Women don’t trust women.
KUWAIT CITY, June 30 -- Despite braving searing heat and turning up in the tens of thousands, Kuwaiti women, voting for the first time, chose not to put a woman in parliament in Thursday's elections.
According to partial returns reported Friday morning, none of the 27 women in the field of 250 candidates won a seat even though nearly 60 percent of the Kuwaiti electorate is female.
It is the same in Europe where women make up more than 50% of the electorate but will not vote a majority of women into our parliaments.
What excuses do women have for this?
