The Congressional Super Committee Should Be 50% Women
Why should the Congressional Super Committee be 50% women? Let me count the ways.
- women are 50% of the electorate (talk about taxation, cuts or spending without representation)
- it’s not “affirmative action” to include half the population in the country’s decision making process
- it only takes three women on any Board of Directors to significantly and immediately favorably impact the bottom line (no, we’re not better, we just destroy group-think)
- it’s God’s plan – one man, one woman, right anti-gay activists?
- more women, fewer testosterone-fueled ultimatums (I didn’t say none, I just said fewer)
