HOME • NEWS Stacey Abrams: “Women Are Not Only Uniquely And Disproportionately Impacted By Our Global Challenges, They Are Almost Entirely The Solution.”
Essence ^ | 3/13/2024 | Rayna Reid Rayford

Stacey Abrams helped launched a new Women’s Initiative at Columbia University’s Institute of Global Politics (IGP) last week, focusing on economically empower women and girls.

(snip)

“When asked about what an economy that focused on meeting the economic needs of women and girls would look like in an ideal world, Abrams noted that “part of the launch of the Women’s Initiative, which is embedded in IGP, is exactly that question. We know that when women and girls are lifted up, everyone rises with them. We are working together as fellows and within this Initiative to think about how women are not only uniquely and disproportionately impacted by our global challenges, they are almost entirely the solution to several of the challenges we face.”

“Digital equity, both here in the U.S. and abroad, is a critically important issue for women and people of color, which means for women of color, it is often the question of life and death,” Abrams shared. “The urgency of this moment is not lost on me. What is being done through the Women’s Initiative, what is been convened by IGP is an opportunity to bring new voices and bring an array of leaders together and not simply have us come together and bemoan what is happening or even articulate the problem. What is exciting about this and why I’m so eager to be a part of it is that our task is solution.”

“We are supposed to find solutions, leveraging the scholarship of this institution, leveraging partnerships with other organizations, including ones that we’ve been a part of, and we are bringing our own lived experience,” stated Abrams.

That's a whole lot of words that mean nothing.

She's almost in Kamala territory.

I'm sure her lemmings were nodding at everything she said.

Just One Look at her tells you that she knows all about being disproportionate.

"she knows all about being disproportionate."

Butt, what about the definition of a woman?

Apologies to the ladies but women are not the solution. I’m sorry to say they’re often the very problem -in any given situation. Again, my apologies.

Another person who’s put forward as important for no good reason.

That doesn’t even make any sense.

How are women more of a problem for alleged global warming than men?

Or global cooling?

Or whatever climate crisis the left is pushing these days?

You think they can control the weather or something?

Women are better than men, blacks are better than whites and Asians, gayfolk are better than straight folk, unhoused people are better than housed people, all other countries are better than the USA, Communists are better than Republicans, Islamics and atheists are better than Christians, polyamory is better than marriage. I think that just about covers all of Stacey’s platform and that of the DNC.

She is not a biologist, so she doesn’t know.

I am not sure, but isn’t it true, that when women become leaders, they start acting like men? I am thinking of Maggie Thatcher. She was not known as the Iron Lady for nothing.

Which explains most of human history, right?

It's all those women dictators and tyrants, right?

Ummm, women Pharaohs?

Or maybe women Caesars?

Or women popes?

Women emperors?

Women military commanders?

Um.... women warlords?

The planet was a prosperous, carefree utopia until women messed things up, right?

Do you think islam is got it right then? They don't let women do a thing. What's there for the women to mess up? That must mean islam really is a religion of peace, right?

She sure does inhabit her own little universe, but it sure isn’t reality.

Well, that’s proof that the universe is expanding, in order to fit her lard a$$ in it.
