Women reps in Congress are still treated horribly by the white, boys club and this is a microcosm of our entire country. I am so frustrated that 13 white men were chosen to craft a bill for MY health are. I could go on and on and on... Basically I see strides in equality between the sexes as one step forward and two steps back! We STILL do NOT have an Equal Rights Amend! America is so backwards compared to 2/3 of the other progressive countries. Geeze, even 3rd world countries have had elected female leaders for over 50 years. America is not ready for a female president and most people I know agree that is one of the top three reasons Hillary lost (Comey, Russia, then gender). No one wants to address this issue ever. It is the elephant in the room. My friend couldn't understand that there are women want to hold other women back and agree with men about gender inequality. I have no respect for them and do not consider them real women.
