I like that story. I never would have thought it would have been in Texas, though.

of course, there were concerns raised (by men) about an all female council. you very rarely hear men raising concerns about an all male council. and texas as a progressive state? looks like the Bush clan don't have total control yet.

Well, there is something to be thankful for in Texas then.

Postmaster Diane Manuel's somewhat tongue-in-cheek rationale: "We have people skills, and we're a lot better to look at than most guys."


She added, "You know why else women run this town? They're not as cocky."

The mayor and aldermen are all grandmothers, and Baer said their experience has made them "good multitaskers."
"Women can change a diaper, stir a pot of stew, take a phone call and use a leg to drag a toddler out from under the counter," she said. "We don't mind asking questions and saying we don't understand something."



Of course if any man had made these kinds of comments in reverse he would have been labelled as a sexist misogynistic bigot perpetrating hateful sexual stereotypes!!


Still it's about time women started to play their part and understand just how hard it is to take on the responsibilities traditionally borne by men.


Even if it's in a hick rural town of just 830 people.

I guess you were born yesterday, Gary. Women have been doing all that and more for a very long time.

Really?

So why did this story make the news?
