Wow. Okay.

I have what may be a different perspective on this, simply because of the time I was born. I sucked oxygen in 1969, the tail end of the civil rights movement, the middle of the feminist movement. I also come from a family full of strong broads. I've never NOT had rights, in my mind anyway. It always shocks me when I am treated as "less than" due to my race or my gender. I'm not used to it.

So, Jack, when I read something like what you posted^, I'm jarred to the core. I'm concerned on a number of levels, the chief level being that I know some no self esteem having member of my gender is going to come to this thread and tell you how fervently she agrees with you. Which will cause me to bite my tongue in twain.

To any feminists on here... what are some goals that you're actually working toward? I honestly don't see how women (at least here in Canada) don't have the same rights as men. So, I'm probably wrong about that at least... sock it to me.
I'm going to do some Googling and get back to you on this one, because here in the States, I still make only 73 cents for every USD a man makes. If the things I read here on Cdot are any indication, I am earning less than people who have little more than a brainstem

My goals as a feminist? For this conversation to be as outdated as picking a china pattern and wedding night virginity.
