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

[boilermaker55]

Either you forgot what you posted or you are so simple-minded. If it is the latter then it is beyond explaining it to you.
Give it a break.

It was in response to your flaming bigotry towards females.
WOW! Help yourself out and take a comprehension class or ....just keep listening to the faux news crowd.
.

What do you think that proves, being married that long?
Nothing! Nothing at all about this subject.
Nice try but it packs not validity at all

Yes it absolutely is that , but only in your small and empty mind you think you are so gloriously right and mighty.
Be careful there little mind.
Things will make you look to foolish soon.
There is no real help for someone uneducated as yourself
Seek some outside help for your stupidity.
You seem to be one of those little boys that couldn't get a girl if you tried
so you lash out at them.
Please get some help before you hurt yourself forever.

lol... you dating that slut? No help needed here, married 30years. If you don't think an unmarried woman demanding free contraceptives be given to her so she can have sex with partners in college makes her a Slut, ok, then what would make someone a slut in your mind?

Yeah cause being married means I can't get a girl.

How is being against giving that slut free contraceptives flaming bigotry?

 

[hadit]

Wow! Did you pull that out of your back side!
LOL good one. Nice joke of the day.

Why do democrats continue to deny women the right to choose better schools for their children?

Makes as much sense as some of the idiotic things the OP claimed.

And was posted in complete sarcasm I believe.

You guys aren't getting the subtle satire of Hadit's comment. It copies the form on liberal media always highlighting the plight of women and minorities during disasters. Like this: Large Meteorite Impacts New York City - Minorities and Women Hardest Hit."

Democrats want to deny everyone the freedom to escape public schools. Hadit just turns to the "War on Women" victims to make the Democrat crime that much worse - "Why do democrats continue to deny women the right to choose better schools for their children?"

See it's bad that Democrats want to deny everyone freedom, but it's double-plus bad with a sinister laugh, when Democrats want to deny women freedom.

That's pretty close. Since such a great portion of families (particularly in the minority community) are headed by single mothers, lack of school choice strikes them the hardest, so it's not a real stretch to say it's a women's issue. They are the ones who want their kids to have it better than they did, and know that a good education is the best way to accomplish that. Democrats, though they piously wear the mantle of women's champions, don't give a flying rat's patoot about single mothers in the minority community. Democrat concern for women starts and stops with abortion. It's just that simple. The reality is that real women in the real world (that's almost everywhere but a college campus for you who suffered through government school) have far greater concerns than being able to force someone else to subsidize their sex life.

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.

Denied? If your statement in your mind, is true, then what you really meant to say they are denied having someone else pick up the whole tab for them, because they definitely are not denied either.

 

[ricechickie]

Liberals want women on the front lines on a battle field but get offended when a man punches a woman in the face after that woman hits or spits on that man.

They are all over the place on every issue.

I wonder if native American tribes allowed their women to go onto the battle field.

Oh never mind. Liberals and their hypocritical bullshit

I don't know if it's smart to compare warfare and assault/battery.

Who said ANYTHING about defending assault and battery? I said if a woman hits or spits on a man, is it reasonable for that man to hit that woman?

I say no. Then again I am consistent. I say a woman should not be anywhere near a battlefield, just like I say it is NOT ACCEPTABLE for a man to hit a woman ever.

However, we are inundated through the entertainment industry (Hollywood, UFC, and feminists who insist more women need to be firefighters and in the Armed forces) that women are just as physically capable as men, which is the lie. That is the deception.

The same people are then disgusted if a woman hits a man and then gets hit back. Assault? No.

Then again, I am consistent where the liberal mindset is all over the place. It is just typical of all things liberal.

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.

6 Things Women Still Can't Do In 2014...

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.

Some receive equal pay. Not in the Obama administration, but in other places.

Women have every right to run for president.

Many states, including mine, allow gay couples to marry. I went to my nieces wedding 2 years ago when she married her girlfriend. And the right for gays to marry applies to men and women.

Liberals don't seem to like to discuss how abortion is a medical procedure and, therefore, should be subject to the same standards as other medical procedures. Doctors need to know that there are no problems and the age of the fetus prior to performing abortion. Why do liberals hate that so much? If you have a chest x-ray, the doctor will show it to you and explain what is going on. Liberals don't want the same standards applied to abortions and now want people other than doctors to perform them. They are legal and like all medical procedures, you don't walk in the door and demand them. There are tests that are needed to ensure safety of the patient. Since things can go wrong with any medical procedure, and they can be fatal, it only makes sense to be within a reasonable distance of a hospital. Why do liberals act like abortions are the equivalent of having their nails done?

A lot of companies offer paid maternity leave. It's difficult sometimes because they have to hire temps to replace people and take time training them before things run smoothly. Of course, some want it all, but that doesn't happen without sacrifices. I suppose companies should offer free child care, too, so the woman can go back to work after the maternity leave.

Contraception is cheap and health insurance shouldn't have to cover every tiny thing. Your doctor visit to get the exam and contraceptive prescription is covered. Buy it yourself and shut up. $4 for many at Walmart. Get real.

Restoring the human body so that it functions as nature intended is different that paying for women to prevent getting pregnant. If women need hysterectomies because they have a problem with their uterus, then let insurance fix that problem. Keeping the body functioning is different from enhancing or altering natural body functions. We don't pay for men to buy condoms, so why should we pay for women's birth control pills?

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.

Let's discuss the 6 things you say women still can't do.

1. Receive equal pay for equal work.

Of course women can earn the same as men for equal work, please prove where women have done equal work to men and been unable to earn as much

2. Name a female president.

If you stupid liberals hadn't abandoned Clinton for Obama in '08 chances are good that A)we'd have our first woman President and B) she'd have done a better job than Obama

3. Marry another woman in any of the 50 states one chooses to live in.

Sorry you hate a states right to veto protecting what you determine is a right, but it has ALWAYS been so.

4. Necessarily access an abortion.

Bullshit plain and simple. You may not want to put in the effort required to do so, but any woman can get an abortion any time she wants.

5. Be guaranteed paid maternity leave.

why in the world should you be guaranteed paid maternity leave? That is up to each company to offer. If you don't like what your company offers, find another company to work for. Duh!

6. Be sure their health insurance will cover contraception.

Sure you can sure of that, buy your own fucking insurance.

Male-female pay gap remains entrenched at White House

The White House has not narrowed the gap between the average pay of male and female employees since President Obama’s first year in office, according to a Washington Post analysis of new salary data.

The average male White House employee currently earns about $88,600, while the average female White House employee earns about $78,400, according to White House data released Tuesday. That is a gap of 13 percent.

They should. It's crazy to expect insurance to cover everything. It's supposed to be for major expenses, not every little thing.

The right justifies making everyone pay for men's viagra or penis pumps with their weird logic.

In their world no woman needs those pills for a medical problem. They're all just sluts.

I wonder what they call the men those women have sex with? Those women aren't having sex alone.

The men are being masculine and macho when they make a baby then turn their backs and walk away from their own flesh and blood without even looking back to see what they've done. That's just fine and dandy with the conservatives. Notice no male gets chastised for making a woman pregnant then walk away from his own flesh and blood. We don't hear men talking about that or doing anything about it.

But a woman who uses birth control is a slut.

When there is not even one child in America who has to grow up without their father because he just walked away, then I think that men might have a right to have any say on the abortion and birth control issue.

Thanks. The female counterpart to Viagra are drugs which deal with vaginal dryness. If women need hormone shots, then that's a health matter because it restores the vagina to proper function, just as Viagra restores the ability for men to have erections.

So you don't consider ovarian cysts that can kill a woman to be a health problem?

I think you need to open you mind and realize that the pill is for more than just contraceptives.

When the pill is used for contraceptive it's preventing a health condition that women don't want to have. It's their body, their right.

Those women pay their premiums, co payments and deductibles. Women have the right to have insurance they pay for to cover all possible medical conditions they get or don't want to get.

A man can live just fine without having sex. It's the universe's way of telling them they've had enough sex in their life.

A woman can't live just fine without the pill. There are many health conditions that the pill is used for. It's none of your business and you have no authority to tell a woman what medication she can or can't use.

The bottom line, the pill is covered 100% by most insurance policies now and there's absolutely nothing you can do to stop it.

You don't have to agree with it. You don't have to like it. You do have to accept it.

If a physician orders b/c pills for this treatment, this I have no problem. The physician's decision is audited by the insurance company and if he's playing fast and loose with his diagnoses, then he'll be booted for being a fraud.

I think you need to open you mind and realize that the pill is for more than just contraceptives.

No one who is objecting is doing so because they have a closed mind, they simply don't live in your cartoon world where every woman who wants free b/c pills has a medical problem.

When the pill is used for contraceptive it's preventing a health condition that women don't want to have. It's their body, their right.

And it's my wallet, so fuck you. I don't say that because you're a woman, I say that because you're a thief. If you want to be an independent woman, making your own decisions, then you foot the bill for your sex life.

Those women pay their premiums, co payments and deductibles. Women have the right to have insurance they pay for to cover all possible medical conditions they get or don't want to get.

If I'm a body builder and I'm not happy with my body, then I have no right to force you to pay for my steroids so that my body can become more muscled. If I don't like that my hair is so long, I don't have a right to force you to pay for my haircut so that I can feel better about my appearance.

Prevention of pregnancy is not a medical condition, it's a lifestyle choice, just like a haircut or taking steroids or getting a nose job.

A woman can't live just fine without the pill. There are many health conditions that the pill is used for. It's none of your business and you have no authority to tell a woman what medication she can or can't use.

No one is telling you that you can't use a birth control pill, they're simply telling you to stop being a thief and to pay for your own pills yourself.

I've never seen any threads or any posts by any man condemning men who make a child and then walk away from their own flesh and blood.

It's easy for you to say you support shot gun weddings. I don't see you doing anything to stop men from walking away from their own flesh and blood.

Shot gun weddings aren't the solution. All they do is cause divorce.

The solution is for our society to not accept men who walk away from their own flesh and blood. For our society to make sure all men not just financially support their kids but emotionally and mentally too. Spend time with them. Read to them. Show them love, trust and security.

Until that's happening men have no right to say one word about women who are responsible to make sure they don't have a child who doesn't know their father, by using contraception.

Talk is cheap. Actions speak louder than words. The inaction of men to deal with that problem shows men don't give a damn about children. If they did, no man would ever walk away from their own flesh and blood.
