Looking for a new roommate is never easy, but when Brooke decides to interview a potential roommate herself on the reality show; Brooke Knows Best, she jumps right into the sometimes taboo subject of politics. She declares that she “isn’t really into voting,” and can’t believe that a woman actually ran for president. She believes that women are completely governed by their emotions, PMS and Menopause. Brooke says that if she were president she would be “crying one day and yelling at someone the next.”
Obviously her perception of women seems to be a bit skewed, and she comes across as exceptionally unintelligent. I would recommend her reading up on the issue of politics, particularly Thieves in High Places by Jim HighTower or End of Empire by Alex Ziggler. It is fairly recent that women have really gotten more equal rights, and there are so many rights that we still have to fight for. Birth control is an excellent example.
“In its final days the Bush administration is drafting a new regulation that deliberately confuses the definitions of contraception and abortion and could seriously jeopardize women’s access to birth control. The new rule would allow doctors and health-care companies to deny women birth control.” NARAL Pro-Choice America
Women already have so many things that we are fighting for, not just feminists. We are capable and intelligent. Look at the single mom’s out there, if they can do all the amazing things that they do, why couldn’t a woman be president? It is pure ignorance to say that women run strictly from emotion to emotion. Unfortunately we don’t have the option anymore of voting a woman president into office, but it’s about time the “old boys club” got shook up.
What do you think about a women running for president, and what do you think about Brooke’s views?
