Oh, women matter in the US House when they take CLERK (Teller) positions.

Three of the Four Tellers tallying the Speaker Vote are women. That is very different than panels regarding women's health that appear before committees, except of course, the issue is ending Planned Parenthood.

It is okay for women to be workers. It makes them look useful.

A crew of six Russian women (click here) have been locked away in a mock spaceship as part of an eight-day experiment to simulate conditions for a potential mission to the moon in 2029.
The experiment, the first of its kind to feature an all-female crew, is designed to “test the psychology and physiology of the female organism,” the space institute organising it said. The participants will be let out next Thursday.
Sergei Ponomarev, the scientific director of Moon-2015, said: “It will be interesting to see how well they get on with each other, and how well they are able to perform tasks. We believe women might not only be no worse than men at performing certain tasks in space, but actually better.”...


The USA can't even come close. There aren't enough women at NASA to make a complete crew for the ISS. 

And the Russian women are for a mission to the moon, not the ISS.

Russia is going forward with a manned Moon flight in 2029. There is a measured focus about Mars. That is why the USA is pushing the space program. I'll say this though; Russia was a signator to and ratified the Kyoto Protocol and did it's level best to mitigate carbon dioxide. The USA doesn't even try. 

And the USA doesn't try because of the corruption in government with unquestioned support of the petroleum industry. THIS IS RIDICULOUS. The US Congress can begin to build CREDIBILITY by eliminating petroleum support payments that are to be re-purposed into NASA.

And don't give me a bunch of bulloney about fuel needs of NASA. It is well known the USA military has worked very hard to move their fuel uses 50/50 with grain sources of fuel.
