I don't want to derail the thread (which is actually having some interesting conversation about an interesting topic) by going into detail--but I will say, for the record, that I'm about the farthest thing from a feminist. It isn't about just female rights, it's about equal rights. I don't care if you're male, female, black, white, old, young, gay or straight--if all American people are supposed to be equal, they should be treated equally. Period, end of story.
That legislature ensures that at least men and women are on an even playing field. Change for the positive. That was all I was saying, and I really have no desire to get into a feminism/anti-feminism debate, because I genuinely don't care about it. It was an example, and nothing more.
I'd added a lot more here, but on second thought, it's a can of worms that I just have no desire to open, so we'll just pretend that was never here.

Ok fair enough. I just feel it is unnecessary legislation. Why do we need this legislation? Women are fully covered by existing legislation that needs to be enforced..and is NOW fully enforced. This inequality is no longer institutionalized against women.
This is like the NHL adding in the neutral zone interference penalty. What happened to the plain old hooking?
And next time please argue my point. As if equality was the argument fulcrum.
