Two local political activists debated on the Bush administration's policies toward women yesterday evening in McGraw Hall. Prof. Zillah Eisenstein, a member of the politics department at Ithaca College, presented a negative view of George W. Bush's presidency in regards to women's issues. Mark Finkelstein '70, the Tompkins County Republican Party chair, argued for a positive view of the Bush administration.
Eisenstein focused her speech on recent military activities and expenditures, citing them as negative for women in Iraq, Afghanistan and around the world.
"'W' stands for war and world domination, not women," Eisenstein said.
Additionally, Eisenstein emphasized that none of the nominees were female.
