Cuba has more women equality than the US and we wonder why some of these countries are constantly referred to as enemies?? Because maybe they are more Progressive?? Ya think??
I heard this on UP with Chris Hayes on MSNBC I was Stunned. Seems we take so many things at false face value even those of us who feel more progressive, meaning I didn't think my female life in America was as bad as IT REALLY IS even though I know it's still a White Man's World here.
I also remembered something I heard right winger Ann Coultor saying about GOP women "never having to pay for a dinner on a date.."
Why I made that weird connection?? Hmm..
I suppose when a large portion of women want to be submissive or second rate and DO NOT SUPPORT other women for Catty, religious, political, financial and race reasons, no wonder America sucks right now for women! We are SO already Behind 77 other countries!
