“When I'm sometimes asked when will there be enough [women on the Supreme Court] and I say, 'When there are nine,' people are shocked. But there'd been nine men, and nobody's ever raised a question about that.” ― Ruth Bader Ginsburg

Are we really concerned with everything being EXACTLY 50%? That's goofy. If more women than men win, or vise versa, so be it.

I think his point is that 50% of the population shouldn’t be represented by only 20% of Congress. It’s not a matter of being off by 3-4 in one direction.

Men have dominated the spheres of politics and power for the last ... ? Let's have women dominate power and politics to for that many years into the future. Why are men are so scared of only having half? We are due way more than half. Feel grateful we are generous.

Give me about 200 years of a primarily female Congress, and then we'll call it even.

I like Notorious RBG’s comment about how many women would be good for the Supremes and she said “9”. No one said anything when the court was 9 dudes. How about 535?

Nothing in life is "fair". It has to be earned. Most people understand this concept. Others just whine & complain....

When the US tried to restructure Iraq and establish laws that the new government after Saddam includes 50% of women, Iraq said "But the US isn't 50% women." Mic drop.

It doesn’t need to be half for the sake of being half. Just put the best candidate in Forced equality is not equality
