The Speaker at the National Press Club today was Stephanie Schriock from Emily's list, a group with a stated mission of getting pro choice women elected to congress. The transcript is not up yet, so this is not a word for word quote, but she remarked that if we had put women in charge of solving the fiscal cliff, there would have been a deal a long time ago.
I was left wondering if there would be 'equality' for a man if he made a similar statement, try "If we had a man as secretary of state, the Ben Ghazi situation would have been handled better." I think not, but the double standard is nothing new.
The unfortunate result of that comment and many others made during her speech is that I (and perhaps others) can no longer take her, and Emily's List, seriously on any issue they speak on.
Rhetoric like that may have made you popular in your dorm room, but you're an adult now, and in a position of leadership, it's time to grow up.
