I very much feel that marriage is a sacrament and that sacrament should extend... to that legal entity of a union between what traditionally in our Western values has been defined as between a man and a woman.
A married woman has the same right to control her own body as does an unmarried woman.
In the end my pursuit of the elusive New York State driver's license became about much more than a divorced woman's learning to drive for the first time.
I'm writing a book and working on my one-woman show Learning To Be Human.
I have terrible handwriting. I now say it's a learning disability... but a nun who was a very troubled woman hit me over the fingers with a ruler because my writing was so bad.
As a woman my style defines my leadership. It's a gentler more compassionate approach. I consult I listen and I compromise where it's in the best interest of the citizens.
People more than ever since I can remember are concerned about being out of step and out of line with their political party and won't cross over. There is nobody man or woman who wants to be left out and people are fearful of that. People are fearful of their leadership as well.
If a guy is intimidated by a woman in leadership he has real problems with his own concepts of masculinity. That's a harsh statement but I believe it to be true.
Maybe if everybody in leadership was a woman you might not get into the conflicts in the first place. But if you watch the women who have made it to the top they haven't exactly been non-aggressive - including me.
But I do not believe that the world would be entirely different if there were more women leaders. Maybe if everybody in leadership was a woman you might not get into the conflicts in the first place. But if you watch the women who have made it to the top they haven't exactly been non-aggressive - including me.
