Yes ma'am. Good woman too. I am 43 and have a mouth on me. She will still lecture me.

Anyway, women's work has never been appreciated to this day.

Sometimes I feel obligated because of the women I've known and the things that they did for our War effort.
I got to know 2 women that flew for the 'WASP' unit; one was a regular pilot and the other was what a 'gopher'...she'd fly the repaired planes back out of the maintenance shop in Edgerton, Ks if they got held over for a major repair from the Gardner Air Fort Base and take a bus or train back home to KS.

Nooooo, panamajoe33 you have to acquire a 'Special Use Permit' in order to have a 'Parade/March' and there'd be zero city in America that would allow such a vulgar name to be used for such a purpose! Nope, and just because 'YOU SAY' it was what 'SOME' women were calling it - hardly makes the 'MARCH' what you say it was! Demeaning women in this manner is really crude/rude and debasing to a point of shutting down adult conversation and just allowing vile intent to proceed! TO WHAT POINT EXACTLY?

In addition to Boston, marches are planned in cities including Seattle; Chicago; Philadelphia; Reno, Nev.; and Austin, Texas.

“The event is in protest of a culture that we think is too permissive when it comes to rape and sexual assault,” said Siobhan Connors, 20, of Lynn, Mass., another Boston organizer. “It’s to bring awareness to the shame and degradation women still face for expressing their sexuality … essentially for behaving in a healthy and sexual way.”
.
The events are similar to “Take Back the Night” rallies and other marches that aim to bring attention to sexual violence. But there are key differences.

:-) No accounting for tastes.

But worst of all - it leads to confusion. Women now go around saying "Hey slut, how's it going?" to each other and laughing, but if a man says the exact same thing... well... you can just HEAR the slap across his face, can't you?

I also wanted to add this to the pile...

Something which most women will one day need to understand - is that there really is no such thing as a pay gap between men and women today.

I know this might upset some feminists... but hear me out.

Does it make sense for any business to hire a more expensive employee?

For example - suppose I am a florist and need to hire someone that arranges flowers. If I knew that by hiring a woman, I could save 15% or more, rather than hiring a man... would it make sense to ever hire a man? How much of an idiot would I have to be in order to pay someone more for doing the same job?

Now... apply that reasoning to a big corporation like a bank. Do you really think that any hiring manager out there would hire someone just to pay them more? As a stock owner, I would be raking the CEO over the coals if they did that.

So... if hiring women is cheaper than hiring men... why don't women have all the jobs? Why don't more companies hire women?

Obviously... it isn't just about costs is it? Usually the difference comes down to a woman's choices doesn't it.

Let's go back to the florist example. Suppose I was willing to pay $15/hr. That's all I could afford with Obamacare on top. Let's also assume that both the man and the woman applying to the job are the same age. Now, after interviewing them, I find out that the man has been doing flower arrangements for 5 years, while the woman has been doing them for 3. I discovered that she took a couple of years off to raise her child. So who should I hire? By all accounts, the man has more experience, and it would be stupid of me to not hire the man.

Now I understand that most women would say... "But you shouldn't punish a woman because she had to raise her child."

But my answer is... "Why not?"

Suppose that it was the reverse - that the man had only 3 years experience (because his wife died and he had to spend some time taking care of his newborn child) but the woman was single and had 5 years of experience? Should I take pity on the man and give him the job? Of course not - I have a business to run, and i'm not here to make YOUR life easier. Since I'm paying you, you should be making MY life easier.

So as you see... if you choose to stay in grad school, travel the world, have kids, heck... study math instead of psychology. All of these choices had an impact on your carreer, as well as your salary. For men however, it was always a given that they would be the ones who would go out and work while women would stay home and raise the kids (and cook and clean and do all those hellish jobs that women hate). But now... with feminism... that's all gone! Now women have the equal right to suffer and work in a crappy 9 to 5 job like men do, and abandon their dreams of having a family!

Welcome to the revolution girls!

TY - YellowRose; interesting how this link proves it was all about the support of "STOPPING VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN"...remarkable!!! But yet not surprising since this is exactly the way in which the women were treated back in the 60's - TY

panamajoe33 previously had posted >>> With the advent of the pill, however, that all changed. A woman now had control over her reproductive process and the whole idea of being stuck and lonely in the suburbs (2 kids at school, husband at work) was no longer appealing. For the longest time, I was against feminism. I always viewed it as an attack on men... and if you look at it honestly, that is what it has become today. I don't think you will ever go to a feminist rally and not hear some women shouting how all men need to be killed. But now I am starting to fall in love with feminism, since it too has the possibility of setting men free.

I do that with my friends...Makes us laugh..

Go ahead and judge me. I don't care...

I 'ASSumed' too much and for that I am sorry, PanamaJoe!

But do try to remember; that word along with other crude/demeaning verbiage used by my black friends aren't words that I {a 61 yr old white woman} would EVER BE ABLE to allow to drop out of my mouth - not even in a drunken moment of utter stupidity! Not if you plan on maintaining a conversation with adults in a mature conversation!

So
