Of Sharon Stone And International Women's Day

Sharon Stone was in Israel recently to promote International Women's Day, an occasion that serves as rallying point for coordinated efforts to demand women's rights and participation in the political and economic process.

Sharon is an internationally known movie star, and it may be difficult for reporters to think about political and economic issues when they are so close to the beauty, but there's no excuse for the media to badger her with questions about her role as a sexy serial killer in "Basic Instinct 2".

Lovers of cinema and connoisseurs of beautiful women are well acquainted with the iconic image of Sharon crossing her legs while wearing no underwear in the film "Basic Instinct", so naturally everyone is wondering if the gorgeous actress appears nude in the sequel.

Yes.

Enough talk about women as sex objects, let's talk about International Women's Day that was celebrated on March 8. The theme this year was "The Role of Women in Decision Making", an appropriate theme in this country that has never elected a woman to the White House.

America, the greatest democracy in the world, must take giant strides to ensure that women fully participate in the political process.

With two female political heavyweights, Hillary Clinton and Condi Rice, looming in the horizon, we might finally see a woman elected president.

For those of you who are still fantasizing about Sharon Stone, "Basic Instinct 2" opens March 31.
