Today, there are two women being highlighted in the news. Caroline Kennedy because she wants to take over Clinton’s senate seat and Michelle Duggar because she just had her 18th child.
I find these two diametrically opposed women’s presentations fascinating . Kennedy was born into a rich, famous, and political family led by males. Duggar is religious and keeps popping out kids.
Kennedy is being criticized because she has not voted in many elections. Ok. I am not sure why and I think that is not a good thing, but the fact of the matter is, many people have not ever voted. They see it as their right. I am not sure how not voting in some elections makes her unqualified to have a senate seat. But lots of people are saying she is not qualified. Heck, she only lead the team that helped pick Obama’s vice prez. She has only been working all these years, but never has had a job in quite the limelight as her dad and brother.
My take is people are still abhorred that a women would want to do what the USA had ruled as Men’s work. It is uncool to say it though. And instead, people grasp at straws and make excuses.
On the other hand, the news media is rejoicing today over the Duggar family. 18 kids and counting. I am saying counting because these religious nutjobs believe in the “Quiver” movement. Which means that women’s main role is to pop out children. That is all we are good for.
No one (but me probably) is questioning whether this family should have the mom and dad medically evaluated. No one is questioning their murky way they make a living and support themselves. Hell, TLC has helped fund the mansion they now live in.
TLC… you can come and video me and record my life if you pay off my student loans! 
Not only is having 18 kids not good for a body, how is it good for a family? The buddy system? I was resentful growing up when I was 10 and had to care for my 5 year old brother and 1 month year old sister. Playing grown up is fun, but actually having to be a grown up when you are a child sucks.
But I start to digress. So an educated professional women who has proven herself is getting raked over the coals. An ignorant, stupid, uneducated women is being praised for making the most unintelligent decisions ever!
Tell me where our society has gone wrong!?

I enjoy and respect your blog. Would you consider exchanging blogroll links?
I don’t care about whether links and comments agree or disagree with my views as long as they are witty or intelligent, and your blog is both!!
The only important thing is that we all have intelligent discussions about how to lift up America for our best possible future.
Our future is what we make it, and idiot Congress and moron elected officials have proven by example that if we do nothing, we have no future.
It helps to have some entertainment, satire and laughs along the journey.
