Regardless of where one stands on the topic of American corporation’s role in distributing health care birth control, we can agree that it is a crucial issue….however as a woman, I don’t want to be defined by it either. Though I can’t speak on behalf of every woman, many of us care about more than contraception accessibility. Among all of the varied issues in which we share with men’s passions, we also care quite a bit about the economy ourselves.
Before we decide to debate as a nation in regard to birth
control distribution, perhaps we should make sure there are actually more jobs
that offer health care in the first place.
For many millennials, scoring a job with health benefits has become the ultimate
American Dream.
Before we complain about the (lack of) accessibility of
birth control, shouldn’t we tirelessly fight for equal pay? It is ridiculous that this is still an issue
in 2014. I feel wary when I hear politicians
make promises to assure equal pay. At
the end of the day, it is evident that this is surely a scheme to win women’s
votes.
I pray that politicians don’t view us as second-class voters.
We prove to vote more often than our male counterparts. In the 2012 presidential election, female
citizens contributed to 63.7% of the voter turnout.
We are your daughters, sisters, mothers, wives, co-workers,
and in many cases even your bosses. Even though there is a small percentage of
women employed in upper management, women make up the majority in middle
management. In addition, more women now
have advanced degrees than men. Clearly
“women’s issues” are also men’s issues too.
Dear politicians, in order to win this wary voter’s heart,
you are going to have to do more than presenting your strategic speeches
directed towards women. We prove to
stand tall as a complex, passionate, diverse and ambitious crowd. Don’t define us (solely) by fertility or
fertility prevention, but consider us in nearly any and every political issue and
you might just win our vote.
Well said! Sad to agree that women ARE still viewed as second-class, especially in the workplace. P.S. I saw Interstellar, did you?? Wrote a short review on my blog ;)
ReplyDeleteHopefully as long as politicians realize that women vote more often than men, they will consider us in each and every issue. Haven't seen Interstellar yet, but we are definitely going to see it this week! I will definitely take a gander at your review!
ReplyDeleteBTW, are you gonna attach your blog onto your google plus account? That way when you comment on another person's blog they can easily find yours...if you want them to, at least!
ReplyDeleteNot sure if I have. (Still a little new to this.) All I have done thus far is include my link on my Google Plus page as a contributor. How am I able to fully attach my blog onto my google plus account?
ReplyDeleteSomehow people connect them so that posts show up (not sure how this is done, I don't have google plus!). But you can at least put the website under your name so it is easy to find.
