Thread Name: BS: Failure of Feminism?
Subject: RE: BS: Failure of Feminism?
Well, a good first step in dealing with other countries sexism is for the good ol' US of A to deal with it's own first...
Women are still being paid less then men for doing the same work...
Women are still expected to do the bulk of housework and child rearing while holding down full time jobs...
Women and their children still make up a disporportionate percentage of folks living in or near poverty...
And women are frequently abused not only by their spouses, S.O.'s and others but by a legal system that allows it...
So before we tell the Saudi's how to treat women, we have a lot of heavy lifting to do ourselves...
