Yep. Everyone on that show just *hated* doing master takes on the bridge - the director would yell for more action, and the sound guy would yell for less bumping and stomping. They needed a stagehand to run a lever that opened and closed the elevator doors, also too.

Those last two sentences should have had the "spoiler" tags for effect. Made me laugh!

Survivor benefits from spouses, because that made sense in 1940 (sort of).

Domestic labor should be compensated and benefits provided.

When Black women make the same amount as white men for the same job, you'll know we're most of the way there.

This is nice.

1) I think it would be great to have at least ONE* PRO-WOMEN STORY a week. Use Erik when possible, but have a staff writer put some effort into it also, instead of yet more bullshit about tfg. Or incels.

*It would be greater to have 3 such stories.

Nursing and education are two of the career paths in which unions still play a large role and they are jobs that are still dominated by women. For that reason alone, women should have a stronger voice in unionization than they still do today.

I’m pro-labor, but EVERY worker deserves the protections that labor unions provide. This becomes a real problem when labor unions become exclusive clubs. Good look becoming a unionized longshoreman/longshorewoman, for example.

Silly libs, there’s no such thing as gender inequality!

Oh yeah, well why won’t you let transgender women compete?

Because men have an unfair advantage that’s why!
