Fine company we keep on women's equality



U.N.'s Convention to Eliminate All Forms of Discrimination Against Women, known as CEDAW,



Even as the rest of the world celebrates International Women's Day on Friday — not much of a holiday here — the United States will also stand out as one of the few countries yet to ratify a major United Nations treaty designed to bring equality to women everywhere

Not to mention all the religious freedom that would be curtailed. And have you thought about the poor, innocent jobs that would be murdered? How are you going to keep women in line if you start not discriminating against them? Our society is all equal now, anyway; we don't need it! I suppose you want some dear, sweet little girl somewhere to get all confused about not being discriminated against and go lesbian?

I feel like I missed several of the scare tactics.
