		<description><![CDATA[Ladies, I get the complacency. I do. I am mostly uninspired by my choices on the ballot. But I will vote. And I hope you do too. Vote because your grandmothers and great grandmothers could not. Women have only been allowed to vote in this country for 90 years. So I will exercise my right in honor of Nana. Vote for hope. Brazil just elected its first woman president and someday we will too? and someday we will too. Vote because you&#8217;re not giving up. Vote because you&#8217;re tired of others defining the &#8220;woman&#8217;s vote.&#8221; You can tell them how you feel, thank you. Vote because we are not going to allow sexist campaign tactics to sway our votes. Vote because women are losing ground in Washington and we are not okay with that. We are going for critical mass. Just vote. And next time around, why not run?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[My five year old had the stomach bug this weekend which meant she spent most of the last two days lying on the couch, snuggling her Daddy and watching the Winter Olympics on TV. How sweet. Not really. Why? Because the Olympics are just one more piece of evidence for my little girl that women are not equal; that she can&#8217;t grow up and be anything she wants to be. At least not yet. It’s disheartening. Men have been competing in ski jumping as an Olympic event since 1924. Women, however, are not allowed to compete in this event. It&#8217;s not for lack of interest. Several women jumpers filed a discrimination suit against the Vancouver Organizing Committee (VANOC) and the International Olympic Committee (IOC), hoping to be able to compete this year. David Amber of ESPN asked Alan Johnson, director and coach for the men&#8217;s project X U.S. Ski Jumping team, why women can&#8217;t compete. The numbers seem to be there. From the ESPN inteview: &#8220;This season [2009-10] there are eight ski cross International Ski Federation (FIS) events, with an average of 18 competitors representing seven different nations; there are 12 ski jumping FIS events with an average of 45 competitors [...]]]></description>
