i am increasingly discouraged by what appears to be a growing anti-woman sentiment in this country. it seems to have escalated since senator clinton has been running for the democratic nomination, but it's not solely because of that. perhaps the threat of a woman at the helm has ruffled the feathers of misogynists who have become complacent. i don't know, but whatever is causing it, i want it to stop. i can't make this gathering on march 5, but i am happy to read about it here because it gives me some hope that others are concerned as well.
