[QUOTE="DDD, post: 583607, member: 35"] Thanks for pointing out this important day. As a senior citizen I have a history of trying to contribute to the women's rights issues over the decades. Although "we" have come a long way I am shocked that so few young women grasp the importance of supporting the cause. I'm not sure how it happened. Young women who got excellent college educations (often as a result of hard fought for legislation guaranteeing equal access) have climbed the Corporate ladders (which used to sumarily discount females) and now are safely on firm economic ground BUT now they don't support Planned Parenthood, Head Start, Mentoring Programs, Domestic Violence Shelters etc. etc. Most of them don't even seem to "get" that realignment of voting districts is usually done to limit minority voices. Of my four daughters only one easy child actually gives of herself working hands on with the disadvantaged. I don't get it! Going to Church and dropping dollars is a good thing. My hope and prayer is that women will learn to support women at home and around the World. Thanks for marking this day. DDD [/QUOTE]
