		<description><![CDATA[Let’s not waste time debating whether sexism was a factor in Congresswoman Michelle Bachmann’s failed bid for president. It was. Let’s instead focus on what we will do about it. Because something needs to be done. Not that we wanted to see Bachmann in the White House. God no. But nor do we want to see Ron Paul, Rick Santorum, Rick Perry or any other anti-woman candidate get elected. But why is Bachmann going home and not the other non-Romneys? For several reasons. First, there is a double standard at work. Susan Mulligan at U.S. News points out, “Michele Bachmann, the Tea Party-approving Republican Congresswoman from Minnesota, has said some crazy things… All of that provides a solid basis for questioning her as a candidate and wondering whether she&#8217;s suited for the Oval Office. But has Bachmann said or done anything more bizarre than some of her opponents, including several who are above her in polling in Iowa?&#8221; Not really. Second, women don&#8217;t &#8220;look presidential.&#8221; Remember when Washington Post columnist Richard Cohen wrote, “I can think of no reason why anyone who, for some unaccountable reason, supports Michele Bachmann will not move over to Perry… Perry, who actually looks like a president …” [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The latest presidential election cycle has only just begun and already we are engaged in some lively discussions about the sexist treatment of candidate Michele Bachmann. Was the Newsweek cover photo of the Congresswoman and the accompanying headline sexist? Was the &#8220;submissive wife&#8221; question out of line?  Sexism may seem more out in front during a presidential campaign but it exists in politics all the time &#8211; and at the state and local level too. Some of the sexism is over the top, and some not so obvious. To help you easily identify and respond to unfair treatment of female politicians, here is &#8220;The Hello Ladies Guide to Sexism in Politics.&#8221; Overt sexism: In this category we have the outrageous remarks that make you scream, &#8220;How does this person (insert name of person who spoke or wrote the sexist comment) keep their job?!&#8221; Examples: Conan O&#8217;Brien sidekick Andy Richter&#8217;s recent tweet that read, &#8220;There&#8217;s nothing wrong with Michele Bachmann that two solid weeks of orgasms won&#8217;t cure.&#8221; Statements like that one attempt to reduce a female candidate to a shrew, a sexual object, anything but a viable contender for the job. An Alex Beam column in The Boston Globe during the Massachusetts Senate race last [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Terry O&#8217;Neill from the National Organization for Women (NOW) says yes, it is. Salon&#8217;s Joan Walsh says no, it&#8217;s not. And feminist icon Gloria Steinem says it&#8217;s borderline. Pundits are split on whether or not Newsweek&#8217;s decision to run the unflattering (we can all agree on that, right?) picture of presidential candidate Michele Bachmann was sexist. Why is it so hard to figure out? I think  it stems from the way the media has conditioned us to think about and view women. When so many young, female characters on television are sexualized, when even the most beautiful women in the world are airbrushed, when we see too few images of strong, athletic women and when so much of our news comes from the male point of view, we struggle with what is reality, what is media manipulation, how we view other women and what we&#8217;ve come to expect of how the media views us. And then add politics to the mix and things get even more distorted. With such small numbers of women participating in politics, the media turns the few women who do into Everywoman. Remember, for example, how a vote for Hillary Clinton was portrayed as a vagina vote, not a vote [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Geraldine Ferraro died yesterday at the age of 75 from complications related to blood cancer. It’s Women’s History Month and Ferraro was definitely a woman who made history. In 1984 she inspired generations when she was chosen by Walter Mondale as the first female vice presidential candidate of the United States. In her concession speech, Ferraro said, “My candidacy has said the days of discrimination are numbered.” Ferraro’s run was marred by sexism, including a comment from Barbara Bush who said of her husband’s opponent, “I can&#8217;t say it but it rhymes with &#8216;rich.” However, many credit her candidacy with changing the political landscape. More women were elected to Congress and appointed cabinet positions post-1984. Ferraro had been a Congresswoman prior to the 1984 election, representing Queens, New York. Following the election, Ferraro remained a strong advocate for women and was not afraid to speak out against sexism. She was a fierce supporter of Hillary Clinton&#8217;s campaign, getting herself in hot water for some comments she made about Barack Obama. We owe a lot to Geraldine Ferraro. Thank you.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Last week I posted a question at SkinnyScoop: Do you think a woman will be elected president in your lifetime? Most of the respondents (81 percent) said yes. No one answered definitely not. I sure hope the respondents are right, but getting there won&#8217;t be easy. One respondent at SkinnyScoop wrote, &#8220;We are ready and there are more of us than them, we just need to get out and vote ladies.&#8221; It seems simple. But it&#8217;s not. The sad truth is we haven&#8217;t moved past the misogyny and sexism we witnessed during Hillary Clinton&#8217;s candidacy. Senate hopeful Martha Coakley didn’t do herself any favors when she made some bad campaign decisions last winter but the press didn&#8217;t do her many favors either. And the Republicans don&#8217;t seem to treat their women much better, as Newsweek recently pointed out. I remember during Clinton&#8217;s presidential run people groaning about the word misogyny. &#8220;I&#8217;m so sick of feminists talking about misogyny,&#8221; friends and coworkers would tell me when I was discussing things Tucker Carlson, Chris Matthews, Glen Beck and Keith Olbermann had said on television the night before. I challenge those same people to come up with a better explanation for Playboy&#8217;s recent [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Greetings from Boston! &#8220;We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.&#8221; This weekend we celebrate the adoption of the Declaration of Independence.  Thank you to all who support and protect us. Today seems like a fitting day to remember the women of the world who are yet to celebrate independence. Learn about CEDAW – The Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women &#8211; an international treaty that supports fundamental human rights and equality for women around the world. CEDAW was adopted in 1979 by the United Nations General Assembly and entered into force in 1981. To date, 186 of 193 countries have ratified the treaty. The United States has not. &#160;]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Iceland&#8217;s prime minister, Johanna Sigurdardottir, just got married – to another woman; the country&#8217;s marriage equality laws went into effect this past week. And for the record, Iceland elected its first female president, Vigdís Finnbogadóttir, thirty years ago. Now that&#8217;s progress. Meanwhile, Australia has a new prime minister – its first woman to hold the position, (progress) and she is unmarried, which is causing significant discussion. Julia Gillard, elected June 24, does have a boyfriend and the Sydney Morning Herald is concerned with their living arrangements. In article titled, &#8220;Shacking up is hard to do: why Gillard may be leery of the Lodge,&#8221; writer Bettina Arndt worries that, &#8220;as a popular role model for women, her lifestyle choice may influence other women into making big mistakes about their lives.&#8221; That mistake is &#8220;wasting precious breeding time in such uncertain relationships.&#8221; Wow. That doesn&#8217;t feel like progress. The newspaper even ran a poll asking &#8220;Do you agree that Julia Gillard&#8217;s de facto lifestyle is a bad influence for women?&#8221; So far 78 percent of respondents have said no. That&#8217;s progress. And here in the United States, the closest we&#8217;ve come to electing a woman to lead the country was Hillary Clinton&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[By now you&#8217;ve probably heard that Washington Post fashion columnist Robin Givhan took on Supreme Court nominee Elena Kagan and her wardrobe in Givhan&#8217;s column this past weekend. She wrote about Kagan, &#8220;mostly she embraced dowdy as a mark of brainpower.&#8221; Why is it the media always assumes women who don&#8217;t relish fashion are making some kind of statement? Last month Kate Betts at The Daily Beast tackled Hillary Clinton&#8217;s wardrobe and &#8220;distinctly dowdy pumps.&#8221; Betts wrote about Clinton&#8217;s Oscar de la Renta suits, &#8220;She wears them to fit in, not to stand out, and that’s what bugs me.&#8221; How does Betts know that? And how does Givhan know Kagan dresses to send a message about her brains? They don&#8217;t. Yes fashion can make a statement – a powerful one at that – but only for the people who care about that stuff. Remember that episode of &#8220;Sex and the City&#8221; when Berger says to Miranda about a guy who never called after the first date, &#8220;he&#8217;s just not that into you&#8220;? Well guess what Givhan and Betts, some people just aren&#8217;t that into fashion. Some people, believe it or not, wear clothes because they have to – clothes keep them [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Today was the 114th running of the Boston Marathon and a record number of women participated as registered runners. Out of 26,790 entrants, 11,350 were women. That&#8217;s an impressive number considering women have only been allowed to run in the Boston event for 38 years. From the start of the race in 1897 up until 1972, women were barred from participating. It doesn&#8217;t surprise me that women were excluded in the beginning. It annoys me – but doesn’t surprise me. But I didn&#8217;t realize women were barred during my lifetime.   When I hear about this kind of blatant gender discrimination happening just one generation ahead of me, I wonder how my parents and teachers had the gall to tell me I could grow up to do or be anything I wanted to be.  What made them believe that, when they witnessed blatant discrimination first hand? I can only suppose the women who took risks and shattered stereotypes were so inspiring that people wanted to believe the doors they opened would never close behind them.* Now that I am raising a daughter, I am more cautious than my parents were about what I tell her. I feel I should set [...]]]></description>
