GENDER WARS IS A POLITICAL NOVEL FOR INDEPENDENT & PROGRESSIVE READERS
GENDER WARS is a story, about a lady politician, who, rejected by her party starts a new women's party, with her friends and a popular TV host and winds up running for President.
Gender Wars is satirical, funny, informative and inspiring, a must read for forward leaning women and men.
Author's Note
I wrote GENDER WARS because I was fascinated by the disdain and irreverent attitude with which politicians of the right treated their own women constituents. Apparently, having no thought or concern of how women would retaliate, they passed gender related law after law, many of which are outlined in this book. These laws seemed to have one deleterious purpose -- repressing the fair sex. Laws against, fair pay, choice, violence, family planning, even contraception were proposed and in most cases passed by Republican majorities and signed by Republican Governors in several states, sometimes under a cloak of secrecy.
I knew women were upset about this and I wondered how these men would react the shoe were on the other foot. So, I started to write what I planned to be a thirty thousand word novella, hopefully ready for publication by June 1st. Well, I missed both marks by quite
a bit.
The news kept coming, growing weirder and weirder. This caused my book to grow
and take longer and you know what? The more I wrote the more I believed a third party really is the answer to our growing problems with polarized politics and gridlock. So when you go to vote, remember GENDER WAR. I know I will.
EXCERPT
"We now take you to Richmond, Virginia, where Jenna Kenner is standing by. Jenna,
what's going on?"
"Thank you Jeff. I'm here at the state capital building, where a large group of peaceful,
but angry women are demonstrating."
"So I see. How many demonstrators are there?"
"I don't know for sure. Somewhere between seven and nine hundred, I would guess."
"One of the signs reads, 'Keep Yer Stinking Laws Out of My Vagina'. What are they
upset about?"
"From what I can determine they're wound-up over this new abortion law the legislature passed last night where a woman seeking an abortion would have to undergo and pay
for a procedure known as a Trans-vaginal Ultrasonic Probe."
Snicker. "Is that what I think it is?"
"Yes, and that's not funny, Jeff. How would you like a forced colonic probe?"
"Ugh, I see your point, sorry. I see a sign that reads, 'If You Cut off my Reproductive
Choice, Can I Cut Off Yours? Signed Lorena Bobbitt'. I think I know what that woman
has in mind. Would you ask her why she's mad and what she and her friends want?"
"I think she's the leader. I'll ask her"
Jenna approached the short, shapely blonde woman and stuck a mic in front of her.
"Hi. What's your name?"
"Doris."
"Hi, Doris. I'm Jenna Kenner with National News Network. I'd like to ask you a few
questions if I may."
"Sure, what do you want to know?"
"I take it you ladies are protesting the new law that Governor Bob McConnell has
promised to sign into law today."
"And you'd be right. We want Governor "Ultrasound Bob" to know that the people this
most affects don't like this stinking law, and women across the country are not going to forget, come Election Day."
"Across the country?"
Doris rested her sign on the ground. "Absolutely, Virginia isn't the only state where
self-righteous men are sticking their nose in our panties."
"I don't understand. What do you mean?"
"The Pachyderms have been having a field day approving regressive legislation in Republican-controlled states across the country."
"Pachyderms?"
"Yeah, you know, the elephants in the room."
"Oh, yeah. Which states?"
"North Carolina, Arizona, Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Nebraska and Pennsylvania,
Georgia, Mississippi, to name a few.
"My God. I had no idea."
