I love men, men do a fabulous job often in politics, i'm not looking to supplant men
in politics at all, that's not what this group is about, it's really getting parity, and
the reason why parity is so important is that there have been some excellent studies in
the fast few years that show that the best decisions get made when you have a diversity
of decision makers, and I mean that's just such a simple idea, it took a long time for
people to really understand it, but when you add women to the mix, whether it's in politics
or in the boardroom, the end result is better. So, I think that it's extremely important
to get women for that reason, and it's also our perspective on life is very different
from men, and the reason that I focus , there's a lot of reasons why I focus on young women,
but one of them is that young women have such unique issues in their lives, they have such
unique concerns and frankly most of them have to do about the fact that young women are
in their childbearing years and they need to be represented in policy decisions.
