If there was a Mt. Rushmore for American women - who would be on it? Besides Hilary of course.

I think we can all agree that there isn’t a legitimate woman to be memorialized on Mt. Rushmore. If it were an international Mt. Rushmore, there would be many excellent women - Golda Meir and Margaret Thatcher for starters.

Lorena Bobbitt

Just like in running women will be 10-11% inferior to men in all activities that are not specifically "female", such as taking care of children or relating to other women.

Having this intrinsic inferiority in mind I'll nominate Amelia Earhart for Ms Rushmore.

We wouldn't have won WWII in the Pacific Theatre without DDT. How many millions of human lives did it save in comparison to letting a few ducks live?

Disco Gary likes to squirt his dubious dextral deceit all over the Lets Run message boards. He slanders Rachel Carson when she was 100% correct about the health hazards of DDT. Not only for birds & bald eagles or other bio-accumulating organisms in food chains, but for people, also.

In fact, South Africa's unusually high percentage of both intersex and hermaphroditic individuals are thought be a result of extensive DDT use there. In fact, it may be responsible for giving us Caster Semenya.

From Scientific American:

"The scientists reported that DDT may have a variety of human health effects, including reduced fertility, genital birth defects, breast cancer, diabetes and damage to developing brains. Its metabolite, DDE, can block male hormones.

"Based on recent studies, we conclude that humans are exposed to DDT and DDE, that indoor residual spraying can result in substantial exposure and that DDT may pose a risk for human populations," the scientists wrote in their consensus statement, published online today in the journal Environmental Health Perspectives."

The truth is more complicated than Gary admits. Despite its well-documented hazards, DDT is still the most effective insecticide against mosquitoes and the spread of malaria. So it's a double-edged sword that health officials have to use carefully and sparingly, and only in situations where the human and environmental costs aren't worse than the disease itself.

female Mt. Rushmore:

Billie Holiday, Marjory Stoneman Douglas, Georgia O'Keefe, Amelia Earhart.

Betsey Ross

How about an Arab-American such as

Helen Thomas, Gloria Estefan, Jordan Hasay, Salma Hayak, Marlo Thomas, Huma Abedein, ....

Justice Ginsburg believes that white people or males may legally be discriminated against for hiring, contract selection and school admissions. How is that just? I wonder how she feels about discrimination against Asians re school admissions and for Asians for employment at the post office.

How about Michelle Obama? She's young yet, and could have some amazing years.

I honestly did not know much about Rosa Parks,but after reading a quick bio, her involvement in civil rights was a lot more than riding a bus.

Thank you. It is sad that th e fable of Parks "riding a bus", which then made white Americans end segregation, has become the dominant narrative.

We're looking for women to put on the mountain, not the actual stone cutters.

Hugh Hefner's wives

Dolly Parton would be an interesting choice, but look out if there were an avalanche or earthquake and the wrong piece of her broke off!!!

It might be a while before the US elects four women to the presidency. That'll give us time to find another Mt for the memorial.

We don't need to find a mountain. A mole hill will do. The women will have no trouble making a mountain out of it.

Lol, Mr. Closeted White Supremacist also takes no time to indirectly disparage the entire female gender. What a predictable pattern of behavior.

Tell me, DG, why do you loath yourself so much and project it onto others?

Jane Addams. Nobel Peace Prize winner.

Rosa Parks, Eleanor Rosovelt, possibly Ayn Rand, Joan Benoit Sameulson,

Toni Morrison.

No doubt that Rosa Parks deserves to be up there. She was courageous and stepped up for civil rights like very few have done before. Will all due respect to scientific achievements (and I'm a scientist), civil rights is above all. Freedom is above all.

Elinor Ostrom won the nobel for economics, but she is not among the list. Rosa Parks changed lives, maybe indirectly, but did. Period!

And let me add Shirley Chisolm (first black American to be elected for congress)

And Sandra Day O'Connor
