Women legislators turn attention to men’s health
This CNN report brightened my morning: Ohio Senator Nina Turner is absolutely right. It’s only fair that legislation across the country pay as much attention to men’s reproductive health as women’s. Certainly the focus has appeared to be tipping too far toward women’s health in the last few years. It is critical we maintain a … Continue reading
A woman’s take on Herman Cain

In the first of several posts, WC gives a little background on each of the participants. They … Continue reading
Most women supported Hillary, so why didn’t I?
Post-primary statistics say 60% of women voters supported Hillary Clinton over her male opponent, Barack Obama. And no one seems to be disputing that feminism was very much at the heart of it. Stats also say a similar percentage of seniors (defined as 65 and older) backed Hillary. So this morning I found myself wondering … Continue reading
