    Yeah, don't call anyone who duped you, fooled you, manipulated you, outperformed you, outsmarted you names. It just makes you look pathetic on top of already looking stupid.

    My bad. Canada is pioneering women's rights because they passed boobie legislature.
    Wow.

    Even though i can't comprehend why would women be unable to wear shorts during summer, surely you can come up with a better example of how men have more rights or rights that women don't. The only one i can think of is peeing while standing up, though i think women can pull it off aswell.

    I would not say the woman's rights issues are dead per se. On one hand, a woman's reproductive rights are under attack, then there is a gender pay gap, which is especially noticeable in upper echelon positions in the corporate world.

    What do you mean by reproductive rights being under attack?
    Also gender pay gap has nothing to do with rights, you don't have a right to a better salary, a better salary is earned, by merit that is and not by legislature.

    I've addressed the glass ceiling before. Woman without children have a less than 1%pay differential. They choose not to travel as much, opt for flexibility and fewer hours because #shock!# tehy want to be mothers!
    Bitter on tje palate, I know...
    Every woman in America can get an abortion, birth control, tubal ligation... The current issue is about government funding and ethics regarding what happens following the abortion. Abortion in the US isn't going anywhere.

    Women in America have not seen anything yet. With illegal immigration and third world refugees coming to the US the culture is about to change for the worse for women. Women are treated far worse in these third world countries and when a very big population from those countries invade they do not assimilate. Get ready for it ladies.

    I called no names.

    It is clear you are implying that it is acceptable for women to do what you hate when men do the same

    Oh, you missed all the hundreds of bills Republicans introduced in the last 4-5 years aimed at restricting women's reproductive rights ? You missed the constant attacks on Planned parenthood?

    Yes, the pay gap has nothing to do with rights, rights were ignored.

    What exactly is restricting women reproductive rights? I have missed, i don't live in the US.

    Yes pay gap has nothing to do with rights, women who make more than men prove that. Or do some women have more rights than others?

    Then Demand equality. You do know that women out number men in this Nation, and as such could control the political system and laws if they truly wished to, get your sisters organized and cure the problem.

    Trying to FORCE women to have ultra-sounds before they can have an abortion.

    Shortening the length of time to get an abortion, (one really backwards state wants it limited to 12 weeks)

    FORCED waiting periods between requesting an abortion and the actual abortion.

    Trying to close clinics that not only provide abortions but provide accessible affordable birth control and other health care like cancer screenings for women.

    Shooting abortion doctors.


    Your last two sentences about equal pay are so far from the real issue I really don't have the energy (after fighting for equal rights for over 50 years) to start from zero and help you along.

    Men are actually more often domestic violence victims. We are not as often hospitalized or killed by it, but we are victimized more often. Women are much more likely to be the aggressor in domestic violence. For an example, lesbian couples report a higher domestic violent rate than heterosexual or gay male couples.

    Women have focused on equality for so long it is now an eye rolling topic. Until they can just participate in society without being so focused on these things they will never be equal.

    Women can still have abortions got it. Even though i do condone shooting abortion doctors (though i doubt that was a legislature passed by republicans) the forced waiting periods and closing clinics. As for the shortening of the lenght i don't know whats the current one so i won't comment on that.

    Regarding equal pay, no matter how much you try it you'll just have to admit that women get paid less than men because the choose so. Instead of women focusing on their carees or their abilities to out perform their male collegues they don't, so they rather change the rules instead and have the State deciding what private companies should pay their employees rather than improving themselves and their position in the marketplace.

    Sorry but with your incredible statement ::"""Regarding equal pay, no matter how much you try it you'll just have to admit that women get paid less than men because the choose so""

    I will once again say that I don't have the energy to argue a point that was explained in 1960...and every year since then.

    I spent 50 years working and never once found a woman who CHOSE to make less money than the man next to her doing the same job.

    You are right, she obeyed her self and her biology and had children. Nothing wrong with that.

    Again, the myth has been debunked. Move on to other "rights".

    Pay inequality for women has proven to be a phony claim. Anyone who continues to believe it is foolish.

    WHERE did I post that it was wrong? Answer: NOWHERE.

    Here's my post in case you can find a way to spin it and say I did:

    I wonder if you could explain how one "obeys their biology"....is that some kind of Secret Ruler ???:roll:

    To believe pay inequality didn't/doesn't happen one would have to be a white male who never had to worry about it.........the lazy way out.....

    - - - Updated - - -

    It is not a myth but if it makes your white male self feel better believing woman have always been treated fairly go right ahead....women thundered over many a male to get what they wanted....:)
