I have the names of some of the Presidents of some of the clubs in Paris, Beauvais Agouleme,Aviignon, Orleans, and Poiters.

Most are chapters of Les FilleZ. They tend to be very secret because they discuss the legitimacy of the regular characters. Many tend to think that you, Doug, Al and Mike,TM are various inventions of Michelle to inform, entertain or create dialogue.

Darcie used to belong to one for 3 years and she says that she left because she believes like we do that you are a true person.

The two Leondrea was referring to are the Zen Lillies(Paris) and Les FilleZ de Zen Lill(Marseille). Some of our club, Zen Lillies, are upset because Ma Qin didn’t mention their names. We are only 309, a much smaller club than Les FilleZ de Zen Lill, so the apparent slight is being taken personal.

I only know the names of presidents of the smaller clubs that meet secretly to discuss the international topics discussed on the blog. But I hear that the regular “Ruth” has been identified by two of the larger clubs in Rennes and Toulouse.

The competition is fierce because of the diversity of the posters. Some believe that it is merely the CIA making points across the globe.

Some have expressed interest in hackers who have attacked clubs in Lyon and Besancon. They claim that they know who Michelle really is.

Most of us because of that have gone underground. The rumors that spread when Michelle shut down for a year were incredibly clandestine in nature.

Many were angry and acted out by divulging intimacies that occurred between members.

Some even faked appearances by you Ruth, and Michelle to draw out members and/or to give their clubs special status.

The Howie clubs are always claiming that he has beamed in especially for the members of their particular club.

There are others all over Europe and the Middle East I am told.

Let’s hope only liberals die. That is the best way to cull the vote come November.

As a whole, the U.S. is abysmal when compared to other industrial nations when looking at gender equality. In 2015, the U.S. tumbled 8 positions to number 28 on the World Economic Forum’s ranking of the most gender-equal countries.

Here in California we can take solace that we’re among the best states for women’s equality, including tying for the top position for equality in attaining a higher education. We’re also near the top for gender-equal political representation, according to a recently completed study by WalletHub.

California didn’t fare as well in executive pay disparity, failing to make the Top 5 list. WalletHub points out that this is an ongoing problem nationwide, noting that the Center for American Progress reports that women “are only 25 percent of executive and senior level officials and managers, hold only 19 percent of board seats, and are only 4.6 percent of Fortune 500 CEOs.” And though they constitute the majority of the financial-services and health-care labor forces, not a single woman in these fields helms her organization.

The Top 5 States for Women’s Equality 2016:
1. Hawaii, total score 81.67
2. Alaska, total score 72.46
3. Maine, total score 69.49
4. California, total score 69.10
5. Vermont, total score 68.16
The Bottom 5 States for Women’s Equality 2016:
46. Louisiana, total score 45.45
47. Pennsylvania, total score 45.15
48. New Jersey, total score 44.97
49. Georgia, total score 44.46
50. Utah, total score 33.70

and utah last, where scores of women are forced via religion to share one man, but have no entitlement to flipping the gender equation on that marriage arrangment
