They want it changed so they get the gravy, too.<BR/><BR/>2) Women getting older and realizing that the younger (attractive) girls are getting the rewards now, instead of them, while they've likely squandered their opportunities. They want it changed so that they keep getting the gravy.<BR/><BR/>Warren Farrell has some really wonderful quotes on this in <I>The Myth of Male Power</I> -- IIRC, one is "Women who suggest that God might be a woman should be encouraged -- while women who do so while not also acknowledging that Satan might be a woman should be discouraged."<BR/><BR/>I'm still trying to figure out how it is that there is a "Women's Studies Department" at the University of Florida, but no "Men's Studies Department" -- while Florida DOES have a <B>specific ERA provision written into its state constitution</B>.

It leads to reduced IQ levels across the board in a time when higher IQs are becoming more and more called for. <BR/><BR/>Our system is designed to produce lots of good, obedient little factory workers... unfortunately, factory workers make horrible knowledge workers.OBloodyHellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09992539380115488567noreply@blogger.com
