Sky Dancing Women on the BBC

I was asked today to participate in a BBC radio discussion on women supporting each other.  It was today at noon on  World Have Your Say.   It was an interesting experience.  Lots of women from all over the world in many different positions.  There was a judge from Pakistan, a health minister from Kenya, and a former MP from Canada. Two of us were academics.  I felt like the trapped in the middle American in constrast to am Obamabot from San Francisco and a journalist that was channeling Phyliss Schafly like a good little Stepford Wife.   Luckily, some of the Conflucians were blogging on the lunch time thread to buck me up and get me to speak up!  Hard to get a word in edgewise but I tried!  You can listen at the mp3 download.  I don’t come in until 24 minutes into it (if you’re at all interested in that tidbit).

The treatment of Sarah Palin by the media and others basically brought up the subject. 

Here’s the links:

WHYS: Are women their own worst enemy?

Sarah Palin quotes from a Starbucks cup the words of Madeleine Albright, but why should women support each other? Are women themselves the biggest obstacle to gaining equality?
