The World Economic Forum recently released a 23-page report that measures the gender gap in 58 countries.
The U.S. ranked 19th in Economic Participation, 46th in Economic Opportunity, 19th in Political Empowerment, 8th in Educational Attainment, and 42nd in Health and Well-being.
The U.S. ranked an embarrassing 17th overall. Sweden ranked #1 overall, followed by Norway, Iceland, Denmark, Finland, New Zealand, Canada, The United Kingdom, Germany, and Australia to round out the top 10.
And Bush dares to brag about bringing "freedom" to the women of Afghanistan and Iraq.
