paycheck. And if they've been grabbed elsewhere, well...good luck to them getting justice.

"We have an executive order that essentially forces women to pay to keep companies in business that discrimination against them, with their own tax dollars," said Farrell.

WHAT?

And remember it is a quote of a spoken sentence, which places the bar lower than written text. Spoken language is allowed to be less formal. If they corrected the noun "discrimination", and used the verb "discriminate", it would at least make sense, though it would still be a run-on sentence.

Why didn't editors make the correction? Cost cuts probably. You'll see a lot more grammatical errors these last few years, in sources where such errors were previously rare.

hope the DNC brings all this destruction that the republicans are doing into the limelight

a champion for abstinence.

Why are men so threatened by women?

The patriarchal mind-set is a cultural thing that afflicts everyone caught up in it, men and women alike. If the women behind the scenes were willing to stand up in favor of women's rights, it would be a different picture.

There are plenty of men who do not, apparently, feel threatened by women. Past presidents Obama and Clinton come to mind. Eleanor Roosevelt must have had a supportive husband, insofar as it was possible at that time and place.

The problem is that the patriarchal structure is ingrained in certain subcultures, so that people (male and female) raised in those subcultures are indoctrinated almost from birth with a value system that is oppressive to women.

I seem to have aways been a women's rights person. One of my mother's favorite stories about me is when I was about 5, and wanted to know why, when we said our prayers at bedtime, we couldn't say "Ah, ladies," instead of "Ah, men."

(Gave up bedtime prayers decades ago.)

Do matriarchal societies repress men?

Some tribes of monkeys are patriarchal and some are matriarchal. The patriarchal ones are ruled by whoever is toughest at fighting, so young male monkeys tend to dominate. Matriarchal monkey societies apparently have great respect for age. Older monkeys are more respected. The only exception pointed out by the researchers was that a female monkey lost status if she had an infant with a birth defect.

There are not a lot of matriarchal human societies now. It appears there were some historically, but because most scientists studying the matter previously have been male, and the products of patriarchal training, they tend to interpret evidence they find as lending support to their preconceived ideas. If they find weapons, for example, they just assume the weapons were used by men. Cooking implements? Must have been women. Obviously bits of pottery shards, arrowheads and the like don't come with gender-specific markings. And no, that isn't my idea, I've read that too. One fairly advanced matriarchal society in northern Africa seems to have placed high value on the arts. Some more primitive groups with matriarchies simply had division of labor; the women ruled in the home and in the village, and men handled hunting and fighting. Without actually seeing a functioning matriarchal society in the current world, I doubt anyone can answer your question as to how men would be treated in one.

He is evil to the core.

FDT.

ALL he wants to do is undo anything Obama did.

eom
