RECOMMEND and SHARE if you agree that we need more women in US Congress.

1. In a logical, common sense universe..

the gender ratio in both houses would mirror the ratio in the general population; since it doesn't, we radical lefty progressive hippy dirt worshipping tree huggers need to continue to expose the discrimination and prejudice that has been in effect, oh, I don't know, forever? Thanks to all on DU who are active in this effort, even just to expose the wackery.

2. Progressive women

and men--let's be specific

[Samjm]

3. Yes!

The sign I held up at a Womens Rights rally earlier this year says it all:

Women are:
51% of the Population
46% of the Labor Force
17.2% of Congress
12% of Governors
??????????

5. We need more honest, competent people in Congress

I don't care about things like gender, race, etc.

6. What if only 17% of the people running for Congress

are women? That's the number I saw quoted for females in the Congress.

Is there any evidence a woman running is at a disadvantage due to her gender when running against a man?
