Pussy Power!


Canadian politician Belinda Stronach

from one of my admirers....

I'm absolutely convinced that you're right about a likely increase in women in politics. It's inevitable. The gender playing field has evened out considerably, yet the female representation in the most powerful political positions has not. Not yet anyway. But times they are a changin'. Without Hillary Clinton's empassioned vocal support, Obama would have struggled. And McCain has clearly received a boost from Sarah Palin's involvement. This just serves to demonstrate that the political western world, like never before, is finally ready to hand power to the females. There are hot female policitians in the US, Canada, Sweden, Switzerland, Belgium, just to name a few.

The problem is that although the female electorate can identify more easily with a female candidate, a lot of male voters seem inherently chauvinistic and resistant to change. These type of men usually only roll over for supremely tenacious aggressive females or extremely pretty ones. So, while a surge in female politicians is a welcome inevitability, I'm also relishing the prospect of seeing hordes of beautiful women, or 'dollyticians', strutting their political stuff. Let's face it, I know, from first-hand experience, that we men can be easily ruled by a pretty, intelligent and dominant girl.
