sad indeed sadpanda ...is there anything that doesn't offend you? Whay color is the sky in your world? Here is what women today just don't get: 
We are different than men ... and physically most of us aren't as strong as a man is (although Eugene sports more manly looking women with bad mullet haircuts than most US cities) Men and women are suited for different types of work and when we accept those differences and allow each person to do what they are built and hardwired to do then people are happier and feel self actualized. It's when we try to turn women into men and (God forbid) men into women then the natural order of things stops working  in a pareto optimal way.  Why is it that everytime the liberals in this state find their way back to leadership positions that they feel the need to trot this dead horse or an issue back out every 2 years for a good public flogging. There are already numerous laws on the books governing pay equity. I don't believe this is really a problem.
