"Sure you'll be equal...We'll start by lowering male worker's wages!"All those in favour:
"Join the union, girls, and together say, 'Equal Pay for Equal Work!'"
-- Susan B. Anthony, in The Revolution, March 18, 1869
"Contrary to popular opinion, 'Leave it to Beaver' was not a documentary."
-- Stephanie Coontz, The Way We Never Were
"Psychotherapy -- A long, drawn out process consisting of subtle probings of the human mind, whereby women are blamed for all of Freud's shortcomings."
-- Marc Cooper
And those against:
"My life really began when I married my husband." - First line in Nancy Reagan's autobiography
"Man...Men...Man...Man...Men" - Ayn Rand (Not necessarily in that order) I just bought a (used!) paperback copy of Ayn Rand's "We the living" - the cover has a typical painting of a woman on her knees in front of a man who looks away. Apparently the plot is about a communist and the hero fighting over a woman. Remember, property is the basis of all human rights - so one's female property is worth fighting for! See my Ayn Rand page
"Sure you'll be equal...We'll start by lowering male worker's wages!"
"The [Newswatch Canada] study concludes that [the news] is not only dominated by men, but by white men from elite backgrounds. A particularly interesting finding was the prominence of female sources and reporters for domestic stories (often considered to be 'soft news'), while males dominated 'hard news.'" (Kind of like how the black guy almost always does sports.)

The Wall Street Journal agrees that the media is sexist (and racist):
Wall Street Journal, 10/20/95) "Thirty years of affirmative action have artificially elevated black women into economic power over men. [!] This regime prevailed over the highest levels of the economy to the underclass. It prevailed on college campuses. It dominated government job training programs. It even invaded such male bastions as the cockpits of fighter planes, police squad cars, fire stations, construction sites, and university athletic teams.
"It is an unpopular fact of life that in all societies and in all races monogamous marriage is based on patriarchal sex roles, with men the dominant provider. Welfare state feminism destroyed black families by ravaging the male role of provider." (My underlining for emphesis)
And now, the downright perverse
The Ottawa Citizen (August 18),"Sarajevo's women maintain elegance, pose and beauty" by Kittie McKinsey: "Thanks to the privations of war, Sarajevo women are slim and fit." "Dodging sniper bullets and schlepping heavy canisters of water up many flights of stairs in apartment buildings where elevators don't work have also been an excellent fitness program." Don't like overweight women? Shoot at them! "She's wearing a silky, olive-green jumpsuit, with a gold chain at her neck and a wide, black lizard belt nipping her waist. Her immaculate black high heels match the belt. She's perfectly quaffed and her rose nail polish matches her lipstick"
