Those who believe a woman's role in       society is to be barefoot and pregnant forever are fossils from the       past.              [..]              >As far as I'm concerned, this is all perpetrated by the feminist movement       > with supported by men who'll say nearly anything to win the approving nod       > from wife/girlfriend/professor. It has decayed to a point that feminism IS       > sexism.              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.              >Daniel Traechin              "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.              --Lee              --        Say it loud!
