On Anniversary of Women's Suffrage, Parity Is Still Elusive

Reader Comments

Back in Psych. 101, we were taught that a women's basic premise was based on emotion and a man's, was logic. Now, I believe I would rather have a logical person behind my sales desk rather than an emotional one

....you're not going to get angry about that, are you?

Why don't you try getting a life , boyfreind , husband , kids , something , women nowdays can do what they want , they have a funny way of making most men do what they want us to do .

Genes , having children , motherly love and all that might have something to do with parity . Lets not forget PMS , I suppose it's unfair men don't get that along with the time of month . May-be a higher power planned it that way .

That's what's great about America as aposed to Muslim countries , anybody , women included , can do anything you want , just get up and do it , it may not be easy , but you can .

Quit with the blame game .

That's "women" who were vice presidential candidates. Oh, and Bonnie women can be mothers - men can't. Where's the "parity" in that? Motherhood is the most important job in the world, and you are a fool not to understand that.

A woman who was Vice President candidate.

I found parity a troublesome subject in politics. Unless the powers to be in the party are being prejudice toward women. Did not notice reference to that.

There are many fine women running for office in my party One that I know of was CEO of major corporation. Women are near equal in voter numbers to men..
