Justice Scalia Mouths Off on Sex Discrimination
Click in this link.
In 2010, I find it thoroughly shocking and even frightening that an American Supreme Court justice would say or believe this. I guess women don't have "inalienable rights," according to him. No equal protection under the. Law unless legislatures VOTE for it? The way OUR legislatures function, that will never happen. No Equal Rights Amendment has been passed. What does that tell you?

The Plight of Afghan Women: A Disturbing Picture
The Plight of Afghan Women: A Disturbing Picture
It's a shocking photo and a horrifying story, and I have a lot of sympathy for women all over the world who are in abusive and dangerous circumstances.
But the fact also remains that while we are staying there, we are dooming our soldiers to death and crippling injuries and mental disorders like PTSD and suicide. Are their lives worth any less?

Women Pay More Than Men For The Same Products
"Why It Costs More to be a Woman," by MP Dunleavey, from MSN Money. This is an eye-opening and disgusting article about how women get ripped off by companies who charge them more than they charge men for the same products. Well worth reading. One more way women are discriminated against.
