   Concerns? What concerns?   
      
   >Now, it seems, sexism is perfectly kosher.   
      
   Of course it is. Accepted by most, on both the left and the right.

   The military does not have a problem with women serving in uniform.   
   Why should any other employers? Those who believe a woman's role in   
   society is to be barefoot and pregnant forever are fossils from the   
   past.

   Thomas Jefferson wrote "all men are created equal" meaning "all white   
   men owning property" are equal, without regard to women or blacks or   
   anybody else. Society has come a long way since those days. So has   
   this country, which is far different from what Thomas Jefferson could   
   ever imagine.   
      
   >I hope, at some point, our culture will catch up to this critical issue in   
   > society and fix it.   
      
   Of course we will fix it. That is what is meant by the words "in order   
   to create a more perfect union." All inclusive, excluding no one.

   "I'm just a sweet transvestite from transsexual Transylvania!"   
   ~ Dr. Frank 'N' Furter   
      
   Let's not forget about transgenderism.   
   While there are more women in the work force,   
   and more women voters than men, along with   
   sexual orientation becoming a non-issue for   
   most people, transgenderism remains taboo.   
   That needs to change.
