Stop Sexism

I am making this blog, because I am sick of the media's treatment of women politicians. These woman who have managed to shatter the glass ceiling in their work environments, deserve to be applauded; not ridiculed.

So you do not believe in a particular women’s views, OK, at least acknowledge, they have a right to feel and act as they see fit. I am not very fond of Sarah Palin-but you have to give her credit for what she has accomplished. I can value her as a strong and independent woman, even if I do not agree with her ideologies. Kudos to Sarah Palin and Hilary Clinton-they have had to deal with a great deal of muck when it comes to the news personnel creating negative environments for them.

Are you sick of this? Of course, I am sick to death, it makes me sick to know that my little girl watches the news and sees how the media is treating women. How do I explain, how do I tell her, sexist behavior is not appropriate? How do I appeal to my other daughters and tell them sexist’s behavior is not the right thing to do or to condone? Why is this allowed to happen, how is this possible in the 21st Century? I do not get it. I do not want to get it, I want it to change and I want it to change now!!!

What I think? I think people need to be valued for who and what they do. Gender, Religion, Race should not play in any part of any process. Let us start by taking off tally sheets where you are identified by race, gender? How about that, let us get rid of the profiling and quotas? Let us teach our children that every human being on this planet is valuable. Let us teach our children to respect others and respect other people’s ideologies, even if they do not agree with them. I am very left, but most of my friends are very right or in the middle. We can debate and not raise feathers.
