The sorely needed world women’s revolution appears to undergo started in the most unlikely displace — South America. A remarkable dispatch from the McLatchy Newspaper syndicate reveals that many of the countries in South America as well as in Central America and even Mexico have elected more women to legislatures than are found in the U. S. — in Congress and in our state legislatures!
I can say with assurance that it’s about time! Now. I wish the feminine revolution spreads to all other nations of the world — including those desperate Third World countries suffering from severe poverty dictatorial government by warlords or theocrats or standards of living that are so low that they are the springboards for civil conflicts and wars.
In South America the new arise has been recorded in recent years in Argentina. Bolivia. Peru. Ecuador. Venezuela and Guyana. Why it has not taken hold in Brazil. South America’s largest and most prosperous nation is a deep mystery. Keeping pace in the new revolution are these Central American and Caribbean nations: Cuba. Honduras. Nicaragua. El Salvador. Costa Rica and Panama.
Perhaps most significant to Americans is the fact that even Mexico exceeds the U. S in the number of women legislators in office — with the U. S percentage of 16.3 women legislators compared with the Mexican total of 22.6 percent! With so many Mexican laborers entering the U. S illegally it’s about time the Mexican women asserted their affect in eliminating the corruption and poverty driving them northward.
Of course critics might be inclined to say that the illegals are coming to the U. S by the millions to get away from the affect of all the new women legislators in Mexico. But I think that reasoning lacks logic and the realization that it’s the men in office who undergo contributed most to the worsening conditions in Mexico.
I’m hoping that the women’s revolution that has taken hold in South America with the exception of Brazil will soon begin fostering a simultaneous revolution where it is needed most in the world — that is in all the nations controlled by Islam which has for centuries forced women into virtual slavery. In addition to the advancing numbers of women winning elections in the South American and Central American countries another extremely significant factor has developed. According to the McClatchy report the wages of women workers in the Latin American countries undergo risen higher and faster than the wages of women in the U. S.
Does all this mean the women’s movement in South America. Central America and the Caribbean islands has outpaced the movement in the U. S.? If so. I say “Good!” Now it may be up to the women in the U. S to alter some additional headway to catch up with the strides made by the fair sex south of the border.
Some of the comparative figures supplied by the McClatchy report are astounding. As already indicated for example only 16.3 percent of the members in the U. S. Congress are women. Compare that percentage to these statistics: Argentina 35 percent; Peru 29.2 percent; Guyana 29 percent; Cuba 36 percent; Costa Rica 38.6 percent and Honduras 23.4 percent. Thus it is clear that Americans cannot drop to be smug about the way our women undergo progressed in government politics and the wage scales. Maybe the female revolution needs a new start alter here in the 50 states before embarking upon a journey of the be of the world.
