Being a male, I can honestly say I want more woman elected to congress.

[shockey80]

Many of the woman elected this past election have been outstanding in their brief careers. I am proud of them. They remind me of the America I grew up with. Many of the men who serve in congress have failed us for far too long. It is time for a change and I believe the way to get there is to elect more woman to serve in congress.

1. My husband said the very same thing the other day. In his opinion, the whole government

should be turned over to women to run.

2. To be honest

I've been SO tired of seeing photos of our Elected Representatives, who are nothing but old white men. As an old white man myself, I' HAPPY to see an electorate more representative of who we are. Now, let's see if we can have a female President in 2020?

3. Same here.

There won't truly be representative government in this country until the porportion of women in Congress is equal to the percentage of women in the general population, i.e. roughly 51%.

4. More of them appear to welcome Republican hatred.

Men like FDR are more rare nowadays, it seems.

8. Yes InDEED

The ladies are doing a fine job. Giving us much to be proud about.

9. Those who say the sex or race of a candidate doesn't matter are wrong.

Studies have made clear that women and persons of color do a much better job, overall, of representing the interests of women and persons of color.

And given that the Republican Party would cease to be viable if not for racism and sexism, efforts to combat racism and sexism are incredibly important. There is always a backlash to progress, but each time we make progress, we bend the arc toward justice. Electing more women and persons of color to the highest offices in the land has much more value than some (including some Democrats) seem to realize.

10. As a fellow male, I agree 100%.

This creepy, macho nonsense that's permeating everything today needs to be toned down quite a bit.

11. Electing more Democrats elects more women

because the Republicans are institutionally sexist.

12. More women in congress would be fine, if ...

... they're Democrats.

Otherwise, more Democratic men would be ok.
