Maybe it should be celebrated whenever equality happens but it certainly hasn't yet. Where did equal pay or equal job opportunity go?

They've all been moved offshore to improve the bottom line..:rolleyes:
I expressly forbid the use of any of my posts anywhere outside of FG (with the exception of the incredibly witty 'get a room already' )posted recently.

Folks who'd like to copy my intellectual work should expect to pay me for it.:-6

So to be equal we have to become a 'man' :wah:

None of the young students I meet at uni see the point of feminism. During a seminar in my first year the tutor requested we put our hands up if we thought ourselves feminists, three hands went up, two mature students and the lecturer himself. They were stunned that a man could also be a feminist, one of them even muttered that me and my mate must be lesbians :rolleyes:.

All I can say is god help women if this is what we are raising, a bunch of silly little princesses who are happy to do the same job as a man and get paid less, one even said she would be happy for that to happen as long as she didn't 'know'.

Well if the Christian right wing gets their way...these princesses will be in an uproar over everything. They are not paying attention.
