You go, girl!

First, there was Margaret Thatcher, then Nancy Pelosi.

Now there's Drew Gilpin Faust! First woman president of Ivy League University, elected president of Harvard today. And she's a historian.

And do you know why there is a female president of Harvard? Because the former president had the audacity to say that some things men do better than women! Would a woman get ousted if she said 'Women do some things better than men'?? No, she'd probably get some chuckles. What if your husband got ousted for the same reason, like stating the obvious? And all the women said 'Hurray! He's a jerk, let's get rid of him!'I don't have a problem with women presidents or women speakers of the house but I have a problem with taking a line and treating it like a toddler treats toilet paper, stringing it out to see how far you can go with it and then twisting it around somebody as though they are mummified! (never saw toddler do the latter, there is usually trouble before he gets that far....oh how sexist of me to say 'he' when the toddler could have been a 'she')There, I can be just as passionate as you! And this is for ALL you girls out there! If you want me to expound further with less angst I can. Let me just add this. We do what God calls us to do and what he provdes us to to do, and in that there is dignity, whether your field of *service* be public or private. You can do that without making a stupid political issue out of it.
