To the “victimhood” women of America:
No one — not a sole soul — on Planet Earth has a right to stuff. Each human being comes endowed with the unalienable rights to life, to liberty (to do whatever the heck you want . . . just so as not infringing on anyone else’s rights in the process), and to property (from whence comes the pursuit of happiness). Each also has the unalienable right to self-defense of those rights. These are natural rights, and do not — and can not — come from kings or potentates, thugs, congresses, courts or Presidents. These rights oblige no one else — and can not — that because each human being comes sovereign (subject to no other without explicit permission).
To insist that you have a right to medical care or birth control, groceries, shelter, transportation, and etc. is to institute slavery. You’d be insisting that you have a right to someone else’s life (or part thereof), someone else’s liberty, and someone else’s property. That, by definition, is slavery. Persuading government to commit armed robbery of your neighbor on your behalf is as criminal as committing the crime yourself.
Let’s explore your issue with employment discrimination. If you think — actually feel — you’re being held down or held back by others, get over it. They’re too busy working on their own success to worry about you. Other than a handful of whacko nutjobs, business executives and owners and employers are rational and logical people. If they weren’t they’d have already failed and be gone.
If women were paid — and accepted — 72 cents for a dollar men are for the same work, (as is claimed by NOW and parroted by liberal/progressive Democrats en masse) why would any employer ever again hire a man? It would be laughably nonsensical. Please put on your thinking caps, stop being a victim, and get in the game.

I like that – “sole soul.” How right you are, Doc., only you left out a cellphone in your list of things that the non-productive class thinks they have a “right” to. And as a retired business owner, I can echo the part about women getting paid 3/4 as much as a man FOR THE SAME WORK – it’s simply not true in my experience. Some may call it discrimination, but women of a certain age and recently married are prone to getting pregnant – a worry we never had with men (for some unknown reason). Great read!
Just trying, garnet92, to get some of them to occasionally think with their brains rather than feel with their uteri.
“To insist that you have a right to medical care or birth control, groceries, shelter, transportation, and etc. is to institute slavery.

Yes, and that is a problem, but not a problem for those who use a wide political net to ensnare other controlling ideals for their political purposes. Take the case of J. J. Rousseau and company [Robespierre and Marat]. J. J. conjured some ‘social contract’ our of thin air and endowed personkind with the mandate to provide such items as you list above. Cell phones were not on the list, but they are included by association. So is abortion.
I quote this idiot:
“The Social Contract argued against the idea that monarchs were divinely empowered to legislate; as Rousseau asserts, only the people, in the form of the sovereign, have that all-powerful right.
“The heart of the idea of the social contract may be stated simply: Each of us places his person and authority under the supreme direction of the general will, and the group receives each individual as an indivisible part of the whole…”
Now, we must wonder what the general will might be:
“The law is the expression of the general will. All citizens have the right to contribute personally, or through their representatives, to its formation. It must be the same for all, whether it protects or punishes. All citizens, being equal in its eyes, are equally admissible to all public dignities, positions, and employments, according to their capacities, and without any other distinction than that of their virtues and their talents.”
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_will
Well, there you have it. Whatever your ‘elected leaders’ put into LAW then becomes the GENERAL WILL and thus everyone must obey. A few activist judges can throw in a few goodies too. One wonders how the lefties could explain affirmative action, quotas, union work rules, and more. But, IF the LAW makes such divisions then that must still be the LAW and we must obey.
I lost my copy of the Social Contract. I think my dog ate it. It may have been improved and come out better than the original.

I applaud you dog, standing ovation.
“Other than a handful of whacko nutjobs, business executives and owners and employers are rational and logical people. If they weren’t they’d have already failed and be gone.”
Right on. Employees are sought not for political reasons but to fill critical job slots [all are critical now since Obama]. It is difficult to find good employees and the excellent ones mostly have jobs and are not available. Employee costs are high and rising and the risk rises also. Our phony government thinks we should pay a ‘livable wage’ even if it means no profits or even loses.
I spent 30 years in business in the biochemical area and all those years were punctuated with the ongoing quest for good people. My desk was littered with resumes from headhunters who would send off a ream of papers with qualifications that I specifically asked not to be included. Our best people were hired off the opposition .
Your last sentence is conclusive but note that it does not apply to government. They can hire some drooling parasite that wants to do ‘good’ for the world, make a mess at their job and get promoted because of their political stance. Elizabeth Warren comes instantly to mind. The real world is full of business risks; government takes no risks and their failures are paid for by taxes or debt .
