Strong Women Part I

|

I don't agree with all of Sarah Palin's politics, in fact lately, I have adopted little more than disdain for politicians in general. But having said that, I can't help but admire Sarah Palin for being a strong, self-assured leader without sacrificing her female sexuality.

I recently read how when asked about the difficulties of balancing her political career with her home life, Palin responded with: “I have a husband. I could have used a wife.”

In talking with women friends about Palin, I am surprised at how many do not like her for various reasons, the least of which often seems to be her politics. But be that as it may, whether one is Palin fan or foe, the point to me is how radically the climate has changed in my 50+ years on Earth regarding roles of the sexes. Forty or so years ago, unless your name was Jackie Kennedy, a woman would never have received such notoriety and attention in the mainstream media. And then, she would be relegated to following in the shadow of a man.

Can you imagine the likes of Jackie Kennedy, or perhaps Eleanor Roosevelt saying they could use a wife instead of a husband? Look out guys, times surely are changing.

I also dont agree fully with her but if she is a women and i dare say she will be better then most of the guys ruling us who over the years have brought us to the extinct of the planet earth. At least she will be better then these guys.

Interesting post.Thank you for writing about how women are changing politics and rewriting the rules of politics and society in general.

Thank you for both writing this blog about Wife-Led Marriages and having be about how to please the wife, insstead of just focusing on BSDM.

I hope that you can write more posts on the changing status of women in society and how women are becoming more and more empowered everyday and how this is changing the power dynamic between men & women .
