DE-EVOLUTIONARY TEACHING

Students in Florida haven’t been doing well on national science exams. So, what’s a board of education to do?Why, pass a new curriculum that mandates the teaching of evolution (good, so far) but calls it “a scientific theory.” Sort of like the “scientific theory” that the earth revolves around the sun?…READ THE REST AT WOMEN’S VOICE FOR CHANGE.

CLAY FEET

I’m not surprised to discover Senator Barack Obama has clay feet. I would be more surprised to discover that he was the second-coming of the political messiah that many of his supporters seem to believe. That he is hedging on his pledge to only use public funds for the general election should he be the nominee, or that he copied Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick’s prose are chinks in a wall of supposed perfection that always sat on shaky ground…READ THE REST AT HUFFINGTON POST

WHO WOULD ELEANOR ROOSEVELT ENDORSE?

Would Eleanor Roosevelt endorse Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama if she were here today? I’m asked that a lot as I travel around the country talking about my novel in which Eleanor runs against Ike in 1952. It’s a fair question. She was a champion of both women’s and civil rights…READ THE REST AT HUFFINGTON POST

THE FOX FAIRNESS FANTASY

Keith Olberman needs to go on red alert. Hillary Clinton says Fox News Channel has treated her more fairly in terms of coverage than MSNBC. Could it be that the channel using the most objectified, smutty and often inane images of women during the video feed that accompanies stories is mending its ways? Is it possible that Fox will soon allow women on-air who aren’t talking blond mannequins? If so, Clinton will have cracked the mirrored ceiling in the penthouse of sexist television. Whether she wins the presidency or not, that’s quite an accomplishment…READ THE REST AT HUFFINGTON POST!

HILLARY HAS FEARS TOO

I’m traveling this week, promoting Eleanor vs. Ike and speaking about Eleanor Roosevelt’s great leadership. I had the privilege of speaking to nearly one hundred women in Sacramento, California on Wednesday, February 6th, the day after Super Tuesday.

They were a wonderful audience of women in high-level jobs in state government and education, and they loved hearing about Eleanor’s exploits… READ THE REST AT WOMEN’S VOICES FOR CHANGE.

FRIGID NO MORE

A very close friend told me recently that she was diagnosed with a condition new to my ears: vulvodynia. Her story makes me furious.

Turns out that for about one hundred years women have been complaining about pain in their genital region. The pain may be burning or stinging, sometimes constant, sometimes just upon pressure like during intercourse. For some women, the pain is so severe they have trouble sitting for long periods of time.

Vulvodynia is hard to diagnosis, and for a long time the medical establishment didn’t try very hard. Throughout most of the last century, if a woman complained about vaginal pain she was told she was imagining it. She was told she was crazy. She was told she was frigid and phobic…READ THE REST AT WOMEN’S VOICES FOR CHANGE
