Yeah! You know me!
In case you don't know what #WIP
is, let me bring you up to speed
#WIP stands for Women In Politics
and believe me we all need that
If you're a man, a woman, transgender, somewhere on the gender
spectrum
whatever.
We all need
#WIP
And here is why you should be
down with #WIP
Women are one
of the most underrepresented groups in America.
Women only
represent 18.5% of US Congress
Did you know:
According to American University, women
are much less likely than men to think they are qualified to run for
office and women are less likely than
men to receive the suggestion to run for office – from anyone.
Even though we may be
underrepresented, we still contribute a ton
including how men
vote. According to the sibling gender effect, boys who have
sisters are more likely to be republicans than boys who don’t have sisters.
Women, on
average, value economic security over all other
things; this is something that can be determined by politics, yet women don't
seem to participate.
So now let me ask you:
Is there any reason you aren't down with #WIP?
Tweet:
"I'm down with #WIP" so we can start a movement and show that we
want and need more #WIP in our lives
