Repub men don't want to admit women are better at governing -- or because women legislators might actually <gasp> COMPROMISE to pass bills.

That old line: Behind every successful man is a good woman. They seem to think it means men lead instead of meaning they need the boost.

a stench of Religious Control by the White Male dominated leadership of American Churches. Same roots as the Anti-Abortion story and it's founding. Same little minded male hate filled people. It's nothing more than a wedge issue.

heard or read anything or even have seen a book by a so called master? Some where between 0 and 5 on the top side. Socrates would blow the minds of most Rethugs today.

The story relates how many bills were introduced by women and the number of bills co-sponsored by women but not ONE word about how many of those bills were actually passed. An effective legislator gets things PASSED. Anyone can introduce or co-sponsor anything.
