Well, it's difficult if not impossible to measure these things. I looked at report and one measure if pay for similar work. So I think I'll talk to my boss because the woman I work with makes more than me--to hell with she's got seniority, knows the application better, our job titles are the same!! You just can't measure this stuff and to blithely point to a report supports your agenda is nonsense. Another measure was women in the workforce. OK, so you can count, but that ignores choices women make, which cannot be measured.

That's just it, I don't think anything conclusive can be said, not objectively. We just have seat of the pants subjective opinion. I don't disagree that women are sometimes treated as less than men, just not sure how to measure it. Or what to do about it. I mean, we can demand the government treat people equally, but how do you legislate people's relationships, feelings, prejudices?

You can't legislate it. The only thing you can do is to make people more aware and hope they will honestly look at each situation instead of making across the board judgements. What won't produce any results is to shut up and be happy with what we have advanced to, so far.

I'm not worried about the states. Mostly because what they bloviate about equality has little to no real importance. I don't care about bathroom issues or issues of whether or not they get their feelings hurt. Just don't care. On matters of substance - voting, pay, rights social services, women do just fine here.
Those who say otherwise are living in a mental dumpster that needs to be emptied and cleaned.
Most women aren't butthurt here either, usually only a demented few given an artificially large and captive audience in university settings.
Saudi areas? Different story. Lack of rights, routine torture and abuse. Innocent killings.
Grease that squeaky wheel and I'll be right there with you beating the drum. Because it is a matter of substance.
