Women ask lots of questions. He learned a valuable lesson on communicating with women from his 11-year-old daughter, who peppered him with questions while they were on the way to volleyball. “In a matter of 15 seconds, I got 10 questions that I had to patiently respond to,” Allen said. Allen says female City Council members are less likely to read agenda information and instead ask questions. He says it’s tempting to just tell them to read the packet, but “my daughter taught me the importance of being patient” even when they may already know the answer to the question.
my favorite a 2fer,
Women are taking over, Hillary Clinton will only encourage this. Allen talked about the general trend of more women getting involved in government, citing stats of more female mayors, for instance. “You see women in leadership positions…you will have to interact with them in a different way,” Allen said. “I submit to you if Hillary Clinton just runs, just runs for the office, you are going to see even greater numbers in leadership position, if she wins, you will see even greater numbers starting at the bottom on top.” He warns the staff to play nice with people on advisory boards or commissions because you never know when they become the elected official.
first i'm trying to figure out how a female majority of anything happened in Texas.  but this is the right wingers trying to correct what i'm sure the see as a terrible mistake never in the anals of Austin Texas politics has this happened, i'm thinking if they can't roll heads they can try and demean and give little relevance to those now on the council thereby making it harder for them to handle city business,.

checkout video  why are the newly elected women the ones not qualified if the men were they would still have the majority and not have been voted out which happens do to corruption and or incompetence.  men have brought this world to the ball of confusion it is today time for some women in political control.
