2012: The year of women political leadership

There will be various countries across the world having general elections, notably USA, France,and Kenya. This is the right time for women to flex their numerical muscle by voting for women! Then again, women can do what they always do: VOTE FOR MEN! This is akin to CONFUSING ACTIVITY WITH ACHIEVEMENT!Just because you vote doesn't mean you made a difference! Women FOUGHT FOR THE RIGHT TO VOTE, and I am pretty sure it wasn't so that they can vote for men and perpetuate patriarchy...!

Kirchner, Rousseff, Johnson-Sirleaf,Thatcher, Gillard ..

These and more lady-leaders should serve as proof enough that given a chance, ladies are as good leaders as (some even better than) men.

Lady, you have the power to give ladies the chance:vote for them! Be part of LADIES -CHANGE- THE- WORLD MOVEMENT!

21/10/1945: LADIES IN FRANCE VOTE FOR THE FIRST TIME

of course, all those ladies voted 4 MEN. And chances are that in 2012 majority of them will vote for men.

There is a saying in France : the more things change, the more they remain the Same.

The million francs question is: what's. the point of ladies having suffrage rights if they can't use them to cause real changes??!

Ladies -change -the- world movement !

1/3 of the presidency in kenya should go to women...

How far can we ,as the Kenyan society take this 2/3 constitutional thing? Maybe we should make sure that not more than 2/3 of any man should be a man!

CJ Mutunga to Islam: women are human beings, too. And they are capable of being Kadhis!

I sometimes do have a problem with the way many religions treat women: women are not considered human enough to merit leadership positions in many religions,forget the fact that they form the bulk of the congregations.

I can flip the coin and state that it's actually women who allow religion to treat themas nobodies, albeit with a little help from ignorance. I beg to illustrate using a simple exampleof how women have changed the way things are done in Kenya.

A few years back about (15 years ago) it was inconceivable- nay, scratch that, it was actually considered a sin- for a lady to attend a PCEA church service without a head cover,and I can assure you there are all manner of justifications in the old testament. Some ladies just decided not to wear the head gear anymore, and after much struggle, it is currently the norm, bar for the woman's guild.I can assure you that the trousers are next...

My point in all this is that even those retrogressive religious and cultural norms against women can be changed if the ladies want to.

Sentenced to caning for Driving: Saudi women treated like kids.

I do feel for Saudi women;I wouldn't even recommend caning to children as a way of correcting deviant behavior as it actually doesn't work. Having said that,however, why would a lady want to expose herself to the risk of the Indignity of being whipped just to get the right to drive?

I am stating this in view of the fact that some rights are not even worth the trouble. women in Kenya have the right to drive, Do you know how many women in kibera or korogocho drive? This fight for the right to drive is actually being fought for the rich ladies!

Being caned for right to vote is a bit more understandable ,because even if you are poor one can afford to vote.
