Re: Power to the Women

When a blog has a title like "Power to the Women" I just have to reply to it. I agree 100% with what she is saying, and talking about. Ms. Trejo points out how the government in Texas is mostly ran by white males, and how we are not really as represented in our state because no only do we have different ideology than them, but we are not really being as payed attention to as Christians, or males. She did a good job sharing that "21% of the government is women" and that is just really sad, I believe. I feel like this just proves that even though we do have female representatives, they will most likely be ignored, and obviously outnumbered (unless they are Republican).  Especially in women's health issues you can see the neglect women representatives face, and how outnumbered they are. You have white men making laws for women, and there is something really messed up in that.
Ms.Trejo did a really good job pointing out things like that, but she only sprinkled on it and could've had some actual examples (like the abortion bills, or birth control restrictions), to back up the misrepresentation of women done by the men in the industry. She could've also used credible sources, besides herself (even though she did make herself credible because you can tell she knew what she was talking about). Quoting the percentage of women in our government with a reliable source could've also given her some credibility. She could've shared the reason WHY she believes women are so badly represented and not as involved as men, and I feel like that would've made her post a bit better. Besides her lack of sources, I think she had a good argument that would've triggered an interesting debate.
