In Rigidly Male-Dominated Societies Like the U.S.


Obama girls, this one's for you.

Quote of the Day

"[I]n the United States, many people who consider themselves progressives still view anything to do with women as secondary.

They fail to recognize what regressives do: that the ranking of male over female is a basic model children learn early on for equating difference with superiority or inferiority, with dominating or being dominated -- a model that can then easily be generalized to different races, religions, ethnicities, and nations."


Graphic: Moving towards yet greater gender equality, Sweden is going to introduce pedestrian signs portraying a woman.
