Male Veterinarian Appointed Acting Director of Women's Health, FDA

~Hell why not just appoint "Drownie"?~

Symbolic of the importance the Bush Administration places on women's health, a male veterinarian has been appointed by Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Commissioner Lester Crawford as acting director of the Office of Women's Health. Norris E. Alderson, PhD, has spent the majority of his career at the FDA holding various positions in the Center for Veterinary Medicine.

The Office for Women’s Health, which ensures that the FDA remains gender sensitive and monitors the progress of women’s health initiatives, was most recently headed by Dr. Susan Wood. Wood resigned late last month in protest over the FDA’s refusal to grant over-the-counter status to emergency contraception.

5. I hope everyone learns about this
If you are a man, this is a horrific insult to you mother, wife or girlfriend, sister, or daughter. The symbolism is unmistakable.

8. Sexism
is real in this country and woomen had better learn what feminism IS,before they listen to some resentful male's definitions,learn to fight for thier rights even if men get uncomfortable with what she says,..Because more men should feel uncomfortable about thios so called"enlightened" society treating women like this and should feel shamed.
