36. So sexism is worse now than...'when' exactly?
Edited on Wed Feb-27-08 10:32 PM by sfam
Your post seems to be indicating that sexism has somehow gotten worse. Tell me, what other time period can you name were the most successful CEO (Ebay) is a woman, where a woman was seen as the inevitable presidential choice, where one of the most successful author of all time is now a Woman (JK Rowling), the most successful celebrity (Oprah), etc. Is the pay gap better now or 10 years ago?

I'm not saying things are perfect right now, but when exactly has sexism been better than today? IF the answer is "never" (it is), then why the HUGE outrage? Are you saying you don't see progress here or are you just pissed your candidate is going down in flames, in part because of sexist attacks?
