Thank goodness August is behind us. No more Women’s Month. So we can take up where we left off and, for the next 11 months, continue to treat women as targets and second-class citizens.
For the next 11 months, companies don’t have to try to look virtuous by rolling out their “empowered” women. And they can get back to paying them a lot less than their male counterparts .Our cops can get back to ignoring women when they come to a charge office counter looking for a protection order against an abusive spouse or partner …. or they can tell women to “just talk it out”.
And the apologists for rape and sexual assault can resume their argument that it’s “not all men” or that women sometimes make up claims to hurt a perfectly good man; never mind that by dressing in a “suggestive” way, women actually do “ask for it”.
