This all sounds so familiar, and SO OLD! We were mounting this struggle in
the 60's around 94-142 (the original Special Education Legislation, and
Title IX. & I am not surprised. After all, what you are talking about
when
you reference sex (gender is the cultural role) is the other 51%....this is
a huge and threatening number if we kept statistics on it. You may
remember
George Bush Sr. writing "gender" out of the Hate Crimes Bill , requiring
States to collect and report crimes based on race, religion, sexual
orientation, ethnicity. This is a quiet conspiracy. If these words sound
a
tad strong, they need to be to get women angry enough to do something about
the legislative enabling of continued marginalization of girls and women.
