Welcome to Gaia! ::

She sounds like a cool woman. I think if I read more about it though, I'll get all feminazi on people and start trying to beat men with sticks or something. Okay, not really, but it does make me a bit mad.

"If women wanted to be hired like men, paid like men and promoted like men, Lader argued, then women shouldn't expect employers to deal with women's fertility issues. Why should the boss contend with maternity leave and benefits, or time off when a child is sick, in a school play or in sports? If women could control their fertility, then women could compete with men for employment. "

That'd be like telling someone to change his skin color if he wanted to be treated as well as people with paler skin. We are women. It is not feminism to change our very nature and become men with boobs. We have so much to be proud of...our bodies are great, and we shouldn't have to be ashamed of it or hide it. We shouldn't have to be faced with either restraining from sex or killing our children to be treated the same as men. Anyone who says women weren't cut out for the workplace is wrong. The workplace isn't cut out for women. Men built the workplace up and when women came into it, it didn't change. It could have adapted, and it could have gotten better, but instead women had to become like men. The initial cost would be offset by the eventual gain...a society of successful, educated individuals who could compete in the workplace.
