The Proposal That Men And Women Should

The Original Feminists Wanted Two Things. They Wanted The Right To Vote, From Which We Could Work To Get More Equality. And We Have Made Progress. We Did Pass The Anti-discrimination Law, Title 7, Title 9, Equality In The Workplace, Equality In Education And In Sports And In All These Other Areas. But Enforcement Is Very Hard. Changing Stereotypes Is Very Hard.

We Have Not Ratified The Convention On The Elimination Of All Forms Of Discrimination Among Women. I Think 194 Countries Have Signed Onto It, But The United States Has Not. And Cedaw To The United Nations Is What The Equal Rights Amendment Or The Women's Equality Amendment Is To The United States. I Think We Should Pass The Women's Equality Amendment And A Lot Of These Other Fights Would Go Away.

I Just Remember When My First Child Was Born I Called The Personnel Office And I Asked Them About Their Leave Policies. And They Said, "leave Policies? Women Just Leave And They Don't Come Back." And I Said, "but I Want To Come Back." They Said, "we Have No Leave Policy." And Then They Said, "why Don't You Apply For Disability?" Well, Having A Child Is Not A Disability.

In My Research, I Found That Since 1979, Women Have Lost The Equivalent To One Night's Sleep Due To The Pressures Of Balancing Work And Family. And As More Women Have Gone Into The Work Force Because They Have To, And When You Discriminate Against A Woman's Pay You Discriminate Against Her Children Or Her Husband Or Her Significant Other In Terms Of What The Family Income Is.

More Women Are Working Because They Have To, That's What It Takes To Put The Food On The Table And Pay The Rent. And Yet We Have Not Changed Our Policies To Support The Family. The Right Wing Goes To The Floor, And They Did When They Were In Power, And Talk About Family Values. Well, Where Are They? Family Values Is Support For Child Care. Family Values Is Equal Pay For Equal Work So That Women Are Paid Appropriately.
