Voting for a male & female in each district for true equality

Our present system does not represent the genders equally.  Men dominate, and womyn are not adequately represented.  In other words, 51% of our citizens are not represented adequately, and the male minority do not want to give up control to the "weaker sex."

The reason for this horrible injustice is basically historical, and based on the following reasons:

GOVERNMENT
Elected Prime Ministers – all MEN.
Elected Premiers - mainly MEN
Powerful cabinet officials generally MEN
Elected Representatives – mainly MEN (Approx 80%).
Political Power in the hands of MEN…dick-tatorship.

SUPREME COURT
MEN always have the majority, therefore, they get to decide every law, and even when all the female Justices oppose it…justice just isn’t!

MILITARY
The Generals or military commanders consist mainly of MEN.

RELIGION
Bible written and edited by MEN…could that be why Mary Magdalene was known as a prostitute for so many centuries, or the three Magi are wise MEN?  Historical Church leaders are usually MEN…ah! Men

SCIENTIFIC COMMUNITY
Nobel Prizes to mainly men with the little womyn left with penis envy..

COMMUNICATIONS
Radio, TV, Newspapers, Movies, and Internet principally controlled and owned by MEN…promoting his-story.

MEDICAL
Too many unnecessary female mutilations…his-torectomies.

ECONOMICS
The vast majority of companies CEO’s are MEN (over 90% approx.).  There are a few token womyn, but generally they stop at the cement ceiling. Only a few BITCHES succeed, the others whip up a Martha Stew.

FOREIGN AFFAIRS
NATO is the meeting of almost nothing but dark suits, with the occasional blue dress.  The G 8 is nothing more than a universal testosterone gang…womyn G-strings.

CLASSIC ART & MUSIC
Galleries, Theatres, and Libraries filled with art, books, and symphonies done mainly by MEN…Museum of historical male creativity (Mozart, Van Gogh, Shakespeare, Picaso Michelangelo,and Beethoven).

SPORTS
The highest paid sports personnel are MEN…football, basketball, soccer, car racing, hockey, baseball, boxing, and horse racing…HE-men.

Canadian  Christian Democracy is definitely of/by/for MEN, with a few token females. Testosterone flows thru’ the veins of  power in All Canadian Political institutions.  Check out the number of womyn actively participating in any Canadian political meeting.

Men are in charge of government, military, entertainment, communication, professional sports, international affairs, biblical matters, and banking.  Why would they want to change?  All of Canadian institutions, including the parliamentary system, are dominated by men, although it is a VIELED equality in which womyn compose the majority only in the following categories:

   - Sexual Abuse
   - Poverty
   - Physically Abuse
   - Arthritis, Lupus, Chronic Fatigue, Fibermyalgia, and Depression - Powerlessness

In reality womyn in BC/Canada aren't much more represented than the womyn in Afghanistan.  We simply get to see the bruises better.  With the complete inequalities in the system the only way change will occur is through external intervention.  Men will not, nor want to give up power, and control!  I propose we adopt a system that we vote for a womyn and a man in each voting district...Stop pitting the genders against each other...an unfair battle, and start representing the genders equally in parliament...to date, equality is simply male propaganda.

We do not live in a Democracy
We do not have Equality,
We do not have Open Votes in parliament
Rarely do women get to truly participate in the Power of Government

And the Holy Spirit cries...Roman Ruins still Remains,
                                                     Blood Thicken the Rain......

Please make this presentation Count and this female voice heard in the halls of political change.
