We simply have too many old men who can't give up on their preconceived notion that men are somehow superior to women in every way. It is a sad state of affairs.

Sorting it all out...
Republicans attack women but defend gun ownership. They have, by my standards, very strange priorities.

How society works against women
Probably a lot of us are guilty of this - including a lot of women. It wasn't uncommon, where I last worked, for women to tell me they did NOT want a woman for a boss.

Religion and feminism
How can any society rise above a primitive state when half of the population is subjugated to near slave status? It just makes no damn sense.

Abortions are more frequent among the poor
Which makes a lot of sense - they often can't afford contraception and so they get unwanted pregnancies more often and, once pregnant, they often realize that they can't afford to care for a child. Nothing new here, really.

Conservatives fight back against women in combat
Think Progress
-----------Conservatives are outraged over Defense Secretary Leon Panetta's decision to lift the ban on women in combat, which opens up more than 200,000 frontline positions to women. Opponents of the move have called it "humiliating" and dangerous to unit cohesion. On CNN's Starting Point, host Soledad O'Brien caught one such critic off guard by anonymously quoting a similar argument made during integration of African Americans into the military.
Professor Kingsley Browne, author of "Co-Ed Combat," argued that the military's physical standards would have to be lowered to accommodate women because there is "very little overlap in physical capacity between men and women." O'Brien asked him if he agreed with a 1941 quote blasting military integration from Colonel Eugene Householder without revealing its context:
O'BRIEN: I'm going to read a little bit from this colonel who said this: 'The army is not a sociological laboratory; to be effective it must be organized and trained according to the principles which will ensure success…Experiments are a danger to efficiency, discipline and morale and would result in ultimate defeat.'
BROWNE: I think that that's true. I don't think it's true with respect to ultimate defeat of the United States in a war. I think what's likely to occur though is the defeat of the United States in small battles, which means people are going to die. [...]
O'BRIEN: That was from a guy in 1941. And that argument was about not allowing black people in the military. That was his exact argument of why blacks should not be allowed in the military, because it's a danger to efficiency and discipline and morale and will result in ultimate defeat.
