    great topic and conversation. especially for women and parents of daughters but also for anyone who is generally pissed off about inequality in any of various forms.

    1. :) Thanks a lot! I am definitely one of those people. Especially considering when I was putting this together I got to a point where I noted the Equal Pay Act, and had to ask how there's still inequality despite that legislation - my oldest daughter had to inform me sadly that the rerason is because although the legislation passed, several states refused to ratify it. Now, why in the hell would any state refuse to do such a thing? As a woman myself and the mom of girls, it just down right chaps my ass.
