rather offensive . I would rather others
view me on a world of other issues rather than female reproductive rights alone.
Women are so much more!!
Today’s woman is educated: There are more with high degrees of education. Women are earning most associate, bachelor's, master's
and doctorate degrees. (For every 100 degrees men got last year, women got 140)
Today’ s woman has earning
power like never before: Contrary to what some want us to believe, the wage gap
has almost been entirely eliminated. (When you compare men and women in similar
jobs, with similar experience, education, years in the workforce and hours
worked, the wage gap all but vanishes)
Today’s woman is
competent: Census data shows women control over 50% of private wealth in the
U.S. and make about 80% of household
spending decisions.
What exactly is this women's
war we are suppose to be fighting in this country? There are thousands upon thousands of women
who are doing an awesome job in a challenging world. I know scores of single
women, who are independent, fulfilled and happy; working hard to achieve their
dreams. Of course, I face challenges every single day as does everyone; they
are just not the challenges certain politicians of a more liberal mindset would
like me to believe.
Is there really a
Republican war on women? If you are
trying to convince me to side with you on that point, you will have to do more
than try to make me believe we as women are lagging behind someplace. We are
not; at least in the United States of America.
I am not a victim of
any corporation or in today’s society at large; I am strong., I have rights, granted
by the 19th amendment .
Access to
birth control is not at the top of the majority of American women’s’ biggest
concerns. Don’t patronize us in that way. There are many other more important
issues to discuss.. Let’s take the focus away from this kind of rhetoric and
put it back where it belongs on more important issues facing this country
today.
