Any Problem if Women Talk Politics?

This often happens in communities whose culture is predominantly paternal. I am not really sure if India is one, but here in the Philippines, certainly our culture is paternalistic in nature. It is the men who rule, both at home and in the entire community. Well, it used to be that way. lol. We have had two women presidents, two more than any country whose equal rights movements started even before world war II. Are we more open then to women entering politics? Perhaps. And personally, I have nothing against it and if you were my daughter or sister or mother, I would encourage you to be the best of whoever you want to be, a politician or not. Far be it for me to think that women should stay at home and just mind the kids. I would rather that women take up the cudgels for whatever it is they want to achieve. I have never been traditional in my views regarding this, but then, if a woman feels that she should stay at home and be the domesticated female that women used to play before, then it's fine with me. And why cannot a woman watch the TV news or read newspapers in the morning? I say don't just watch and read news, but go out and create the news herself by being in the midst of issues that affect her.

"Aha", i knew you weren't just a birdbrain! LOL! I admire women and i know they can accomplish whatever they set their minds to. Whatever your interests i hope you are given the freedom to enjoy them no matter what country you happen to come from or country you are from! Take care Mivarg.

A lot of women around the world are interested in politics. As myexcellency2 said there are women in politics around the world. In your own country there was Indira Gandhi. Are they not aware of how she helped the women to become independent of men? Women around the world need to be interested in politics in order to improve their own and their children’s lot in life...In my country there is a saying “Behind every good man there is a good woman” She has to be aware of what is going on in the political arena to at the very least to vote with intelligence. Women do have the right to vot in India on't they?

I treat all people equal. I don't have a problem with women talking about politics. In fact, I find it quite refreshing when anyone can carry on intelligent conversations on all subjects.

You have every right to discuss politics. Politics not only affect men but they affect women also. Most women are not interested in politics because it is precieved to be a "boy's club" that allows in a few token ladies. I am often disturbed that it is always precieved that men are conservative and women are liberals. There are a lot of liberal white males just look at the Democratic party. There are plenty of conservative women. I challenge you in your conversations with your co-workers to relate something personal in their life to how it is affected by the politics of our nation.

Some of the best political discussions I've had were with women, but the topic has to be discussed differently with both sexes (in general, not specific). Some women get way too emotional to carry on a rational conversation, and some guys just don't have the attention span since it doesn't deal with competition. Again, thats just my experience and may not be true for someone else. What I find disturbing is that people don't feel comfortable with in-depth conversations or they don't want to expose themselves to criticism.
