Feminism

Here is in interesting editorial that I found recently on Feminism
http://news.yahoo.com/s/csm/20060309/cm_csm/ybruno09

Another website that I just found is regard to the Equal Rights Amendment. 35 states have ratified the amendment falling short of only three votes.... any idea why the remaining states have not ratified the amendment...espeically when well over 50% of the states have ratified the amendment...
http://www.equalrightsamendment.org/ratified.htm

Here is a chart that shows the pay rate difference between men and women (includes race as well). http://www.infoplease.com/ipa/A0197814.html

What are your comments in regard to these articles and our class discussion on Feminism?

Reminder: this is a group one required blog, but the blog is open for anyone else to discuss!

Students and teachers

I came across these articles and found them both very interesting.... especially after our talk about living in a capitalistic society- one that rewards those who work the hardest...

If your interested please read and share your comments... I would be interested to hear what you think.
