Our Next VP
Come on American Women . I feel like I am hearing something from the 50's
These concerns and question about having a pregnant teen or how many kids they have would not be asked if this same thing happen to a man who was running for President or Vice President.
Men SHOULD and do have the same pressures of being a parent ( no matter how many children they have)
Men SHOULD and do have the same pressure of being a husband
Men SHOULD and do have the same pressure of dealing with serious issues that effect their families.
So what makes it different for a WOMAN
When I read these concerns and questions it makes me think that the majority of being a parent rest on the woman's solely on a shoulder.
What happen to equal partnership in a marriage and being a parent.
Every candidate that is running for a office is married and has a family.
It really hit me this morning as I was listening to a radio station. There were callers were saying she would make a irresponsible VP because she had a baby at 43, had five kids, carried a special need baby to term and her teen daughter was pregnant.
Here I am a mother of five, had a baby at almost 44, carried my son who is mentally retarded and I am labeled irresponsible and should never be considered running for a important office or have a important role in society.
I actually cried all the way home for this biggest reason
I THOUGHT when we nominated a black man for president and Mrs Clinton almost won that just maybe we have started taking off blinders that all men and women are equal no matter what!
I was wrong especially after what I have been reading on the liberal left wing websites and what I heard on the radio this morning....
