I'm a woman so all issues are my issues!!!

So I'm a "Good Ol' Girl". What does that mean? Well, it means I'm part of a womens organization that is designed as a social networking group (think, the "Good Ol' Boys Culb" but for girls). So as a member of this group I go to meetings, the latest of which was a Presidential candidate forum. So basically representatives from the Clinton, Obama, and Edwards campaigns where all there trying to sell us on their candidates. It was a great event with about 60 women in attendance there was even an LA Times reporter there and I got interviewed!
I talked about how I was supporting John Edwards and I was doing so because of his stance on college education, the two Americas and health care. The reporter turns around to me and say "so, your supporting him on national issues not womens issues." After that I could help but think, "what the hell, what do you mean not womens issues?"
If I'm a women doesn't that mean that all my issues are "womens issues"? What did that reporter expect for me to just talk about abortion and pay equity? To me that point of view hurts women. Women are capable of thinking about more than two issues. We can think about Iraq, education, health care, global warming...women can think about anything we want. Women can make any issue they want "their" issue...I find the implication that I can only think about abortion and pay equity offensive. Education is MY issue! First of all getting more women into the work place and into high ranking jobs is very much a womens issue...and how do we do that...by going to college. I can't go to college if I can't pay for it.
All issues are my issues! All issues are womens issues!!!

The Grinch

SCHIP was the bill that would provide healthcare to millions of Americas poorest children and it was vetoed. I know that the President vetoed SCHIP (twice for those who are keeping count) a while ago but I just found this video and thought it was neat.
