Just something to ponder on this Women's Suffrage day.
Yes, yes, I know there's many intelligent women that are very informed on what's going on in politics and domestic & foreign issues, probably more so than I am, but c'mon lets face it, most women when faced with a daily choice of reading, listening to or watching something of importance like political news or information, which profoundly affects our daily lives, most are going to choose girly magazines, music and shows like American Idol, The Kardashians, The Girls Next Door, etc. Total brainless rubbish, these shows are.
Countless times I've asked women why they voted for a particular person, or where they stand on a particular issue, and it usually comes out the same way. They have very shallow knowledge on the subject. I'm not saying they're dumb, most just don't have an interest in politics, even though politics affects their lives in such a huge way.
Should we have a more informed voting base is what I'm asking?
