It would seem that way if you aren't familiar with Blogher but BlogHer is an enormous and extremely diverse community. Most of the participants that discuss politics there couldn't tell you what a woman's issue was - we view all issues as pretty much non-gender specific: we want everything addressed, period. Why wouldn't we? You are so cute, Eric. It would seem that way if you aren’t familiar with Blogher but BlogHer is an enormous and extremely diverse community.

That's because ALL those issues are important to women. That is part of the whole effort of many women, especially those who seek office. Why wouldn't all those issues be important to us? :) And frankly, issues like access to birth control damn well should be a man's concern if ya catch my drift. There really is no such thing as just men's or just women's issues like the media tries to get us to label them. Ah! she said with a big grin! That’s because ALL those issues are important to women.

LOL. Guess there were 12. Add a general transportation question. Seems like Blogher getting an interview would be the time to really push important women's issues instead of do a very generic Q&A.
