I wasn’t even thinking about my blog. But, some of the results surprised me. Mainly when comparisons were made to how men responded to the same questions in 1995.

Since I often call to light the unfairness bestowed upon women, I wanted to pass along some good news. We have come a long way for women’s equality.

The questions that I found the most interesting:

Will a woman be elected president in the next 20 years?

  • Possibly. I’d certainly consider voting for a woman – 78%
  • Possibly, but she won’t get my vote – 15%
  • No way. Americans will never elect a female president – 7%

In 1995, only 29% said they would elect a female president. Nearly 50% more men would consider voting for a woman! That is progress.

Complete the following statement: Breast-feeding in public is…

  • Natural and a mother’s right – 78%
  • Really gross – 22%

I don’t even know how I feel about this topic. Part of me thinks there is always someplace you can go to be discrete.

If it were painless, safe and free, would you encourage your wife or girlfriend to get breast implants?

  • Yes – 25%
  • No – 75%

In 1995, 55% of men said they’d go for bigger boobs. Hooray for the flat chested!

Nice work, men. Way to be empowering.
