8 Things Women Couldn't Do On The First Women's Equality Day In 1971 -- And 6 They Still Can't

[blackhawk]

I see it's time to dust off the war on women talking point for the midterms.

 

[SmarterThanTheAverageBear]

Anyone who tries to stifle women's rights has a neanderthal TeaTard mentality.

who in this thread has attempted to stifle womans' rights you silly person?

Name names and then name what right they have attempted to stifle

claim #8 that Lakhota has made and when challenged by the Bear to produce proof s/he has ran off . Is that shims standard response?

Well I knew Lakhota was dishonest the moment s/he claimed to be upset bout the term Redskin and then proceeded to call someone a ****.

Men have it made regarding Viagra, penis pumps, and other erectile dysfunction products. However, women are constantly being denied abortion and contraception rights. Male and female insurance coverage is not EQUAL - even when it's supposed to be part of their overall compensation package. Then comes the religious lunacy to make it even more UNEQUAL.

Perhaps because Viagra, Penis Pumps, and other erectile dysfunction products are there to correct a medical problem. Abortion on Demand and contraceptives do not correct health problems.

O

That is fucking hilarious! Thank you! Extremely stupid - but hilarious!

 

[jknowgood]

About equal pay, you need to talk to obama. Women in his administration made less than the men.

 

[Soggy in NOLA]

Oh whatthefuckever.

 

[Harry Dresden]

And conservatives still trivialize womens rights

Absolutely! Women need to pay careful attention at the ballot box.

if they did they would say fuck you to both parties......

as far as i know your ins wont pay for those things for men unless you have a physical problem backed by the Doctor....is that not what ins is for?.....

.

1. Receive equal pay for equal work.
Yes, the gender wage gap still exists. Just ask Joan Halloway.

2. Name a female president.
We're still waiting for the first...

3. Marry another woman in any of the 50 states one chooses to live in.
Since 1971 the tide of public opinion on marriage equality has turned -- same-sex marriage is now legal in 19 states and Washington, D.C. -- but there are still 31 that ban gay marriage, 28 through constitutional amendments.

4. Necessarily access an abortion.
Despite the fact that it is legal for women to terminate their pregnancies in the U.S., states have been enacting more and more restrictions around the procedure and making it harder for clinics to perform it. In July, the Washington Post reported that more than half of Texas' abortion clinics have shut down since newly-restrictive legislation passed last year. And according to NARAL, abortion restrictions disproportionately impact young women and poor women.

5. Be guaranteed paid maternity leave.
Pour another one out for American exceptionalism. The United States is the only developed country that does not guarantee new mothers paid leave. (A devastatingly small percentage of U.S. companies -- 16 percent -- offer fully paid maternity leave.)

6. Be sure their health insurance will cover contraception.
Despite an Obamacare mandate, demanding that employers that are not religious institutions or houses of worship fully cover birth control, some insurers are refusing to do so. (And of course, the Hobby Lobby case gave some for-profit employers exemption from covering contraception.)

8 Things Women Couldn t Do On The First Women s Equality Day In 1971 -- And 6 They Still Can t

Women have come a long way - but they're not there yet. Democrats seem much more willing to help advance women's rights than Republicans. Women should pay very careful attention to which candidates and representatives best support their rights.

What a backward country America is, and how badly you treat your women.
With the exception of abortion and same sex marriage, women get all the rest here.
The Kartini spirit guarantees equal employment and pat rights for women.
Indonesia had a female president.
Maternity leave is normal
As for health insurance covering contraception, why would it?
That isn't a heath issue in most cases, more one of choice.

8 Things Women Couldn't Do In 1971...

1. Get credit cards in their own names.
The Equal Credit Opportunity Act of 1974 gave women that right. The law forced credit card companies to issue cards to women without a husband's signature.

2. Legally get an abortion.
The seminal Supreme Court decision on Roe v. Wade, which protected a woman's right to choose, didn't happen until 1973.

3. Access the morning after pill.
The FDA first approved emergency contraception in 1998, and the morning after pill became available over the counter just last year, in 2013.

4. Be guaranteed they wouldn't be fired for getting pregnant.
The Pregnancy Discrimination Act of 1978 added an amendment to the Civil Rights Act of 1964, specificyng that employers could not discriminate "on the basis of pregnancy, childbirth, or related medical conditions."

5. Marry another woman.
Massachusetts became the first U.S. state to legalize same-sex marriage in 2004. Love is love is love.

6. Fight on the front lines.
Women were first admitted into military academies in 1976. And in 2013, the military ban on women in combat (tied to a Pentagon rule from 1994) was lifted by Defense Secretary Leon E. Panetta.

7. Take legal action against workplace sexual harassment.
According to The Week, the first time a court recognized office sexual harassment as grounds for legal action was in 1977.

8. Decide not to have sex if their husbands wanted to.
Spousal rape wasn't criminalized in all 50 states until 1993.

None of the above crap, with the exception of credit card issuance, has anything to do with equality. It's all focused on special privileges for women.

As for that asinine sign in the photo "how long must women wait for equality" I know women thought that up because it shows dependence - they're waiting for men to GIVE them equality (special privileges.)

Women do this with the matter of respect - they demand it like it's something owed to people. As with respect, if women want equality (special privileges) they earn them, they don't beg for them or demand them.

Why of why did our great-grandfathers give women the vote?

Why, because I don't like to see women fucked financially, mentally, and physically? Physically gives me more than enough pleasure.

You have the inner life of a woman - constant complaining, moaning about unfairness but not actually doing anything about it. No male aggessiveness, just a female passivity. Now that I've figured it out all the pieces of the puzzle fit together and make sense.

I personally find it hard to believe you are getting any physical fucking in your life. You are nasty, vile creature. I've yet to see one post of yours that indicates that you have honesty or decency about you. Not one, and I generally believe even the worst people have good qualities.

Name one law that has denied women contraception. Any Law. Also....please explain why women on Obama's staff make far less than the men.

How about a White House that pays the Women that work their $0.88 vs. the $1.00 men make? Who would support such a White House?

The entire list of 6 is horseshit, bullshit and fucking lies!

Here's one thing a woman can't do: Walk by herself on a dark night on a city street. Thank a Liberal!
