I'm wondering where you were when the current administration made the ladies room safe for men who may or may not actually be so sexually confused they think they should be in there. Or maybe some of them might use this as a convenient cover for a little voyeurism.
Hard to spin that one as pro women's rights I think.
Or how about this, from Real Clear Politics?
"It's worse for women. Since President Obama took office in 2009, median inflation-adjusted income for women has fallen by nearly 4 cents on the dollar, according to Census data, versus slight gains for men.
On Obama's watch, an additional 2 million women have slipped into poverty. Wait a minute -- this is supposed to be an economic recovery. The poverty rate among women is now 16.1 percent -- the highest level in 20 years.
The Great Recession was the main factor that plunged families into poverty but, six years later, poverty rates have failed to return to normal levels. The poverty rate among single mothers of children under age 18 (39.8 percent) is nearly double that of single fathers (22 percent), and that gap has widened under Obama's reign.
It's well-known that labor force participation has fallen to its lowest level since 1978. What's lesser known is that the biggest decline in employment has been among women. The labor-force participation rate for females is now 56.4 percent, the lowest in more than 25 years."
In any case, ladies, if you have a gripe about a government that will be one day old on January 21, the right thing to do is get on a plane or in your car and go to some U.S. city and protest there.
Or you might actually consider the possibility that you are "having your pain in advance" and might be better served by seeing what actually shows up and protesting as needed then.
What might show up is women have more economic opportunity and are better able to care for themselves and their children. For sure that would be a refreshing change from the current administration.
And who knows, the new bunch might throw the guys, confused or not, back out of the ladies room. 227
