I just read an article on a woman suing her employer because arrangements weren't respected regarding childcare needs. This should be pushed in our society. How many employers commit this act of blatant sexism everday with NO REPRECUSSIONS? This could also apply to men too but it's dispoprtionally female. It doesn'r relate to abortion, but I think sexism has been the norm for so long, that even the parts of it that exist today are difficult to recognize for what they are.
Another example would be our current government allowing a regime to take power that will institute gender based slavery, if we believe what we are hearing in thr news, in Afghanistan. Women should deal with this loss of rights in a unified way and demand accountabilty from our leaders. It is a devaluing for every female when basic human rights are not enforced and gender based slavery is instituted anywhere in the world. Enough is enough.
Yes obviously, no disagreement for this man. But then I don't live in Texas or suffer from Texan culture.
Same here. All the same, my heart goes out to all the poor women in Texas trapped in poverty and abuse. Clearly this will set a precedent that other backward thinking states in the US will try to emulate.
@Deb57 I just wonder if the US can turn itself round before its too late, or if it is now in a hopeless feedback loop, that will push it over the brink. Beware the rest of the world if it does go, it still has massive economic power and arms, a large dying animal in its death throws can do massive harm.
@Fernapple I wonder the same thing. It's hard to determine if we are seeing ultra-conservatism in its death throes or if it will triumph and throw us into a dark age like we haven't seen since pre-medieval Europe. It comforts me that I'm closing in on my golden years and that my offspring didn't reproduce.
@Deb57 I often think the same things, Deb, glad that I didn't reproduce and that the sweet embrace of death awaits me possibly before things turn completely to shit.
