We were asked to read this: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/07/22/women-in-politics_n_5607061.html
Id like to start this blog by saying it seems to show a sort of discrimination(to me at least) in the way it describes that women take the main roles/chores around the house, and because of these roles/chores they are deemed unfit to run for a political position or make politicaladvances. This would seem like a fitting topic of debate in like, the 60's or 70's. Right now, it seems like a disscusion we shouldn't be considering. If we are to have equality in our nation, then we need to promote it from a governmental standpoint, like when uncle Sam wanted YOU to join the army. But it seems like the government isn't really focused on supporting its people in the same way it supports itself or maybe the laws have changed.
The argument that Lawless states, disscusing that women are just more overlooked than biased against because the candidate seekers dont think of a womens name when they are considering candidates. This seems true but rediculous. Why shouldn't equal examination for candidates occur? The people should be able to run for any political position they want, no matter what a candidate seeker "thinks" about a person.
