RE: "I'm aware of this" You made so many posts stating that men discriminate, but never one that included how women can too, that I finally posted to you the information that both actually can. RE: "I learned that women discriminate against women when something as innocuous as the Equal Rights Amendment failed to pass" This was voted in male-dominated Congress, not the populous. It continues to shock me that it still cannot pass in Congress. RE: "because not enough women voted for it" Now don't go 180 degrees the other way. Both men and women have the capacity to discriminate, not just one. The problem is when people of any gender discriminate, the second problem is when you have a Congress that doesn't represent the populous - that permits intentional and unintentional discrimination, the later being the case of a lack of awareness due to a lack of diversity in representation. RE: "Women have enough wealth now" This statement proves to me, that you really are unplugged from wealthy people and thus, are not plugged into how money flows and how money influences. Women don't even make up a small fraction of the wealth and that's an enormous part of the problem - you can look it up - I posted the data on the Intel thread awhile ago. Here's a new number I was shocked to learn: only 4% of all federal bids are won by women-owned businesses - unbelievable. I'm in the small 4% club (and no, we did not declare ourselves as women-owned so received no benefit whatsoever. We did it on our own.)
