Beka’s Reviews > Backlash: The Undeclared War Against American Women > Status Update

"In poll after poll in the decade, overwhelming majorities of women said they needed equal pay + equal job opportunities, an Equal Rights Amendment, the right to an abortion without government interference, a federal law guaranteeing maternity leave, decent childcare services. They have none of these. So how exactly have we 'won' the war for women's rights?"

"In colleges, in 1991, undergraduate women receive only 70% of the aid undergraduate men get in grants + work-study jobs.

Federal funding for battered women's shelters has been withheld + 1/3 of the 1 million battered women who seek emergency shelter each year can find none. In the 80s, almost half of all homeless women were refugees of domestic violence."

"The triumph of equality, they report, has merely given women hives, stomach cramps, eye-twitching disorders, even comas.
But what 'equality' are all these authorities talking about?

If American women are so equal, why do they represent 2/3 of all poor adults? Why are nearly 75% of full time working women making less than 20k a year (compared to less than 35% of men making that measly amount.)"

"Law enforcement officers and judges have pointed a damning finger at feminism, claiming they can chart a path from rising female independence to rising female pathology.

As a California sheriff explained it to the press, 'Women are enjoying a lot more freedom now, and as a result, they are committing more crimes.'"

OY.
