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

When will women have total equality with men? When Republican men can get pregnant.

Because we all know liberal men already act like pregnant women - they need protection, they go though emotional swings, the hormones released during liberal male pregnancy make these men irrational.
 
.

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.
no matter what you say Fred....Indonesia is considered 3rd world.....i worked with 3 people from there....they said the place is a shithole .......outside of the places were wealthy people live....shithole.....

I've been here for 7 years, so I think I know a little more than you.
 


Holy shit, do you even read the links you post?

First link

You don't believe any charges are warranted there?

Why do you hate unborn babies?

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...

You forgot one....Pee while standing up.
On a serious note..
Abortion is legal in all 50 states. However, that is not a "women's" issue. BTW, due to out of control malpractice insurance premiums, some states lack Obstetrics services.
Contraceptive devices are the result of CHOICE.....And these are not a requirement to engage in coitus.
Until ALL contraception is recognized as a medical necessity, you'll just have to go on spending the 10 bucks a month for the pill. Or make the guy wear a rubber.
The country is not "waiting" for a female president. We will elect a woman who is the best candidate. You present this as though a female president is some sort of gender/ affirmative action issue.
There is little if any anecdotal evidence women are underpaid for their work.
The legislation coming out of Washington or at least being debated is not going to solve anything. In fact it make things worse for female job seekers. Should this silly Lilly Ledbetter thing ever see the light of day, it would open the flood gates to a parade of plaintiff's attorneys seeking settlements for the slightest little affront to an female worker that has a bug up her ass.
The result could be that companies will be much more selective in their hiring processes. And quite possible, exclude female candidates. Or, companies will as a prerequisite to employment compel the applicant to sign an agreement waiving the employee's right to sue in the case of a dispute. And it's all legal.
Now, you may some cheese to go with your whine.

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.

Thanks for your neanderthal TeaTard input. I'm sure women appreciate it.
Oh..So now if one is practical and looks at issues in the sense of the real world he's 'neanderthal'...
Hey genius. When all you have in response is hurling insults, your argument loses all credibility.

Hey lakhota, care to address this one?
 
If I'm such a clown, why do you run and cower every time I challenge you on facts?

It's not in women's nature to engage in direct combat, be it physical or verbal, they're better adapted to indirect combat, like insulting, sniping, setting two men against each other so that she can watch them fight over her issue.

So Lahkota is a woman, not just some pansy man?
 
Gee, look at al the things men can't do:
-Get an abortion
-Use any bathroom they want
-Get maternity leave
-Get paid for taking their top off
-Be girl scout leaders

I think men have more discrimination against them than women.
